Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Hun Manet to Succeed Father as Cambodia’s New PM After Transfer Approved by Cambodian Lawmakers

HeadlineAug 23, 2023

In Cambodia, lawmakers officially elected Hun Manet, the son of long-standing, outgoing Prime Minister Hun Sen, to be the country’s new leader. Hun Sen won reelection last month after eliminating any viable challengers, and declared just days later his son would succeed him. Hun Manet is a military general. Analysts say Hun Sen is expected to keep wielding the bulk of Cambodian political power, even as he transfers the premiership to his son.
