Cambodian students Protest at Vietnam Embassy

[aliaselin]

About 100 Cambodian students clashed briefly with police Tuesday while protesting remarks made by a Vietnamese embassy official on the issue of Cambodian land lost to Hanoi.

The protesters, from the Cambodian Students and Intellectuals movement, gathered outside the Vietnamese embassy in Phnom Penh Tuesday. No one was seriously injured in the scuffle with police, who tried to end what city officials called an illegal assembly.

The student anger stems from reports in which a Vietnamese embassy spokesman, Tran Van Thong, is quoted as saying the Mekong River Delta had not belonged to Cambodia in the past.

That portion of Vietnam today was once called Lower Cambodia, or Kampuchea Krom, and was partitioned to Vietnam by the French when they withdrew from their colonization of Indochina. It is a nationalistic flashpoint for many Cambodians.

Mao Pises, head of the Cambodian student group, says the Vietnamese spokesman does not know the facts of the area.

“Tran Van Thong must publicly apologize for his misunderstanding on the history of Kampuchea Krom, which is now part of southern Vietnam.”

Unfortunate for those students, there are official papers signed by VN, Thailand and Cambodia about territories in 1845, in which it was based on to define the mordern border. They are just a bunch of ultra nationalists who can't change history.

Excuse me? VN shed blood many times to fight for Khmer. If it wasn't for VN, Cambodia would be a part of Thailand now, as the former Imperial Thai Empire could have conquered Cambodia easily.

You know how shameless words you do? Who does not know that Vietnam had annex Cambodia, and Laos ambitions. Your so-called "help" is just a shameless excuse to satisfy your own ambitions only.
Just like the Japanese in World War II says he is not aggression, is to prevent the Asia to be American‘s colonies

Cambodia reclaim lands lost to VN not during the 1978-1991 war, but the whole South Vietnam. You know how crazy that is. It's like China reclaim Siberia or Russia reclaim Alaska.

And how am I shameless? China used to "help" VN build roads, then later use them to transport tanks and troops when fighting Vietnam. Hidden caches of Chinese weapons were scattered around the construction sites so Chinese troops could resupply right on the battlefield.

Khmer Rogue provoked first, we just followed. And last time I check, Laos is still independent.

Cambodian need not admit any unfair treaty during colonist times, especially to the country with low credit like Vietnam

Tell Mr. Hun Sen to join the protest too

Hun Sen can not suppress the patriots forever
