Members of the Khmer Krom Federation have met with the U.S State Department officials to discuss about the human right situations of Khmer Krom people living in Vietnam, reports radio Free Asia.
The Khmer Krom delegation comprising of 5 members was led by Mr. Thach Ngoc Thach, president of Khmer Krom Federation. They met with a group of 8 U.S State Department officials led by Mr. Bratt Blackshaw, head of the Vietnam Affairs at the State Department.
Mr. Thach Ngoc Thach said: "There were 8 officials from the State Department who met us. They come from the Religious Affairs, Refugee Affairs, Educational Affairs and the Human Right Affairs of the State Department."
Mr. Thach Ngoc Thach said that the meeting resulted in three positive outcomes which give hope to the Khmer Krom's non-violent struggle for self-determination. He said: "We achieved three important outcomes from the meeting. First, all officials are committed to our proposals that the Khmer Krom Buddhist affairs be separated from and independent of the control of the Vietnamese authority. They said that they will continue their efforts to address this issue. Secondly, they are committed to helping Khmer Krom refugees/asylum-seekers. We want them to help Mr. Tim Sakhorn and other 6 Buddhist monks to come to America. The U.S pays more attention to those regugees/asylum-seekers who are recognised by UNHCR and Thai auhtority and they said that when the status of those asylum-seekers are clearer, they are happy to help facilitate their cases. Thirdly, we proposed that America provides scholarships to Khmer Krom students, even a few of them per year is enough, because we wanted to encourage Khmer Krom students to study harder."

So I am.
It is a good news for all Khmer people that American officials have taken efforts to listen to the sufferings of the Khmer Krom people. I hope they will do something to help the Khmer Krom people from the Vietnamese oppression.
This is a great success for all Khmer. Khmer Krom cannot do this alone. Khmer need Khmer and Khmer help Khmer in order to protect our nationhood.
Khmer must learn from the Jewish people. No matter where one was born or from, we all must care/protect our KHMERland: Cambodia + Kampuchea Krom (the Mekong Delta) + Surin (Buriram + Sisaket + Surin)Please help teach your children and the world about KHMERLAND.
These Ah Khmer-Yuons get too excited already.

I'm certain that Ah Chan and Ah Chen, Ah Khmer-Yuons, (from Minnesota, the state of 10000 lakes)would like to exploit the opportunity. Remember, there are plenty of caskets to handle out, if you ignore our warning. I think both of you are too excited to , once again, exploit the opportunity.

You sure about your comment ?
All Khmers born have the same felling about Khmers in Nokor Reach or Kampuchea Krom.
We all Khmer people, no one love or care about us then we love each other. We the only one make that happen to bring back our Home Land and our Freedom.
Kaun Khmer in Bloold

If the PM does not care about the Khmer people, but why did the PM imperiled his life to save others from being end up in the mass graves? It is my belief that the Khmer people, particularly the Cambodian-American'ts and other Khmer overseas should be grateful for Prime Minister Hun Sen's courage and audacity for risking his life to save these people.
