Khmer Krom people must not loose sight of true independence from Vietnam! The communist Vietnamese government never gives a fuck about Khmer Krom people economic well being besides stealing land from the Khmer Krom people and gives it the Vietnamese population and disenfranchising Khmer Krom people through political process!
Khmer Krom people heard all the broken promises before from the communist Vietnamese government and there is no point for the Vietnamese government to lie any longer and the communist Vietnamese government must respect the right to self-determination of the Khmer Krom people!

I know you either vietnamese a Khmer working for vietnam.
Please be known that, to shut up and eliminate over 10 millions Khmer people living in their own original territory is an international criminal act of this modern era. Khmer Krom people have learned their lessons the hard way and they will prove their fight to survive, that other Khmer might learn from.
