Hun Xen defends Yuon invasion and occupation of Cambodia?

PM takes aim at Liberation Day critics

Prime Minister Hun Sen lashed out at opposition figures on Wednesday who criticised the country’s celebration of January 7 as a day of liberation from the Khmer Rouge, again emphasising the importance of the day in Cambodian history.

Speaking at a high school inauguration in Kampong Cham’s Memot district two days ahead of the national holiday, the premier claimed all criticisms of the event were motivated by politics.

I would like to say that January 7 liberated everything, including ghosts and evil spirits and even liberated the heads of those who are cursing January 7,” Hun Sen said.

The holiday, commemorating the anniversary of the overthrow of the Khmer Rouge by the Vietnamese army in 1979, prompts an annual debate in Cambodia about the extent of Vietnamese influence that was ushered in by the event.

After Pol Pot’s overthrow, Vietnamese troops remained in Cambodia, battling resistance factions including remnants of the Khmer Rouge, until their withdrawal in September 1989.


But Hun Sen said that if there was no January 7, there would be no Khmer Rouge tribunal and the country would not have made any progress.

“Those who consider January 7 as their enemy, would they dare say if there was a genocidal regime of Pol Pot or not?” Hun Sen said.

Ke Sovannroth, secretary general of the opposition Sam Rainsy Party, said that the SRP did not consider the day as one of liberation, seeing it rather as the birthday of the ruling Cambodian People’s Party – the successor of the communist People’s Revolutionary Party of Kampuchea that took power in 1979.

She said the country should instead mark the anniversary of the 1991 Paris Peace Accords as the day of the country’s liberation.

“We do not welcome this celebration,” Ke Sovannroth said.

“We consider only the October 23, 1991, peace agreement as the day that brought an end to the country’s disputes and brought development.”

Hun Sen said, however, that without the toppling of the Khmer Rouge, the Paris Peace Accords would never have been signed.

“I would like to put the question at this point: If Pol Pot had continued to have power until 1991, would Pol Pot [have] agreed to sign it?” he said.

It depends on how you look at it; January 7th can be viewed as a day of either invasion or liberation. There is no doubt that the viet invaded Cambodia on that day and some people think that the aftermath of the invasion was the liberation.

In the grand scheme of thing, however, we should ask ourselves the bigger question whether the liberation was in fact the pretext for the invasion? To take it a step further, if liberation was the intiontion then how come the viets did not widthraw from Cambodia voluntarily? Only after suffering huge casualties did the viets withdraw from Cambodia in the early 1990s.

Thus we can conclude that the viets manipulated the situation in Cambodia and used liberation as the excuse for the invasion.

Only uneducated people think January 7 as a liberation day. there is no free lunch in this world. yuon has its own agenda and interest to invade cambodia: first to protect its own border security frequently attacked by the khmer Rouge, Second to place cambodia as its saterlite state like Laos,and third to fullfiel Ho Chi Minh's dream of future Indochina federation under Hanoi control such as former Soviet Union under Moscow. In political scientist term, invasion and humanitarian intervention can put to test for january 7th. Did Vietnam honestly come to liberate Khmer when they saw PolPot killed Khmer? based on what we have seen from the past to present day, Vietnam did not come to liberate Khmer from the killing field but to invade and colonize Cambodia. Thus, there is no humanitarian intervention on January 7th, but the full invasion .

Hun Sen has more Crimes than any other in Cambodia' history.
His Crime as follows :

1)- Brought Yuon to Invade Cambodia.

2)- Created K-5 plan.(Aprox. 600,000 Killed)

3)- Bombast in front of the old ASS.

4)- Coup D'etat 1997 (Aprox. 13,000 Killed)

5)- Koh Pich Murder (Aprox 400 Killed)
6)- Cut land to Yuon Enemy

All these crimes are enough evidences for International Prosecution.

