ECCC in Cambodia?

Who really have been behind this ECCC in Cambdodia?

ECCC in Cambdodia has been belong to Uncle Ho and Uncle Sam.

Uncle Ho and Uncle Sam who have been behind this ECCC in Cambdodia have cutting and editing real Khmer historty.

This ECCC in Cambodia is Hanoi-US ECCC to cover up their own Genocide and war crimes as follow:

- Indochina Federation to swallow and exterminate Cabmdoian ethnics.

- Yuon Hanoi K 5 plan in Cambdina during 1980s.

- US B 52 carpet bombing in 1960s-1973 ( 200 days and 200 nights whic killed so many Cambodian and left mass atrocities of war .

All these Genocide and war crimes took place in Cambodia before 1975 and after 1979 that why this Hanoi and US ECCC in Cambodia not allowed Noun Chea and Khieu Samphan to talk what has happened before 1975 and after 1979 to cover up their genocide and war crimes in Cambdodia before 1975 and after 1979.

So Uncle Ho and Uncle Sam have gain from this ECCC.

Cash crisis is an excuse. The root of the problem is dragging on and on look at Cases 003 and 004 as Hun Sen said those who want to go ahead with Cases 003 and 004 must pack up their belongings and leave Cambodia.

Why Hun Sen and Hanoi opposed strongly to Cases 003 and 004 ?
