Commemorating 60th Anniversary, The Loss of Southern Cambodia Territory to Vietnam

 

CambodialostterritorytoVietnam_thumb  June 4th marks the 60th Anniversary of Cambodia’s loss territory to Vietnam. The French illegally transferred southern Cambodia (Kampuchea Krom) to north Vietnam. Since 1949 -for fifty nine years – –, many southern Cambodian (Khmer Krom/Kampuchea Krom) have been living in the darkness, suffering, torturing, ethnic cleansing, disease, human right abuse, genocide…under Vietnamese regime. Cambodian were forced to be Vietnamese, speak, dress, and obey their rules.  The communist’s media, billboard signs sending fatherly-like message to Kampuchea Krom that Vietnam is one. Play all tricks and lies by all means and erasing the original Cambodian history books and rewritten in Vietnamese text books that southern Cambodia did not exist and that southern Cambodian (Kampuchea Krom) are the Vietnamese "ethnic minority." Cambodian land, street, building, signs that were written in Khmer language were torn and replaced in Vietnamese language and mostly in red and yellow colors. June 4th, 1949, Cambodian southern territory was stolen and became "south" Vietnam. North and south Vietnam joined. Dark history for Cambodia.

Today, "Khmer Krom communities around the world are currently heading to their local temples to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of loss of Kampuchea-Krom to Vietnam. The rich fertile land of the Mekong Delta was transferred to Vietnam by France on 4th June 1949 without the consent of the indigenous Khmer Krom people.

Burden with a heavy hearts and great sadness, this day remains a significant event for the Khmer Krom people. Heroes and nationalists as well as Khmer Krom Buddhist monks are remembered for their bravery and sacrifice to help keep the Khmer culture alive despite Vietnam’s numerous and continuous attempts to implement cultural genocide against the Khmer Krom.

In Kampuchea-Krom such an event remains severely prohibited by the communist Vietnam government."

    Dear Khmer Empire,
    Thank you for sharing a very beautiful poem with us. Such encouragement!
    Very true about your philosophy. There’s a say one can lie but cannot hide. The truth will come out one day.

    Too much LIE, too much HIDE and RICH against the POOR.

    we tell they kill
    we good they rude
    we cool they fool
    we sleep they peep
    we talk they stalk
    we try they spy
    we slip they clip
    we jail they bail
    we pain they gain
    we stay they play
    we kind they whine
    we sell they steal
    we poor they pour
    we sit they spit
    we realize they deny
    we shout they shoot
    we plan they clan
    we run they hunt
    we hunger they hunter
    we read they threat
    we care they here
    we lonely they homey
    we around they surround
    we eager they never
    we cheat they beat
    we can’t they can
    we stay they spray
    we beg they relax
    we nowhere they somewhere
    we separate they coporate
    we mate they hate
    we made they ate
    we one they ton
    we keep they sneak
    we disable they able
    we feel they heal
    we sad they bad
    we hungry they angry
    we blame they claim
    we moto they auto
    we drive they ride
    we demand they command
    we complete they delete
    we wear they tear
    we sick they kick
    we announce they denounce
    we depress they congress
    we arm they harm
    we fear they near
    we save they crave
    we decrease they increase
    we confront they proble
    we recognize they deny
    we repect they regret
    we frown they crown
    we interrupt they corrupt

    Let’s all STAND UP, SPEAK UP, and SHOUT IT OUT.

    I really like your poem. This is true what has been happening to Cambodia.

  • Ignorant people as for instance Cambodian leaders never know their own ignorance.
