PHNOM PENH (AFP): Outgoing Cambodian ruler Hun Sen on Thursday evening unveiled the country's new government, headed by his eldest son and including his youngest son and his nephew in senior roles.

Hun Sen's Cambodian People's Party (CPP) won all but five of 125 seats in the lower house in July polls that were widely decried as a sham after the main opposition party was barred from running.
