Statement on the status of Cambodia’s indigenous minorities
I am now accused of “treason” by the Hun Sen government for having proposed some kind of administrative autonomy to the ethnic minorities (Jarai,Tampoun, Kreung, Phnong, etc.) collectively designated as “Montagnard” or “Dega.” These indigenous peoples form a large portion of the population in Mondulkiri, Ratanakiri, Kratie and Stung Treng provinces. They also represent a vibrant minority in nearby Vietnam’s Central Highlands.
This accusation of “treason” gives me the opportunity to raise an issue that has long been taboo in Cambodia: the persecution of indigenous minorities. The sad thing for the minorities and for Cambodia as a whole is that issues such as this can only be discussed within the context of politically motivated lawsuits.
I confirm that, in 2013, while visiting the US state of North Carolina, I did sign an agreement with Kok Ksor, President of the Montagnard Foundation.
On behalf of the opposition CNRP representing Cambodia's increasing democratic and progressive forces I wanted to officially recognise the legitimate rights of the many ethnic minorities living in the northeast of our country. Those indigenous peoples have been persecuted for decades, if not centuries. Their human rights have been grossly and continuously violated to the extent that their very existence as indigenous peoples is being jeopardised, leading some most knowledgeable and respected observers, such as François Ponchaud, to denounce a "silent genocide."
As a matter of fact, those indigenous peoples’ ancestral land has often been violently seized. Unabated massive deforestation has led to the destruction of their traditional livelihoods along with their physical, social and cultural environments, thus uprooting and slowly killing those most vulnerable peoples.
Granting those ethnic minorities the right to administer their communities themselves would only be the implementation of a real decentralization that goes hand in hand with democratization. On the contrary, under Hun Sen's CPP authoritarian rule, neither decentralization nor democratization has taken place.
Nobody is talking about "independence" and there is no question of a "separate state." However, our central government can grant some degree of autonomy to all ethnic minorities in the provinces where they live so as to allow them to make their own decisions when it comes to the organisation of their daily lives and the preservation of their cultures, their environments, their identities and their dignity. This will only reflect the evolution of Cambodia toward a more democratic, more modern, more inclusive and more human state.

Wait a minute dude, you are not to speak for CNRP. Kem Sokha was the last president of CNRP. You already left it and had no more say for CNRP.
Stop playing the dirty trick sleigh of hands. You speak as if you are still the president of CNRP then put your title as the President of CNRM. If people are not aware of the details, they would think you have the vetting of CNRP and/or CNRM is synonymous
with CNRP.
Oh my God, I cannot stand this scamming dude.
