geovalin Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 January 7, 2021 marks the 42nd anniversary of the fall of the Khmer Rouge regime after its reign of terror that had extended for three years, eight months and 20 days. Khmer Times journalist Moeun Chhean Nariddh talked to government officials and scholars about the legacy the victory has left for Cambodia and Cambodians. You saved a life and you are responsible for that life,” says an ancient Chinese proverb. Some 42 years ago, the Kampuchean Revolutionary Army, backed by the Vietnamese troops, launched a full-scale attack on the Khmer Rouge Army to save the lives of millions of Cambodians who were facing death at the hands of the Khmer Rouge regime. Government officials and scholars have looked back and expressed mixed views about how well – or difficult – Cambodian people have lived their lives after they were saved from Pol Pot’s henchmen. Sok Eysan, spokesman for the Cambodian People’s Party, said the current Cambodian government which has evolved from the Kampuchean Revolutionary Army had made a tremendous sacrifice to help Cambodian people. read more https://www.khmertimeskh.com/50801284/january-7-victory-42-years-later-conflicting-views-continue/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanuman2547 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 The Cambodians are lucky that the Vietnamese came to their aid and stopped the Khmer Rouge from killing even more of their own people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
