WORLD IN BRIEF : CAMBODIA : Sihanouk Urges End to Deadlock

Cambodian resistance leader Prince Norodom Sihanouk urged his guerrilla allies to yield to Cambodian government demands as a way of ending a deadlock over formation of a Supreme National Council. Under a U.N. peace plan, the council is to help guide the nation to democracy through new elections. No reaction was immediately available from the Vietnamese-installed government or from the Khmer Rouge allied with Sihanouk. The Khmer People’s National Liberation Front, the third guerrilla faction, supported the prince’s call. The Cambodia government has said that if Sihanouk is to be the council chairman, as the guerrillas have demanded, the government also should have another seat on the council.
