Cambodia: POL POT PROTECTS VIETNAMESE FROM MASSACRE (2/2) FR
That Canadian ambassador was perhaps enjoying himself with his family in Canada while Vietnamese boat people going home in soldiers of Pol Pot. How does he know all massacres of Yuon citizens living in Cambodia standing at 100% being committed by the Khmer Rouge? Related to the preoccupation with Khmer-ness was the intense loathing of Vietnam. The KR pushed Cambodia's historical antipathy toward Vietnam to its worst extreme. KR units started attacking NVA units in the early 1970s, and some of the first Cambodians to perish in the revolution were returning KR cadres who had been exiled in Hanoi. Later, DK provoked Vietnam into a bizarre border war by massacring border villages, claiming several islands, and urging each Cambodian to kill 30 Vietnamese. The purges also had an anti-Vietnamese element - Kiernan contends that the entire Eastern Zone of Cambodia, bordering on Vietnam, and tending to somewhat more liberal control than other areas, was purged starting in 1977, because the central government identified it with Vietnamese influence. Eastern Zone people were marked with blue scarves and sent to work camps and torture centers in other regions. In all, Kiernan estimates that over 250,000 people, accused of having "Khmer bodies with Vietnamese minds" died in this region in the 1977 and 1978 purges. Kiernan's breakdown of the differential death tolls is revealing. Overall, he estimates that the death toll under Democratic Kampuchea from 1975-1979 was 21% (about 1.5 million) of a population of 7.9 million. The death toll for Vietnamese inhabitants stands at 100%, while the death toll for the Chinese was 50%, the Chains 36%, and Lao 40%. For those defined as 'new people,' the total death toll was about 29%, while for all 'base people' it was 16%, and for rural Khmers l5%. And one estimate indicates that as many as 400,000 people may have died in the Eastern Zone, a death toll of 27%. Plainly, those who fit the allowed definition of Khmer, the Khmer-speaking base people of rural origin, suffered somewhat less than members of minorities or groups tainted by 'foreign influence' (Eastern Zoners and 'new people'), who bore the brunt of the regime's cruelty. The anti-Vietnamese fixation was one of the major features of the Khmer Rouge's fanatical nationalism. Minorities and the 'contaminated' Eastern Zone inhabitants endured the worst effects of the regime. Purges against the Vietnamese in the Khmer Rouge zones began as far back as 1969, according to Kiernan. In 1975, the revolutionary government ordered all Vietnamese to leave the country. 150,000 were rounded up and left, but about 10,000, most of whom had Khmer spouses, remained. All 10,000 were eventually killed. Tellingly, among the stated goals of the revolutionary assembly held in 1975 were the expulsion of all Vietnamese and the dispatch of troops to the borders, both of which were soon completed. As above-mentioned, but Ben Kiernan can't tell us Khmer victims exactly why about 10,000, most of whom had Khmer spouses, remained. All 10,000 were eventually killed? To my foreign readers and my Khmer compatriots about Yuon leaders' super-dirty demonic tricks are that from the past until today Yuon leaders are be able to distinguish between Khmer and Yuon race. Yuon leaders, known as "Vietcong and Vietminh", who secretly sorted out Yuon citizens into Yuon camps nearly everywhere in Cambodia because Angkar Leu/Cap Tren Yuon whispered to its Yuon citizens to stay quietly in their camps for an order from its master of Angkar Leur/Cap Tren Yuon. When all Khmer Krom and Khmer Kandal spouses who were real Khmers so Angkar Leur/Cap Tren Yuon had to brutally separate them from their Yuon spouses. Why? Because Angkar Leu/Cap Tren Yuon wanted to keep Yuon spouses who have Yuon-Khmer blood children, who were escorted by Vietcong/Bo Dois to Srok Yuon happily, freely, safely and secretly, were terribly misled that all their Khmer parents who were brutally killed by the Khmer Rouge soldiers being married to their Yuon parents. So what happens to Yuon-Khmer blood children when they grow up? They take revenge against not only the Khmer Rouge but all Cambodian people.
