You and your Democrats friend are loved to get children involve. The Khmer Rouge was taken the children as troops to kill their own family.

Vietnam supports peaceful solutions in South Ossetia Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Le Dzung Vietnam is keeping a close eye on the situation in South Ossetia and Abkhazia, and supports a peaceful resolution to the conflict, a local spokesman said at a press briefing Thursday. “Our policy of seeking peaceful solutions to the settlement of international disputes in line with fundamental principles of international laws and the United Nations’ Charter is unchanged,” Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Le Dzung said. Russia’s President Dmitry Medvedev on August 26 signed decrees that recognized the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Also Thursday, Dzung said Vietnam was determined in its policy to fight corruption, saying that all acts of corruption and bribery will be strictly punished in accordance with law, without exception. Dung made the statement in reply to a question about the Japanese August 25 decision to prosecute four former executives of Pacific Consultants International (PCI) for involvement in bribing Vietnamese officials to win the ODA-funded East-West Road contract in Ho Chi Minh City. “The Vietnamese Government and people highly appreciate official development assistance (ODA) granted to the country by foreign countries, including Japan,” the spokesman said. Vietnam received Japan’s judicial mandate on August 21 requesting Vietnam’s cooperation to investigate the case, the spokesman said. He said relevant Vietnamese agencies have started an inquiry. “Vietnam will work closely with Japan on the case in line with Vietnamese law, not letting it impact on ODA funds and Vietnam-Japan bilateral relations,” the spokesman said.

Critics say a continued crackdown threatens to spread HIV.By Seng Ratana, VOA Khmer Original report from Phnom Penh02 September 2008 Every night as the sun sets, Srey Mao begins looking for sex clients at a public park in Phnom Penh, where she has worked for the past 10 years. Until Cambodia passed a new anti-trafficking law in February, she always carried a condom, but a provision of the law that bans public solicitation of sex has made that harder.To carry a condom now is to carry evidence of a crime, Srey Mao said.When the police come, I run down into a hole, and sometimes I climb up a tree, not daring to bring a condom along because if the police find it, they will accuse me of prostitution and disorder, said Srey Mao, 40, standing under a tree in front of the Royal Railway station in Phnom Penh.Over the past few months, she said, enforcement of the new law has meant police in every district of the capital have been arresting sex workers on the streets.I never use a condom and always feel afraid the police will arrest us, she said. Sometimes we hide ourselves under a tree or in the garden bushes.Article 24 of the Law on the Suppression of Human Trafficking and Sexual Exploitation bans public solicitation of sex, with a penalty of one to six days in prison and a fine of 3,000 riel, about $0.75.The penalty may seem small, but organizations and sex workers say the new law has been an obstacle to another government initiative, the 100 percent use of condoms in the sex industry, declared in 1999.Leng Sros, a 24-year-old beer server, said that after the law, the use of condoms diminished among women in her industry who also have sex clients.Most of the beer promotion girls seldom use a condom, she said.Customers are not willing to use condoms, she said. If we use it, they feel that we are sex workers.Sou Sotheavy, director of the Men and Women Network for Development, said 100 percent condom use had been made impossible by the new law, which forces sex workers to move from one place to another, from the streets and parks to nightclubs. The moving targets make it difficult to promote condom use, he said.How can the condom be used 100 percent, he said. Even in a proper brothel it was not possible. Then what about such a brief liaison at the public garden, and with the police giving chase?Keo Tha is the director of the Women's Network for Unity. The new law has not only put sex workers at risk of HIV, but it is hurting their livelihoods, she said.Why are they not allowed to be sex workers? What are they doing wrong? she said. When the business is more strict, HIV/AIDS is more widespread.Police say the new law has allowed them to put order to the streets, making them safer for travelers.Yim Socheat, police chief of Phnom Penh's Daun Penh district, said police had no intention of driving down the use of condoms.Officers arrest sex workers with or without condoms, he said, adding that any recent decrease in condom use was due to confusion by the sex workers.The conflict between the two groups is not necessary, said Dr. Ly Cheng Huy, director of the HIV/AIDS Alliance.Both sides should understand each other, he said. Otherwise, the implementation of the law won't be undertaken properly, leading to a rise in HIV and AIDS.Meanwhile, the government is working on an initiative to make police understand that sex workers are victims, not offenders, said You Oy, secretary of state for the Ministry of Women's Affairs.However, she added, sex workers must not solicit from public places or the street. Such acts not only impact social order, she said, but also Cambodian tradition.

