Cambodian PMs threat of 'war' raises fears of unrest in next month's local election

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

HE threatens to wage 'war' on violent protesters

Cambodia's prime minister has warned the opposition that he will crack down on post-election protests should they turn violent.

The strong language has raised fears that unrest could grip the Southeast Asian country if next month's local-election results are contested by the opposition.

HE's warning on Wednesday referred to protests in 2013 when supporters of the opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) destroyed at least two police cars following allegations of vote-rigging.

"If war happens, let it be."
