The Future of Cambodia . . .

Cambodians SOS US President for intervention in their campaign against rights abuses and violence committed by the Hun Sen regime currently hosting regional and world leaders summits in Cambodia's capital Phnom Penh. The Cambodian PM - dubbed "Strongman of Cambodia" - is seen teary eyed before the world's gathering media as he expresses his pride his small country has in being able to stage these historic events, but thousands of his little countrymen are being forced off their lands and running out of tears to shed for their plights under his three decades long rule - School of Vice [image credit: demotix.com]

“The process [‘Nam Tien’ or Vietnamese southward expansion] was well defined by Léopold Cadière in 1911: “As soon as they feel themselves able, they drive off the first inhabitants, whether in a peaceful manner, by taking over the land, clearing it and “planting the bamboo” – the hedges that to this day still surround Annamese gardens and villages – or by violence, then they fight with the Chams, destroying their temples and mutilating their statues.” In short, there was no room left for the Chams.”
