he does not have an absolute iron grip on the country and his son, hun manet, 45 years old is completelylarity about what really happens in cambodia. hun sen is one of the same record he has run on for a very long time, saying essentially brought peace in the country, i helped in civil war in the 1990s and i brought economic growth and all those things true and cambodians recognise that but half the voters are under 35 and many cannot remember the terrible khmer roush war in the 70s and 80s and many are unhappy with the cost of hun sen's model of growth involving huge corruption, massive inequality and the number of luxury cars in a country that is poor is almost obscene and almost exploitation of the natural resources. many would like to see a change of direction and hun manet may try to push that but his party is beholden to many business interests that have done so well under hun sen so he may not be able to satisfy those aspirations for a kind of politics that we have not seen under hun sen's somewhat thuggish style of leadership. thank you. we will be getting the latest from jonatha