EVIDENCE OF THE CHINESE LOW CREATURE WHO HAVE PRODUCED : The virginity trade
EVIDENCE OF THE CHINESE CULTURE OF GAMBLING AND SEX INDUSTRY REVEALING THE CHINESE ARE LOW CREATURE IN CAMBODIA HERE. Sacrava's Political Cartoon: Cambodia - The Virginity Trade Cartoon by Sacrava (on the web at http://sacrava.blogspot.com) Tuesday, September 02, 2008 CAMBODIA: Gambling fuels poverty Many men have lost their sources of livelihood to gambling (Photo: David Swanson/IRIN)Bustling with casinos, Poi Pet attracts a large number of visitors from Thailand, as well as locals. For some games, casinos require low wagers at US$0.25 or less to attract poorer, more vulnerable gamblers (Photo: Geoffrey Cain/IRIN) POI PET, 2 September 2008 (IRIN) - In a dimly lit room in a frontier town along the Thai-Cambodian border, a man slaps down a card on the table, having bet all his daily earnings as a motorbike taxi driver.He loses the US$4 he earned that day. To quell his anger, he sniffs a bowl of glue - a daily habit to boost his stamina to work through the oppressive heat.How am I going to pay off the police tomorrow?! he exclaims in a flurry of curses, referring to the daily cuts demanded by the border officers. Gambling addiction poses a huge problem in Southeast Asia's second-poorest nation, and those afflicted can rarely find help. In a country where 33 percent of the population live on 50 cents a day, according to Cambodian government statistics, gambling is only worsening the poverty cycle.However, the Ministry of Interior, whose mandate includes overseeing Cambodia's largely unregulated gaming industry, does not even recognise gambling addiction as a problem.It [gambling addiction and gambling-related crime] doesn't happen here, said one police commander at the Ministry of Interior in Poi Pet, who refused to give his name. Maybe in countries around Cambodia, but definitely not here. Poi Pet is a small town along the Cambodian-Thai border known for its casinos.If people want to gamble legally, it's their choice, he said. But there are no counselling or mental-health services for gambling addicts in the town.Poi Pet is home to a special border zone between Thailand and Cambodia with regulated gaming, popular among Thai gamblers, as casinos are outlawed and gambling tightly regulated in Thailand.The Cambodian government has outlawed informal gambling in Poi Pet. But gamblers claim the police abuse the law, demanding exorbitant bribes when caught.Savuth, 27, who did not want his surname revealed, said Poi Pet police demanded up to two-thirds of illicit gambling earnings when caught.That added heavily to the weekly corruption tax as he put it, which involves paying another cut to the police just to avoid harassment.Rock bottom A thief-turned-casino employee, Savuth claims he was once drawn by the glamour and potential of big gambling years ago in Phnom Penh and lost everything. One night, he promised himself he would play only three times at the city's Naga Casino, but bet $1,500 and his motorbike – crucial to his career as a taxi driver.As a result, he became a thief in the capital, and developed an addiction to hard drugs. He kept gambling to sustain his addiction and soon lost his house.His commune intervened, donating $50 a month to his personal expenses until he found a new job. Instead, he gambled it away.I went crazy at that point. I couldn't find help anywhere, because everyone was so angry at me, he told IRIN. And I was homeless.With his family and friends having abandoned him, Savuth shaved his head - signifying a promise for purification – and succeeded in beating his gambling habit but not drugs. He migrated to the border where, ironically, he found work at a casino.With a lack of services for gambling addicts, such stories are common. I've known some people who lose everything, can't repay their debts, and are hunted down by criminals and killed, he said. Sometimes their children must repay the debts.Gambling on the weather Illicit gambling is so pervasive in Cambodia that residents in Battambang and Phnom Penh bet daily on the rain, with wagers topping $1,000.Such gambling is considered a higher-end sport in Cambodia, according to recovering addict So Sopheap. It's an activity of richer people, he said. But it's also an activity where the rich lose everything.It has spawned underground mafia-style networks. Participants can bet on the minute and hour rain will occur, as well as how much.The networks really get you hooked by promising a lot of money, he said. But the fact is, you can't win this game unless you know weather patterns from observing rain for years.Sopheap lost his house, property and car. His children had to find better jobs just to support his addiction, but he did not stop until he developed a serious drug addiction and his family intervened.