I ask all khmer to file International lawsuit against Hun Sen for his "Axis of Evil" on Khmer People. And make The CASE "OO4" for KRT. backed by United Nation.

Vietnam reason to invade Cambodia to drive out the Khmer Rouge was irrelevence. The deaths of Cambodian was no important to Hanoi. The more Cambodian die, the easier it would be for the invasion. Hanoi impatience had clouded their judgement. They have miscalculated the timing of the invasion. If Hanoi had just waited a little longer, Khmer Rouge would killed more Cambodians and the taking over of Cambodia would have been a lot easier. Either way, the dirty job was done and the opportunity Hanoi had been waiting for so long had finally presented itself, and what an opportunity it was. It was almost like a perfect plan. HMMMM..........

If Pol Pot bowed down to Yuon sa Hun sen does today, he still in the power until today. No matter how many khmer were being killed by Pol Pot. Hun Sen doesn't need to propagandize for the Yuon invaders.

Where was your father and your grand father at Pol Pot' time. Were they out side or in side Cambodia. Go to ask them or bark off your dirty mouth.

Stop thinking 1/7 for a second.
Mr Sihanouk talked
from Beijing which he
said,"dear lovely children go the jungle to free our country from Lon Nol".
China was Pol Pot master;Mr Sihanouk was a Vietcong helper.Pol Pot was
also side by side with Vietcong too.
China,Sihanouk,Pol
Pot,and Vietcong.
There were few thousand Khmer went
to the jungle,but ten thousand Vietcong were everywhere in the
countryside of Cambodia in 1970.
Mr Sihanouk asked Vietcong for help.
The Vietcong were
Cambodia invader
in 1970.
In 1972,Vietcong left Cambodia,but Khmer Vietminh: Heng
Samrin,Chea Sim and other Vietminh or Khmer Rouge fled to Vietnam.Because Khmer Rouge and Vietminh were not getting along each
other;Heng Samrin,Chea Sim,and
Hun fled to Vietnam.
Then they came back
in 1979 to invade Cambodia in second time.Did Vietcong come to rescue or invade Cambodia?
Who were/are the main root of this
happening?
Mr Sihanouk,Pol Pot,Vietcong,Heng Samrin,Chea Sim,Hun Sen were/are Khmer killing field.
From now on Khmer must their minds,not depend on
Thai and Vietnam;Depend on themselves;Khmer help Khmer.

Does it really matter what January 7 brings for Cambodian people?

For me January 7 is the day when communists killed each other! After the communists killed each other and Cambodia was occupied by another communists! As you can see the situation for Cambodia never change! From one communist to another communist!

So what is the point of talking about communists killing another communists and Cambodia under another communist occupation? Does talking about communists killing another communist has benefit dirt poor Cambodian people in any way? No!

AH HUN SEN can talk good and glorify about the January 7 and it is because he is a fucken communist! I am no fucken communist and I am not bothered by the fucken January 7! The January 7 is only a fucken date for the communists’ not for Cambodian people! Now if you are non-communist and free loving people who love liberty, freedom, and justice just ignore AH HUN SEN bastard communist! hahahhah

AH HUN SEN is a lone wolf when he is talking about January 7!

Invading Cambodia by the Vietnameses forces were bad. But the worse scenarion is illegal immigration and viet companies.

SOONER OR LATER THERE WILL BE CIVIL WAR IN CAMBODIA BETWEEN PURE KHMER AND VIETNAMESE-CAMBODIAN.

Didnt North Vietnam are the key supporter and founder of the Khmer Rouge?

Then they "invade" cambodia with 3 traitor helps.

Then after that the 3 traitor continue with this for over 30 years...at a huge cost to Cambodia.


I mean at the time of KR there still abundant natural resouces and 30 years after there nothing left for the future Khmer generator as it has been CONSUMED buy the 3 Traitors and STILL GOING....!!

So Jan 7 marked the slow death of Cambodia and cambodiab people after the invasion....
