Villagers in Rattanakiri protested against a Vietnamese company for grabbing their lands

Hundreds of villagers from Lumchor commune in O'Yadao district of Rattanakiri province claimed a Vietnamese company is continuing to bulldoze their lands and intransigently refusing to pay any compensation to them, reports Radio Free Asia.

Villagers said as of 25th March, the Vietnamese mining company named Hang An Rattanakiri, has used heavy machinery to bulldoze their rice fields and vegetable gardens without paying any compensation for the damges to their lands and crops.

The villagers claimed that Hang An Rattanakiri had used 4 bulldozers and 10 Vietnamese workers to bulldoze their lands since the beginning of January. On 14th January, 50 villagers had chased them out from the village and confiscated the company's machinery, but it returned later.

Villagers said the company's machinery had been actively digging and bulldozing their vegetable gardens and rice fields up until today. "They dig in the vegetable farms and in the forests. They dig illegally even in the forests and they have dug 6 metres deep inside the ground and all the lands have been destroyed", said a villager.

Mr. Sev Thven, chief of Lumchor commune, said Hang An Rattanakiri, had received a mining licence from the Ministry of Mining and Energy to explore for minierals in O'Yadoa from 2010 to 2011.

Hem Vanthorn, director of Office of Mining in Rattanakiri, said any companies that receive permits from the Ministry of Mining and Energy have every right to conduct their explorations on the concessions granted to them. However, he said the companies must consult the villagers if their lands have been impacted.

A week ago, hundreds of villagers in Kampong Speu rose up, rioted and burned down offices of a Sugar Firm owned by Senator Ly Yong Phat, a senator from the ruling Cambodian People's Party, they accused of grabbing their lands.

    Vietnam investment in Cambodia does not Khmer people as much. Becoz in terns of jobs they bring workers from Vietnam. That's why there is working visa agreement with cambo gov.

    The Khmers lose land to farm to build house kids. The corrupt Khmer officials get richer for grabbing land and resell to vietno business.

    Vietnamization of camb could be made possible via globalisatio theory or community zone. Just an update on colonization and indonechina friengship.

    It is sad that corrupt Cambodian officials took Khmer people's lands to give to foreigners. Hun sen has said that he is trying to alleviate and eliminate poverty, but to steal lands from the poor Khmers to give to the Viet will make Khmers more poorer. To a certain extent, Hun Sen is a traitor.

    In Aust, no one is allowed to do anything to a private property unless it is legal to do so. In this case khmer gov't needs to talk to Viet PM in regarding to this issue or otherwise a statement should be issued from KHmer PM to what are the agreement between Viets and Khmer secretly. Aust

    Cambodian is in the state of chaos! First Compong Speu riot, now O'yadao district? What's next? This is like a never ending story, isn't it? In my opinion, the reasons PM Hun Sen and his clans are selling land to these foreigners, because he knows that he won't win the 2013 election. Therefore, he and his clan continue to grab whatever they can. Listen folks, they only have 3 years! If my prediction turns out to be truth, then these poor people will continue to suffer, unless, all Cambodian citizens stand up and confront the government together.

    Good Luck!

    Stand up for our land from Hun Sen's corrupted government.

    Let's stand and fight this war altogether. Kampong villagers are good example. if we can fire Hun Sen's alliance's property, Let's do it.