Many licensing and permit requirements lose their validity today
Licensing grip over businesses slackened? To All Khmer look and see how the Vietnamese culture of cheating and thievery work here and in Cambodia when they have applied in the general election in Cambodia with fake Cambodian names ID enabling to the CPP to win trough FRAUD AND GET 90 SEATS ? Again here are my solutions to this problems:PRESIDENT REAGAN INSISTS THROUGH 10 UN RESOLUTIONS1. that the KR regime must not allowed to come back to power in Cambodia2. that Vietnam cease her occupation of Cambodia followed by total withdrawal of Viet troops from Cambodia. SEE THE VIETNAMESE : SOK KONG IS A VIETNAMESE YEAY PHAN IS A VIETNAMESE A VIETNAMESE IS A THIEF ,A LIAR, CHEATER, KILLER ( BOOK BY T.TERZANI Giai Phong People wait for their turn at the HCMC Department of Planning and Investment. Many licensing and permit requirements lose their validity today with the passing of a deadline by which all government agencies were to bring their licensing in line with the 2005 Enterprise Law. Nguyen Dinh Cung of the Central Institute for Economic Management (CIEM) says that starting today, business licenses and conditions are only considered legal if they are recognized by laws or government decrees, which means those specified in bylaws issued by ministries and local authorities are no longer valid. Enterprises can file lawsuits against agencies that ask for unnecessary business licenses, and obtain compensation for any losses incurred thereof, Cung adds. According to the Enterprise Law that was passed in 2005, besides business activities that are completely banned, and those that can be conducted unconditionally, there are others that have to conform to certain conditions stipulated by the law. However, the law does not authorize ministries and local authorities to set conditions for a business activity, notes Tran Huu Huynh, head of the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s Legal Department. Ministries have been stipulating many conditions for businesses through their circulars. Huynh says that many licenses and conditions not stated in laws and government decrees should have been abolished when the Enterprise Law took effect in 2006. A decree issued last year gave ministries and state agencies more time to review the business conditions and get rid of those that were unreasonable, but few such conditions have been reduced by the deadline that falls on September 1. Many conditions should be invalidated or amended, he says, citing some examples including approvals required for promotional programs or permits granted to mend tire punctures. Cung told Thanh Nien that the number of licenses and permits that enterprises have to obtain has increased rapidly since 2000, alongside the increase in business activities subject to specific conditions. A recent study carried out by CIEM shows that business activities falling under the purview of numerous requirements imposed by various government agencies number nearly 400. And the documents proving compliance with the requirements are also of similar magnitude. At least 50 of these activities have their operating conditions listed in different documents issued by different agencies, leading to inconsistencies and confusion, Cung observed. Furthermore, many conditions are not clearly defined and most of them can be confused with the ethical code of conduct for doing business. For example, one condition stated for employment agencies is that they have employees of good virtue and provide assistance to visitors who are disabled, elderly, children and pregnant women, he said. The CIEM study found out that it takes more than 400 days to finish all the paperwork for an investment project outside industrial parks, with an average of 314 documents required to be filed. Huynh said if procedural reforms that stem from the decree are successful, it will help businesses save more than US$1 million a year. According to him, half of the 400 licenses and certificates should be eliminated as of today. Authorities in the same boat It is not just businesses, but authorities also have difficulties with licensing, says Pham Ngoc Van, head of the Dong Nai Province Department of Planning and Investment’s Business Registration Office. There are many documents concerning business conditions that are irrational but the office still has to follow the procedures strictly, she says. She suggests a fresh effort to ensure that legal documents are created with clear purposes and be considered very carefully before they are issued. Dinh Van An, director of CIEM, says the institute is going to propose that the government withdraws 43 such irrational documents this month. According to the World Bank’s Doing Business in 2008 report, Vietnam is ranked 63 out of 178 countries in “Dealing with Licenses.” Foreign firms say still entangled in red tape While foreign firms operating in this country agree there has been

Tharath Eang uses a wide-bladed knife to slice a fish diagonally, scoring the
flesh with cuts a few inches apart.
The cuts, he explains, will help the tilapia cook faster.
He tosses the gutted fish – head, tail and skin intact – into the deep fryer.
