Khmer Rouge brutality and Vietnam invasion in Cambodia is two different things

April 17, 1975 recognized as the day of Khmer Rouge victory who can seize the capital city of Phnom Penh and began evict Khmer citizens to country side to work in the farms. We can see that SRP held a ritual to commemorate this day to remember and pray for those who were brutalized in latter 3 years under KR regime. But what is our doubt is that CPP who has always stood to oppose the brutality of KR has never commemorated this April 17 day. We are younger Khmer generation really want to know, why CPP commemorate January 7 the day of decline of KR instead of the victory of KR? As everybody knows, January 7 is the day that Khmers were both happy with the escaping from brutality and fell into another aggressive expansionism. The United Nations under the major voices of its members called for Vietnam to withdraw its troops from Cambodia and Vietnam's act is the INVASION.

Regarding to the illegal Vietnamese immigrants, it is absolutely stupid to suggest our government to stop or to repatriate them back. All procedures are solely depending on the Cambodian immigration law. You should not be so fool saying something explicitly obscure. One important thing, Cambodian government has to implement the current Cambodian immigrant law that has already well inscribed in the paper, but significantly government has never implemented it correctly.

Law is the most important thing for any nation to cope and legitimize their nation-state. Vietname has been known as the invader of Cambodia, essentially referring to the international law adopted by the UN which represented by major members around globe....so it is
correctly for all Cambodians to say in the same voice that "Vietnam had surely invaded Cambodia in January 7, 1979". If someone else saying different from this, it is because of their PTSD, less educated, fear, politically-affiliated, and situational
incomprehension etc

Everyone knows, Vietnam has stopped the brutality of Khmer Rouge, but it is thoughtful for us that why Vietnam primarily exposed themselves as the big brother of Khmer Rouge to combat with America and they shared the same political blog (communism) backed by China and Russia.
Is it possible that Vietnam played the political game of burning our house and rescued us later as it is almost become ashes. Explicitly and implicitly, Vietnam has to take responsibility of Cambodian brutality. Vietnam should not manipulate us by identifying their goodness only. But may be not Vietnam who manipulate us, it might be our same race Cambodians (not everybody, only small group of Cambodians) who manipulate us that Vietnam is rescuer with their
volunteering soldiers.

However, Khmer Rouge and Vietnam's intervention in January 7, 1979 is one of the complicate issues as the Khmer Rouge trial is continuing. We, Khmers bear the vision that Khmer Rouge brutality and Vietnam's intervention is two different things that we should not mix together.
Khmer Rouge's regime is too much brutal, and Vietnam's intervention in Cambodia is too much invasive. For the Khmer Rouge, Cambodia learn the best lesson of history not to allow it happens again; for the Vietnam's intervention, Cambodia has learned the sensitive history of foreign occupation and colonization that Cambodia like other nation-state love their own autonomy, independence, sovereignty, and territory integrity.

The most important things for Cambodians is to look forward, look ahead, project nation-interests, project long-sighted political vision, and bolster the Cambodian resilience for our younger generation and sustainability.
