“Cambodia is undergoing a major phenomenon never seen in our history, a Cambodia flourishing, if you will,” said Theary C. Seng, founder of the Cambodian Center for Justice and Reconciliation, based in the capital Phnom Penh. She witnessed a budding new season for the country, she said, when she rode on the back of the pickup truck taking opposition party leader Sam Rainsy from the airport to Democracy Square upon his return from exile on July 19. “Crowds in the hundreds of thousands openly, fearlessly convulsed onto the truck and stage, demanding change. Their passion, palpably pulsating and electrifying the Cambodia air, acts to diminish the prior existing fear,” Seng said.