While the fish fries, Eang’s wife Souvanna prepares a sauce to accompany it.
The sauce mixes tamarind, tomato, basil, garlic and other spices.
“You have to do it right, or don’t put it on the menu,” says Tharath, who takes
pride in cooking the traditional food of his native Cambodia, the way he
remembers his mother cooking it. “What we do here, we do authentically.”
The Eangs opened Mitapeap Khmer Restaurant on Tacoma’s East Side in December to
showcase the food they grew up eating. Mitapeap is a Khmer word that means
“friendship” and “welcome to old friends.”
The restaurant is a family operation, with the Eangs handling all the cooking
and their teenage son Aalex waiting tables when he’s not in school.
Tharath, 40, a former delivery driver, and Souvanna, 38, who once worked in a
dental clinic, both grew up in the Battambang area of Cambodia, not far from
the border of Thailand. Both fled with their families from Cambodia’s
oppressive government to Thai refugee camps in the late 1970s, then to the
United States.
“When we came here, it felt like we were in heaven,” says Souvanna. “Everything
was beautiful.”
Her family immigrated first to Virginia, but they disliked the cold winters..
So after hearing about Tacoma from a family friend, the family relocated. The
cross-country bus trip took three or four days, Souvanna remembers, with her

To: camdisc@googlegroups.com Date: Wednesday, September 3, 2008, 12:43 AM At least 15 people, including women and children, were killed in an attack involving U.S.-led forces in a remote Pakistani village near the border with Afghanistan, intelligence officials and a witness said Wednesday. The U.S.-led coalition in Afghanistan said it had no report of such an incursion, said to have happened in the militant-infested South Waziristan tribal region. Pakistan's army confirmed an attack but did not specify if it believed foreign troops were involved. The U.S. and Pakistan, allies in the war on terror, have had tensions over cross-border attacks, including suspected American missile strikes in Pakistani territory. In one high-profile incident earlier this year, Pakistan said 11 of its soldiers died when U.S. aircraft bombed their border post. Habib Khan Wazir, an area resident, said the latest incident happened before dawn, shortly after an American helicopter landed in the village of Musa Nikow in South Waziristan. He said as the owner of a home nearby came outside with his wife, the American and Afghan soldiers starting firing. Khan said later the troops entered the house and killed seven other people, including women and children.. He said the troops also killed six other residents. Two local intelligence officials confirmed the account on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to media. One official said 19 people died. The U.S. embassy in Islamabad declined to comment. Maj. Murad Khan, a spokesman for Pakistan's army, said it could confirm an attack on a house near the Pakistan-Afghan border. We are collecting details, Khan said, without specifying if Americans were involved. American officials say Pakistan's tribal regions along the Afghan border have turned into havens for al-Qaida and Taliban-linked militants involved in attacks on U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan. South Waziristan is the base for Pakistan's top Taliban leader, Baitullah Mehsud. The U.S. has pushed Pakistan to crack down on the militancy inside its territory, and there have been debates in Washington over how far the U.S. can go in carrying out its own strikes. U.S. rules of engagement allow ground forces to go a few miles into Pakistan when in hot pursuit and when forces were targeted or fired on by the enemy. U.S. rules also allow aircraft to go several miles into Pakistan air space. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Cambodia Discussion (CAMDISC) - www.cambodia.org group.

Nguyen Viet Tien, the former Deputy Minister of Transport,
Transport deputy minister sacked for dereliction of duty The government has officially dismissed a deputy minister, holding him responsible for wrongdoing in managing an official development assistance project under the transport ministry several years ago. The decision issued Thursday said the successor to Nguyen Viet Tien, the former Deputy Minister of Transport, would be appointed by the Ministry of Transport. The Communist Party Secretariat issued a dispatch on August 12 instructing the government to sack Tien in light of previous irresponsibility, which caused dire consequences for an ODA management related to Project Management Unit 18 (PMU18). PMU18 is entrusted by the Ministry of Transport with managing the construction of highways, bridges and other infrastructure projects. The Secretariat dispatch also bars Tien from holding any posts in the Communist Party Unit of the Ministry of Transport, but his Party membership will remain intact.

