Moulinaka

Encyclopedia : M : MO : MOU : Moulinaka

The Molinaka (Mouvement De Liberation Natioanle Du Kampuchea; National Liberation Movement of Kampuchea) was formed by numerous armed groups on the Thai-Cambodian border in August 1979. Molinaka was the first resistance group that pledged loyalty to Prince Norodom Sihanouk, later becoming the military wing of his FUNCINPEC party. Molinaka received most of its backing from French-based Cambodian exiles.

In 1992, a splinter group from the FUNCINPEC party, the Molinaka Nakator-Sou (Kampuchean Freedom Fighter Party) was formed by Prum Neakaareach. The party took part in the 1993 elections and won one seat in Kampong Cham but was dissolved in 1998 due to infighting.
