We are as the Khmer Krom and Khmers all over the world must have the right and duty to take our lands back from the thieves.
Because the thieves can never take our land to Hell with them!
Our lands are our blood lines and deserves our protections.

For those who have fought for the interest of their country will be honered and remembered by their countrymen and women for many generation ahead. THe same for those who have betrayed their own country will be dishonored by their countrymen and women for many generation to come. They will have to pay their high price for sure. Look at Sihanouk who has been condemned to mud for his association with Khmer Rouge. His misbehavious will be offseted by his goods association from the past at all. Areak Prey

This is so sad--very sad indeed. How can the Khmer Krom become simply a minority in their own native land?? How much longer do the Khmer Krom people have to endure the Youn's relentless repression. This is so wrong! The best way is for the Khmer Krom to be well-versed of the Youn System and be of the ruling party. I mean look at the Chams and some of the other ethnic minority members. They have achieved some high level of leadership within Ah Youn System. Ethnic Chams such as Pham Van Dong and Nguyen Van Thieu were Cham people. What about that Tai ethnic dude. He is also not of the Viet kind. So the Khmer Krom must set a goal to be within their high ranking positions in order to influence the policy that affect the lives of the ordinary Khmer Krom people.

10:58, no I am not smoking or on crack at all. I got the information from the Cham website. Pham Van Dong of North Vietnam and Nguyen Van Thieu of South Vietnam were ethnic Chams. Go google on the Internet. Pham is a Vietnamized Cham name of Po. When Ah Youn Nguyen clans took over Champa, they gave two choices to the defeated Cham people. Be killed with your Cham names or survive and live long and prosper with the adoption of the Vietnamese names. The Chams naturally abandoned their native names and adopt the Nguyen as their last name. That is why Nguyen Van Thieu was a Cham. Even that Minh Triet? is of the ethnic Tai minority. Go google Nguyen Dynasty by Vo Tiem.

Here is a website that anyone can check on what is written about the ethnicity of Pham Van Dong and Nguyen Van Thieu. I don't know how authentic is the YOUN author/website, but at least give it a try. At least you will know what is their perception of the world. Knowing how our enemies think is half the battle. The more knowledge we know about them, the closer to victory is our chance. Lol.

I have questions to Khmer Krom: have you guys tried to re-union with not only Khmer Kroms, but other Khmers? For example, if there are events organized by Khmer Krom, have you sent announcements to other Khmers as well?

Now, you can find other Khmers more easily online or by joining the groups and send your announcement. I think it's good to be together, and there should be no Khmer Krom or Leu, but all Khmers who will always help each others.

Communications are very important in order to do things successfully.

Interesting quotes about the ethnicities of the leaders of Ah Youns: Check it out ---

Nông Đức Mạnh is the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV). He has held that position since 22 April 2001 and was reappointed in April 2006.
Mạnh’s official biography says that he was the son of peasants of the Tày ethnic group and that he was born on 11 September 1940 in Cường Lợi, Na Rì District, Bắc Kạn province. He has announced that he wants Vietnam to become an industrialised country by 2020.

Both late Prime Minister Pham Van Dong of communist North Vietnam and President Nguyen Van Thieu of South Vietnam came from Cham ethnic ancestry.

"That's the way it is."

These lost-identity people are very dangerous. They treat their own people as slave, but other people as superior, and they want to be among in superior, just like Khmer who became Thai prime minister in 1940s.

In the 60's and 70' I grew up near the KHMER KROM
Community and my parents told me that they were from Kampuchear Krom or Srok Youn. In 1979 When The Youn Soldiers invaded Cambodia I lived with a Khmer Krom family. Then I did not pay much attention
to those people. Now this is an internet era and I am able to get access on Khmer Krom activities around the word.I really appreciated about all the hard work.Mr. Thach Setha keeps fighting until you liberate Kampuchear Krom. Good Luck!!!

Interesting claims about Pham Van Dong being of Cham ethnicity. Many CPP leaders of today are of Cham ethnicity as well like Math Ly (deceased), Othsmann and many more.
