Hundreds citizens of Cambodian origin living in France met to discuss and seek to understand the major social problems face by Cambodia, as well as trying to help peacefully resolve these issues from afar.
The topic of the meeting is “Seeking the Truth to Defend our Territorial Integrity” and it was held at Wat Buddharaingsey Pagoda on Saturday 13 March 2010, in Lyon, about 500-km south of Paris, France.
Chhit Samlot, the organizer of the event, talked to RFA over the phone about the meeting: “The goal of the meeting is to seek the truth. We want to know about the truth in Cambodia, in particular about oru territorial integrity. We are lucky that Mr. Sam Rainsy, a Cambodian MP, met with Cambodian villagers in [Wat Ang] Romdenh pagoda who were victimized. Sam Rainsy was a live witness, that is why we invited him to explain about the truth. At the same time, we are also lucky to have Mr. Sean Pengse who is an expert and who knows very well about geography, history and maps, to come to explain to us so that we all unite our force to protect our territorial integrity. For this, we all need to understand clearly. This is our goal to set up this meeting.”
The organizers also indicated that two other guests of honor were also invited to explain Cambodia’s social problems: Mr. Thach Vien, President of the Khmer Kampuchea Krom Federation (KKF) in Europe, and Mr. Sok Sophat, SRP President in France. About 200 people attended the meeting.
Chhit Samlot said: “It’s not just people from Lyon or Rhone-Alp region who attended the meeting, there are also people from Austria, Switzerland, as well as from Mulhouse, from Tour, Marseille, Montpelier as well.”

Under the Cambodian People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime, no criminals that has been committed crimes against journalists, political opponents, leaders of the Free Trade Union, innocent men, women and children have ever been brought to justice.
Khmer Kampuchea Krom Federation (KKF) should not stick their noses into Cambodia problems, unless KKF free itself from your own problems, and self-deternination!
KKF is finding justice for all Khmer as a whole. KKF if fighting with the same YOUN enemy. KKF knows the YOUN very well, in order to win you must know yourself and your enemy according to the old chinese tactic called the art of war.
So we must help eachother to defeat the YOUN and all Khmer will have freedom and peace.
Ah Hun zen and his CPPs crooks are traitors to all Khmers. because these stupid animals will kill all Khmers and give land to Ah Youns. Ah in Chinese is very beautiful word.
After reading all the blog about, I just wander who are on the other side of the border. Base Cambodian history, it has to be Kmere krom, I sit true ?
It's nice to know that everybody is getting together, because Mr. Sam Rainsey is in France. If any of us Khmer is to be fully competent about problem in Cambodia, it makes sense that it's Khmer in France first and foremost and please take the lead. We'll follow you.
9:20 I agree with you, kkf are all khmer we must united,or unless you are Hanoi try to break khmer from united. But again Khmer Krom are all Khmer who suffer from the hand of evil Hanoi who is the enermy of the world. We must love Khmer Krom and united and support their cause to fight for freedom.
long live Khmer Krom, we love you ,we support your causes, your pains, your suffering and your struggle from the hand of evil Hanoi, wich the world has come to known the human right record in Vietnam and we must not stop free ourself from them.
Every Khmer group is infiltrated by Yuon spies. They speak Khmer and hold Khmer ID. They pretend to join and support Khmers and speak against Yuon, but they themselves are Yuon spies. I know real Khmer Krom are good Khmers but some spy killers are among us Khmers, and one of them is Ly Ngoc Yiep. Soy Polin sold Khmer News Paper to Yuon spy.
I am glad that organizers take their time to set up a meeting to educate the public, especially the Cambodian people who want nothing more than to have what the French left behind for them in 1953.
i like the fact that khmer people got together as one to seek out common solution to some of our social problem back in our homeland, khmer. first, brainstorm for ideas, put ideas into action in order to find solution to help make a real difference back in cambodia, our native homeland. god bless all.
Mr. Sam Rainsy should go back to Cambodia and fight for border issue rather than stays in France and talking to media. It's hurting me so bad when I saw CPP has branded him as a coward.
I have paid life insurance in USA and ready go to Cambodia with Mr. Sam Rainsy.

Sam Rainsy party needs more than that to win the next election, a change, a drastic change, limit PM mandate to 2 times per example.