FW: [SAMRAINSYPARTY-For] Lettre à Sa Majesté le Roi Père
A LA TRES HAUTE ATTENTION DE SA MAJESTE LE ROI PERE PREAH KARUNA SAMDECH PREAH NORODOM SIHANOUK Résidence Royale Beijing République Populaire de Chine Phnom Penh, le 2 septembre 2008 Preah Karuna vénéré, Je me permets de Vous écrire très respectueusement pour Vous exprimer à nouveau, ainsi qu'à Sa Majesté la Reine Mère, ma piété filiale ainsi que celle de mon épouse. Mais c'est devant le Père de la Nation que je me prosterne, au nom des quelque 1.300.000 citoyens khmers qui ont voté pour le Parti Sam Rainsy le 27 juillet dernier, pour Le supplier d'intervenir d'une manière ou d'une autre pour sauver la Patrie en danger. Le Cambodge est en train de faire face simultanément à un ensemble de problèmes d'une gravité sans précédent depuis la fin du régime Khmer Rouge. A un grignotage discret mais continu de notre territoire depuis trente ans par nos voisins de tous côtés s'ajoute maintenant un conflit frontalier ouvert et de plus en plus étendu avec la Thaïlande qui pourrait avoir des conséquences effroyables et incalculables pour notre pays déjà très mal en point. A la crise extérieure s'ajoute une nouvelle crise intérieure qui, au lendemain d'élections plus douteuses et plus contestées que jamais, pourrait diviser de plus en plus profondément notre pays et l'entraîner vers de nouveaux abîmes, ou du moins le faire s'écarter de plus en plus loin de la voie démocratique qu'il est censé suivre depuis les Accords de Paris de 1991, avec tous les dangers que cela comporte. En tout cas, une prospérité insolente et trompeuse pour un petit nombre de privilégiés, ne peut pas cacher le fait que le petit peuple crie famine et que la révolte gronde. Comment peut-il en être autrement quand les paysans les plus pauvres se font voler leurs terres en nombre de plus en plus grand, quand il n'y a plus de forêts ou de zones de pêche accessibles pour ces paysans pour se procurer quelques revenus ou un peu de nourriture supplémentaires comme par le passé, quand des jeunes par centaines de milliers chaque année se retrouvent sans emploi, sans revenu et sans espoir, quand des représentants de l'Autorité Publique vous extorquent de l'argent dans tous les bureaux de l'Administration ou à tous les coins de rue, quand les salaires des fonctionnaires, ouvriers et employés stagnent désespérément et quand l'inflation s'accélère vertigineusement et lamine sans pitié le pouvoir d'achat de personnes à faibles revenus qui n'arrivaient pas déjà à joindre les deux bouts? Notre pays ne doit pas sombrer comme un navire en perdition et notre peuple ne doit pas mourir comme un chien abandonné. C'est la raison pour laquelle, au nom de tous les Cambodgiens qui ont encore une conscience nationale, je Vous implore d'entreprendre une nouvelle Croisade Royale pour sauver la Nation khmère, en Votre qualité de Père de la Nation, Père de l'Indépendance Nationale, Père de l'Unité et de la Réconciliation Nationales, Père de l'Intégrité Territoriale du Cambodge (les cartes géographiques établies sous le Sangkum Reastr Niyum doivent servir de base pour la défense de nos frontières terrestres et maritimes), Artisan Suprême de la victoire sur la Thaïlande en 1962 à propos du temple de Preah Vihear et Signataire le plus éminent des Accords de Paris de 1991. Daignez agréer, Preah Karuna vénéré, l'expression de ma plus profonde gratitude et de mon indéfectible dévouement.

The PAD will whip up hatred of Cambodia and risk a war over an ancient Khmer temple!
