Marking the Anniversary of the Cambodian Coup Attempt
By Brad Adams / Cambodia Daily | July 2, 2014
Though long forgotten by most, Wednesday is the 20th anniversary
of the July 2, 1994 coup attempt by senior CPP figures against co-Prime
Ministers Prince Norodom Ranariddh and Hun Sen.
The CPP’s leadership was never as united as those outside the party
believed, but by July 1994 it had descended into factional conflict.
Things started to unravel after the royalist Funcinpec defeated the CPP
in the May 1993 Untac-administered election. Afraid that Prince
Ranariddh’s Funcinpec would try to use the 69 seats in its coalition
with two smaller parties to force the CPP’s 51 members of parliament
into opposition, Mr. Hun Sen and the CPP organized a fake secession
movement in the eastern part of the country.
