Not long ago they were shooting at each other, I guess they've put that behind them now.

Always great to have a nepotistic son of a long term despot, who was a land grabbing billionaire, a serial killer of his political opponents, and a genocidal officer in the Khmer Rouge regime. Such an illustrious background he comes from. Will the stealing continue?

 

Instead of devoting his time as prime minister to equitably improving the health, education, and standard of living of the Cambodian people, Hun Sen has been linked to a wide range of serious human rights violations: extrajudicial killings, torture, arbitrary arrests, summary trials, censorship, bans on assembly and association, and a national network of spies and informers intended to frighten and intimidate the public into submission.