For the past two or more years – and especially since the September 2006 coup – Thai society has been hypnotised into forgetting about its real social and political issues. Instead, the whole of society – and, most tragically, the social movements – have been entranced by a fight between two factions of the Thai ruling class. On the one side is the Thai government, the ruling People's Power Party, the former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra and his former party Thai Rak Thai. On the opposing side is a loose collection of authoritarian royalists, comprising the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD), elements of the military and judiciary that supported the coup and the Democrat Party. The authoritarian royalists are not a unified body – but they share a collective interest in wiping out Thaksin's party. The two sides are mirror images of each other. Both are firmly in the camp of the Thai capitalist elite. Both are nationalistic and prepared to abuse human rights. Thaksin's former government and current prime minister Samak Sundaravej's government support extrajudicial killings and a hardline murderous position against the insurgency in the south of Thailand. But the opposing side also cares little about such killings. It counts General Panlop Pinmanee, who oversaw a massacre at Krue Sae mosque in 2004, among its leadership. Corruption Both factions are associated with people who have a record of corruption. It is common knowledge that all Thai politicians are engaged in corrupt practices, whether legal or illegal. The military also has a long record of corruption and the junta that oversaw the illegal coup in 2006 is no exception. After the coup, they appointed themselves to boards of state enterprises and forced through increased military spending. Yet the courts have clearly been used to single out Thaksin's faction on charges of corruption and abuse of power. And while Thaksin was still in power, the courts bent to his wishes. So there is no real justice in Thailand. The judiciary are not accountable to the electorate and always support the rich and powerful. In labour courts they always rule against trade unions. There is no jury in Thailand. Political strategies There are some differences between the two factions. Thaksin's side is committed to a strategy of winning power by elections, parliamentary democracy and money politics. The PAD and their friends favour of military coups, reducing the number of elected MPs and increasing the power of unelected bureaucrats and the army. The justification for this is the belief that the poor majority in the country are too stupid to be given the vote. The PAD faction are also fanatical royalists. They want a new coup and were happy to whip up hatred of neighbouring Cambodia and to risk a war over an ancient Khmer temple. The PAD strategy, as outlined by one of its leading figures Pipop Thongchai, is to create enough political chaos that institutions and parties are destroyed, with a new order arising from the ashes. Needless to say, this new order will not be democratic, nor will it have any commitment to social justice or equality. Economic policies In terms of economic policy, the Thaksin faction wants to use a dual track strategy that mixes neoliberalism with elements of grassroots Keynesianism. They say the poor must not be left out and they do have a record of implementing pro-poor policies such as a recent heathcare scheme. However, they are not remotely socialist and are opposed to taxing the rich or building a welfare state. The PAD and the other royalists, in contrast, are hardline monetarists. They propose interest rate hikes, cutting down spending on the poor and squeezing wages. Bhumibol Adulyadej, the king of Thailand, is one of the richest monarchs in the world. He supports this economic policy and has also advocated a sufficiency economy where everyone curbs their spending according to their means. That means income redistribution is ruled out – which is why the poor have consistently voted for the Thaksin faction. Social movements Compounding this situation is the total disarray of the social movements, NGO networks and trade unions in Thailand. After the collapse of the Communist Party in the mid 1980s, the new slogan of the people's movements was the answer is in the villages. This was an NGO strategy to promote to rural development along single-issue lines. The slogan also reflected a respect for villagers which contrasted greatly with the attitude of the government. Now the slogan of those people's movement networks that are supporting the PAD has changed to the villagers are stupid and don't deserve the vote! or the answer is with the military, courts and the king. Sections of the NGO Coordinating Committee, some Thai staff in Focus on the Global South, HIV+ networks, Friends of the People and some farmer groups have all lined up to support the PAD and the demand to decrease democracy.
Unalble to solve a rift with Cambodia over a border dispute!
Thai Foreign Minister Tej Bunnag, a respected bureaucrat, tendered his resignation Wednesday amid signs that the prime minister may be forced to follow suit soon, media reports said. Tej, 65, a career diplomat, was appointed foreign minister just 40 days ago to help solve a rift with neighbour Cambodia over a border dispute about the 11th century Preah Vehear temple. He cited his wife's ill health as the reason for his resignation. Thai Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej did not immediately accept the resignation, according to the Bangkok Post online news service. Samak, who is under increasing pressure to resign himself, is scheduled to address the nation on public radio at 7:30 a.m. Thursday. On Tuesday, Samak declared a state or emergency in Bangkok after a violent clashes between pro-government and anti-government groups left one person dead and 43 injured. Despite the state of emergency, which prohibits the gathering of more than five people for political purposes, thousands of anti- government followers of the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) have refused to leave Govenment House, the seat of the administration, which they seized on August 26 and have occupied since. The army's refusal to forcefully evict the protesters, who have been demanding Samak's resignation since May 25, has highlighted the prime minister's political weaknesses. It was widely rumoured that Samak, 73, would announce his resignation Thursday morning. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Cambodia Discussion (CAMDISC) - www.cambodia.org group.
