Border of disrespect, violation, and encroachment, unlike what Vietnam promised Cambodia

Vietnam’s violation by encroaching into the White Zone in Ratanakkiri

A government official from the Ratanakkiri province reported that Vietnam have violated [the Cambodian territory] by moving its checkpoint post further, deep inside the prohibited white zone, even though the Cambodian border defense authority have asked them to stop this encroachment several times in the past already.

An anonymous provincial official reported that on 10 March 2007, the Vietnamese border troop moved its border checkpoint post approximately 200-meter deep into the white zone. The Vietnamese checkpoint post is now very close to the international border gate between Vietnam and Cambodia, in O’Yadaw district.

Rer Ray, the Ratanakkiri province police chief, confirmed that he received the report above already, and he also sent a report to the provincial authority and the Ministry of Interior to ask for a decision. “This issue has been reported to higher provincial authority and the Ministry of Interior. As for me, I already reported to my superior, I don’t want any delay in this issue.”

The 2005-2006 report from the Ratanakkiri province authority indicated that the Vietnamese side had violated several times into the prohibited white zone located between the Cambodian checkpoint and the Vietnamese checkpoint. In one instance, Vietnam built a post right on top of the location of a [Cambodian] flagpole, it also built roads, fell down trees, paved roads deep inside the prohibited white zone by several hundred meters.

RFA could not contact the Vietnamese embassy on the claim made about because of the weekend.

Nevertheless, Var Kim Hong, the president of the government national border committee, said that he did not receive this report from the provincial authority yet.

He promised to look into this case: “Our people are positioned in all institutions in O’Yadaw, let’s wait and see … there is no report from the Ratanakkiri province yet.”

On 11 February, a group of technical expert in charge of delimiting the border between Cambodia and Vietnam did not completed their mission successfully because of disagreement on border delimitation at the O’Yadaw international border gate, in Ratanakkiri province in Cambodia and Gia Lai province in Vietnam. The delimitation was made so that border posts can be installed in order to facilitate the construction of road 78 linking Ratanakkiri and Vietnam.

Sin Siekny, the border delimitation technical expert, commented: “… There is a small technical problem. It’s difficult for me to answer about this work. We have not completed yet, it’s only after it’s completed that I can provide an answer, we are studying it now.”

During mid-January 2007, there was also a report about the Vietnamese violation with the construction of a concrete bridge inside the prohibited white zone, next to the Sastr and Lom villages, O’Yadaw district. According to an official from the border defense committee, there is not one single plan that will bring to an end the Vietnamese [territory] violations.

How Hun Sen reacted when the Thai and Vietnamess boder troop moved its border in to Cambodia land? According Var Kim Hong statment. He said he did not recieve the report. When this guy(Kim Hong)recieved report,the Thai and the viet moved to near his door step already. I do not understand why Cambodia people still support Hun's government? We all Cambodian must know that Hun's government is install by Hanoi or khmer people want to live by Hun Sen's way?
