Description
Win-Win Monument carving
This photograph shows a small carving on the 117-metre-long engraved base of the Win-Win Monument. The the central figure in the carving (possibly Hun Sen) has been defaced.
The Win-Win Monument complex – photographed here in January 2020 – was inaugurated in December 2018 to mark the twentieth anniversary of the end of the post-Democratic Kampuchea civil war, with the final defection of the remaining Khmer Rouge factions, thanks to the DIFID policy (“Divide, Isolate, Finish, Integrate, Develop”) also known as the “Win Win” policy of Prime Minister Hun Sen.
