Khmer people should stop crying and complaining about Hun Sen. They have to fight for social justice. The first step is fighting for free and fair elections by peacefully marching in 2027 to demand that the government free all political prisoners, reform the National Election Committee (NEC), and reinstate the CNRP. If Khmer people are afraid to do this peaceful demonstration, they must stop crying and continuing to live under this ignorant Hun Sen's foot.

Khmer people must select a JUST CAUSE and THE RIGHT TIME to fight.

How to transfer the power peacefully and successfully in Cambodia?

Hun Sen was installed by Vietnam to execute the Vietnamization of Cambodia policy. Hun Sen never hesitated to do whatever was necessary to please his master Vietnam and maintain his grip on power.
 

Many Khmer people have lamented that we cannot win through a general election. This has been true when we have allowed Hun Sen to do whatever he wanted.

For example, in 2017, we allowed Hun Sen to dissolve the CNRP without facing any consequences
To overcome this major obstacle, we must pick a just cause and the right time to fight for.

Notice that the commune election will be held in 2027 and the general election in 2028.

We should take the following steps to achieve our goal.

In early 2027, the Khmer people should stage a peaceful demonstration to demand the release of all political prisoners, NEC reforms, and the reinstatement of the CNRP.

We have allowed Hun Sen to manipulate the election, abuse the constitution, violently suppress Khmer patriots at will, and finally let Hun Sen win the fraudulent election.

This time, Khmer people should be ready to sacrifice their lives through a peaceful demonstration to secure their demands for the release of all innocent political prisoners, the reform of the NEC, and the reinstatement of the NEC.

Without an acceptable resolution, our peaceful demonstrations will continue throughout the election period, forcing the government to cancel the election.

Therefore, the peaceful demonstration must take place before the election, NOT AFTER when Hun Sen declares that he is the winner of a fraudulent contest.

Any peaceful demonstration after the election will be legally suppressed by Hun Sen, citing that the demonstrators want to topple the legitimate government.

We cannot make the same mistake for over 40 years and expect to get a different result. We must make the government abide by the constitution.

The dissolution of the CNRP was unconstitutional. We got to fight through a peaceful demonstration BEFORE the election to get the CNRP reinstated..

In this world, freedom is not free. We must pay some price to get it.

A free and fair election is the only way to change the power in Cambodia. The PEOPLE’S REVOLUTION will inadvertently open the door for Vietnam and Thailand to directly or indirectly interfere and put a new Khmer puppet to serve their interests.

The means to achieve a free and fair election is a peaceful demonstration before the election, demanding that the government release all political prisoners, comprehensively reform the NEC, and reinstate the CNRP.

Then we join the election process. Win or lose, we will gracefully accept it because we do it the right way.

If Hun Sen is a Khmer, facing Thailand’s aggression and Vietnam’s dominant influence, he must strengthen Khmer solidarity by VOLUNTARILY promoting a free and fair election so that Khmer people can select a competent and popular Khmer leader to save Cambodia during this turbulent time.

By promoting a free and fair election, Hun Sen will leave a great legacy behind for the future and Khmer people will love and respect him.

WITHOUT A FREE AND FAIR ELECTION, THERE WILL BE NO KHMER SOLIDARITY.
