- <p>Hun Sen seeks to regain ground lost to the Khmer Rouge
- </p>
- <p> For 11 months, the 22,000-strong United Nations Transitional
- Authority in Cambodia has responded to complaints of cease-fire
- violations by claiming that it was powerless to stop them.
- Meanwhile, the Khmer Rouge have systematically enlarged the area
- they control. Now the Hun Sen government has taken matters into
- its own hands, retaking much of the lost territory in a
- large-scale military operation in the northern and western parts
- of the country. Hun Sen has offered to withdraw his troops
- behind a buffer zone that would be policed by U.N. troops. UNTAC
- officials declined; though the U.N. has the firepower, they'd
- rather supervise elections than try to stop the fighting.
