Kem Sokha Betrayed Democracy
in his
Faustian Pact with Hun Sen
in the creation of the Human Rights Party
in waging a cold war within CNRP
in staging the internal coup to CNRP "president",
aided and abetted by Hun Sen.
* The Faustian Pact is the "idea of
selling your soul to the devil in return for great wealth and power...;
it can be applied to all kinds of dubious bargains, the whiff of danger
adding excitement to the fantastic amount of money/power/enjoyment you
expect to get out of the deal." - Griselda Heppel
Now, after Hun Sen
has exhausted Sokha's use...

Kem Sokha spurred on by his Lady Macbeths opened the Pandora's Box ** when he made a Faustian pact with Hun Sen in co-creating the vote-splitting Human Rights Party.
Out of that "box" came all the miseries of: betrayals, corruption, Veng Sreng deaths, Democracy Square shutdown, imprisonment of land/political activists, lies, seductions, his house arrest, exiles, Cambodia Daily shutdown, radio stations shutdown, his treason charge and imprisonment.

phrase "to open Pandora's box" means to perform an action that may seem
small or innocent, but that turns out to have severely detrimental and
far-reaching negative consequences. - Wikipedia
** A
"Pandora's box" is a metaphor in our modern languages, and the
proverbial phrase refers to a source of endless complications or trouble
arising from a single, simple miscalculation. Pandora's story comes to
us from ancient Greek mythology, specifically a set of epic poems by
Hesiod, called the Theogony and Works and Days.- N.S. Gill
Here's
another example, a petty one, but it reflects this mentality of the KS
camp attempting to break unity throughout CNRP until now but less
strident after the internal coup: the insertion of the HRP colors of
yellow and green into the CNRP logo and associated banners, flags and
stickers.
The
effort to insert the HRP colors into CNRP occurred at the very
beginning and continues to this day with the new CNRP-sans-SR logo, led
by Mao Monyvann. The SR camp tried to maintain unity for the public by
having some of its loyalists also don the T-shirts or caps soaked in
yellow and green to blend in with the KS camp. At one time, some
members of the SR camp had to be creative and print CNRP logo on all
PINK caps and T-shirts and wear them to intersperse with the
yellow/green to neutralize the dissension for the public.

It started with a tweet: “Somebody watches too much movies on their free time. If you respect the audience you at least make your lies sound believable. #insult #sad.”
So wrote Kem Monovithya, deputy head of public affairs of Cambodia’s largest opposition party, the Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP), and daughter of the party’s vice-president, Kem Sokha.
Monovithya’s comments, expressed last month, came as a response to the proposal made by the CNRP’s president, Sam Rainsy, who has been in exile for the last year, that he would return to face imprisonment for the release of several CNRP politicians currently in jail. Days later, following the imprisoned CNRP politicians’ rejection of the so-called prisoner swap, and following Sam Rainsy’s criticism of China for encouraging human rights abuses in Cambodia, Monovithya took to Twitter again: “Cnrp official stance prioritizes Cambodia’s interests and regional stability. Not erratic positions based on wild theories/one’s moodiness.”
