Cambodia's king celebrates birthday with rural families

PHNOM PENH (AFP) - Cambodia's King Norodom Sihamoni has marked his 53rd birthday with hundreds of rural families, palace officials said.

Fifty-four monks -- one for each year of the monarch's life, plus one for next year -- and some 300 families, held a low-key ceremony with the king in Kompong Speu province, about 100 kilometers (62 miles) from the capital Phnom Penh, palace press officer Heng Kim Kun said.
King Sihamoni handed out food to the villagers and monks, Heng Kim Kun said, adding that the monarch had wanted to spend part of his birthday weekend among people in an isolated part of his kingdom.

Cambodian prime minister, Hun Sen, today accused some members of the real family to want to subvertir the Constitution so that the ex- monarch Norodom Sihanouk can participate in the policy, and clarified that in that case he will not doubt in resorting to the Army to avoid it.
In an intervention televised from the province of Kampong Chhnang, Hun Sen sent a serious warning to its partner of Government, prince Norodom Ranariddh, that recently has asked in public its father, Norodom Sihanouk, that between in the political sand.
It also had words for prince Sisowath Thomico, ex- adviser of Sihanouk and founder of the new party Sangkum Cheat Niyum, that the last week appealed in the Parliament to a vote from confidence to the present Government and did not urge to the octogenario ex- monarch that it guides the destinies of Cambodia.
“If you attack to me through the military, I will use the troops. If you attack to me through the law, I will use the law. If you attack to me using the psychological war, I will use the television”, indicated Hun Sen.

I hope that Her Majesty Norodom Monineath will be well again in no time. She seems to be a very nice woman, and I'm sure she suffered a lot, since her country suffered a great deal. A good Queen suffers along with her people.
