...countries have a political divide like Cambodia's. In the '90s the nation was ruled by two Prime Ministers and two Cabinets, with power split between Funcinpec and the Cambodia's People Party (headed by current Prime Minister Hun Sen). That divide still splits the country: a national election in July left Hun Sen short of the parliamentary support he needs to rule?under Cambodia's constitution, the National Assembly can't convene without a party or coalition controlling two-thirds of the votes.
