Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on Wednesday issued a challenge to self-exiled Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) Acting President Sam Rainsy, daring him to return to the country.
Sam Rainsy, who recently took the office of acting president of the now banned major opposition party last week vowed to return to Cambodia in 2019 to fight for democracy.
“I want to clear everything up with this person,” the prime minister said during a meeting of garment factory workers in Kandal province. “I have already ordered Civil Aviation to not ban this awful guy because we need to put him in handcuffs.”
“We’ve been trying to arrest this guy for a long time, and now he’s going to surrender. If you don’t come before March, you’re a dog!” Hun Sen said.
Sam Rainsy, who has been living in self-imposed exile for nearly three years to avoid a string of convictions by courts seen as tied to Cambodia’s Prime Minister Hun Sen, made the announcement that he would return to Cambodia before March 2019 at a public forum held on Dec. 16 for party supporters in Paris.
CNRP activists across Cambodia welcome Sam Rainsy’s announcement and many said they would risk their freedom to welcome the self-exiled politician upon his return.
Political analyst Kim Sok believes the prime minister’s threat is an attempt to prevent Sam Rainsy’s return.
“If Sam Rainsy returns to Cambodia, that’s an alarming situation for Hun Sen,” said Kim Sok.
He said if Sam Rainsy is arrested, Hun Sen will face more pressure, but if Hun Sen doesn’t arrest Sam Rainsy then his power will be challenged.
Meanwhile, the CNRP’s chief in Kampong Chhnang province Keo Thai said even though the prime minister is threatening Sam Rainsy, he would still support the CNRP. He also said that he would lead his supporters to welcome Sam Rainsy upon his arrival in country.
“I am committed to the revival of Cambodia’s democracy,” Keo Thai said. “As long as there is no democracy, I will continue my work for the sake of the democracy-loving Cambodian people”
Hun Sen on Wednesday also said that former CNRP commune councilors would not be allowed to resume the positions, to which they had been elected in local elections in 2017. He urged the former officials of the banned party to instead find other means of making a living.
The prime minister then praised CNRP defectors who joined his Cambodia People’s Party (CPP), saying they would be allowed to continue in their positions until the end of their terms, and could run again as CPP candidates in 2020.
“Don’t dream of returning to your [former CNRP] positions,” he said.
Hun Sen also said he is working to create more rural CPP positions to encourage more CNRP to defect.
A former CNRP commune chief named Seik Chamnap said he wouldn’t sell out and take any position from the CPP. He reiterated that the people didn’t vote for a CPP candidate.
“We are standing firm. We won’t bow our heads,” Seik Chamnap said.
Hun Sen also said again that he would not request that Cambodia’s king restore the political rights of the entire group of 118 CNRP officials who were banned from politics, but would allow them to request reinstatement individually. He urged those still banned to complete their requests soon so that they can return to politics in time to compete in future elections.

Kook at Ah Meh Bork Hun Shit !! Bork Bork Bork !!!!
Win Win = Nguyen Nguyen = Cambodia is a province of Vietnam
The evil Vietnam wanted to swallow Cambodia because Vietnam knew that there were some cheap Khmers who will implement Vietnam's plan in exchange for money and power. Vietnam has found a perfect one named Hun Sen.
Right now at the time that Vietnam and Hun Sen attack the CNRP, some stupid Khmers such as Kem Mono Shittia, her sister, Yem Torl Panha Rith, Sdach Tor Meh Kor, Ah Touch Dombol Yor, etc...have behaved strangely and inadvertently helped Yuon and Hun Sen.
These stupid people must remember that the CNRP without Sam Rainsy will go nowhere. The CNRP must have both Sam Rainsy and Kem Sokha to stay strong and competitive with the Yuon's party CPP.
Stop dreaming stupid girls Kem Shittia and sister. Your dream of having Kem Sokha as President of the CNRP without Sam Rainsy will take you to hell. The winner will be Yuon and its slave Hun Sen.
You must get rid of your foolish ambitions Kem Shit Tia and sister.
@2:11PM, you are an idiot.
You said CNRP must have Kem Sokha to stay strong, then one second later you said his two daughters are stupid and shitty.
What is wrong with you?
I got it, the idiot @2:11PM misrepresented Kem Sokha's two daughters. The two only wanted their father to remain as the president of the defunct CNRP because he was brave, challenging Hun Sen multiple times head on thus suffered prison multiple times. They view Sam Rainsy as a coward who kept running away and even refused to board the airplane back to Cambodia at the last minutes to avoid any potential jail sentence.
(Cambodian National Assembly voted to strip Sam Rainsy's immunity so that he could be potentially prosecuted and sent to prison. That's enough to stop Sam Rainsy from going back to Cambodia.)
I view Sam Rainsy as clever while Kem Sokha as a bone-head. The two sisters view their father as brave while Sam Rainsy as a coward. It's just a matter point of view.
But there is nowhere I see the two sisters said Sam Rainsy cannot be in CNRP. To say "CNRP without Sam Rainsy will take you to hell", the person will go to hell instead.
A great way to drive away international support is to act stupid.
