RCAF chief offers more ‘revolution’ warnings

Deputy commander-in-chief of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces Kun Kim yesterday reminded troops in the country’s east to remain vigilant against any group’s plotting a “colour revolution” to topple the government, according to an official.

As the relationship between the Kingdom’s two main political parties has deteriorated in recent months, government and military officials have increasingly warned of potential “instability” and vowed to stamp out any suggestion of a “colour revolution” – the largely nonviolent popular movements that have toppled regimes in Eastern Europe.

Kim, a long-time close ally of Prime Minister Hun Sen, has taken to the road this week to hand out raincoats ahead of monsoon season, starting on Monday near the northern border with Thailand and arriving yesterday in military region two, which includes Prey Veng, Kampong Cham and Svay Rieng provinces.
