An opposition politician fingered Vietnam and China as veritable puppet masters of the Khmer Rouge yesterday, the 37th anniversary of the day the murderous regime seized power and began forcibly evacuating Phnom Penh.

Speaking at a memorial ceremony held at the Choeung Ek killing fields, acting Sam Rainsy Party president Kong Korm claimed that Vietnam and China sought dominance over Cambodia through opposing factions in the Khmer Rouge.

Khmer Rouge is just a small ember. China and Vietnam are a big fire burning brightly. One Khmer Rouge [faction] is in China’s control and another Khmer Rouge is in Vietnam’s control,” Kong Korm alleged.


Eponymous party president Sam Rainsy spoke via video conference from Canada, asking the Khmer Rouge tribunal to summon and convict political leaders including, Senate President Chea Sim and Prime Minister Hun Sen, for their alleged involvement in the genocide.

Hun Sen, Chea Sim and National Assembly Chairman Heng Samrin were among former Khmer Rouge cadre who abandoned the regime before its fall, seeking refuge in Vietnam, where they helped found the Kampuchean United Front for National Salvation, which swept to power with the 1979 Vietnamese invasion.

Documentation Center of Cambodia researcher Ly Sokkheang said Vietnam had good relations with the Khmer Rouge at the start of the regime, but these had soured as the regime launched military attacks on provinces along the Vietnamese border.

Cheam Yeap, senior lawmaker for the ruling Cambodian People’s Party, dismissed the allegations.

“This is a complete twist, [an] exaggeration. I am a Khmer child, a Buddhist, we have seen that [Vietnam] came to chase out Pol Pot’s group,” he said.

Present political leaders should not be summoned by the tribunal, because its objective was to convict top Khmer Rouge leaders, and they were only rank and file, he added.

A Chinese Embassy spokesman declined to comment on the allegations, saying the Khmer Rouge trial was an internal affair of Cambodia.

To 03:39am

Khmers can now :
1. Vote for SRP, the largest and strongest
opposition party
2. Help supporting the efforts of bringing
the two top CPP leaders to be tried by
the International Court
3. If necessary, support or Joint a National
Movement to liberate OUR country.

Our country is being occupied by Yuon.
It is a BENIGN OCCUPATION !!!

I know it's a bitter pill to swallow but it is time to accept and deal with the fact that during the Pol Pot years Cambodians did kill other Cambodians. By just blaming "the others" you make it very easy for yourself but the main problem remains, that Cambodians killed Cambodians(and Vietnamese,barangs and so on). To me it seems that Cambodians living in Cambodia has easier to accept this then those that escaped and now live abroad. This is not all said to criticize those that fled. So the question is how to deal with all this and turn Cambodia in to the peaceful and prosperous country it deserves. In the world today you must live in peace and work with your neighbors,hate and racism will lead nowhere.

I haven't heard anyone or a single body of CPP Clanmen accept or willing to admit the wrongdoing. All these spokepersons, or communication ministers are ALL SINISTERS. CPP members/supporters ALWAYS masked behind a fake or pseudo-patriotism.

THE CURRENT RULING REGIME IS ALWAYS PAINTED THEMSELVES AS A SAVIOR TO ALL KHMERS. This is all shit. Since the KRT began, the SHIT hit the fan. CPP HAVE TRAINED OR ORDERS THE CURRENT RANKING OFFICIALS TO DENIED, DENIED, AND DENIED TO ALL CHARGES. AND DISCREDIT ALL CLAIMED AND INTERFAIR TO CREATE CHAOS IN THE KRT.

The goal of the CPP: Cover up, Prevent, Prosecution by International communities.

I was in the concentration camp during the KR regime. The Vietnamese made Khmers think that we were save by them; in reality it was Annexation. The Chinese supplied Weaponery by exchanging the raw material that were produced by the Khmers. We all knew about the goods/services exchanged.

Most folks during the KR regime STARVED to death, while the officials lived elaborate life. The SRP made a good call. It's not exaggerate.

ALL CURRENT OFFICIALS THAT ARE TIED TO KR - HAD BLOOD IN THEIR HANDS. STEP UP TO THE PLATE, AND ADMIT TO THE CRIMES.

THAT'S WHAT KHMERS WITH CONSCIENCE WOULD DO. LIFE FOR LIFE, HAND FOR HAND, AND RAPE SOMEONE YOU'LL LOSE IT TO SCAPEL!

Let's be real about this folk! Of course the Chinese did provide weapons and supplies to Khmer Rouge through out its existence, and the Yuon did go hand in hand with Khmer Rouge before Yuon split with China. However, Pol Pot & companies are not under 18, they are responsible for their action towards their fellow Khmers, including tortures, mass murders, and total destruction to Cambodian society to serve Pol Pot's New Beginning.

For the sake of argument, let just pretend that the dilusional blame is true that China & Vietnam pressured Pol Pot into killing Khmers, Chinese-Cambodians and Vietnamese-Cambodians in Cambodia at that time, what was going through the Khmer Rouge's mind when they were killing or torturing their own Khmer children, women and the educated.

China and Vietnam influenced Laos as well, but there was no killing field there.

1:50 AM. I agree. So lets put Sihanouk in witness stance and testify to the world and let the world know what really happened.

If Sihanouk and the current Vietminh leaders are nto guilty, lets share it with the world and sit as witness in KRT.

Only criminals and suspect with blood on their hands will hide like a rat, agree?

So is Ah Kwak Hun Sen, Chea Sim and Heng Samrin are all Khmer saviour or are they the real Khmer killers?

What about the thousands of Khmer dying in k5 planning, was it really the Khmer Rouge killing Khmer again?

Why are CPP dogs always denying everything?

6:36 AM K5 planning.

The Vietnamese concentrated on consolidating their gains through the K5 Plan, an extravagant and labor-intensive attempt to seal guerrilla infiltration routes into the country by means of trenches, wire fences, and minefields along virtually the entire Thai-Cambodian border.[3] The K5 border defence project, designed by Vietnamese general Le Duc Anh, commander of the Vietnamese forces in Cambodia, irritated Cambodian farmers and ended up being psychologically counterproductive for the PRK.[37] Large swathes of formerly inaccessible tropical forests were destroyed, leaving a negative ecological legacy.

Fuck all the Khmer Rouge sympathizers. No fucking excuses for Pol Pot & company. They killed their Khmer people, they face justice. Khmer Rouge is a fucking disgrace to human kind, and anyone who tries to defend them is a worthless piece of shit. Because of them, my family is a portion of what we used to be. Fuck stupid Khmer Rouge, so stupid!
