Khmer Circle: 

Expressing any opinion, concern regarding such "sensitive" matters as border encroachments/demarcation and influx of Vietnamese settlers tend to land one in all kind of stress and bother, and not only from the Cambodian authorities who keep their close watch on social media posts and activities. It's not entirely inconceivable that this young Cambodian Face book user's post expressing her fear regarding the said illegal settlers could be carefully recorded by someone/group working as a third party but aligned to the authorities and who would likely blame her remark for being the cause for or "incitement" factor behind any accident or injury caused to ethnic Vietnamese living in the country.

Some rights groups, journalists and even the UN Rapporteurs have fed on this kind of alleged link between a person's perceived "anti-Vietnamese" speech/rhetoric and the said violence, and all of this inflamed tension has generally been blamed on opposition politicians seeking to exploit ethnic-racial fears for their own political agenda?

As has been pointed out previously, however, whereas the so-called "inciters" of such inter-ethnic violence have rarely escaped the authorities' attention and punishment, the actual persons or culprits responsible for the alleged harm reportedly done to those ethnic Vietnamese nationals have never been concretely identified by these authorities or provided any concrete proof for the link between the reported "inflammatory" speech/rhetoric and the alleged violence caused to the alleged victims? In sharp contrast, there have been numerous instances where ethnic Khmers/Cambodians have been arrested, imprisoned, attacked, maimed and even killed for their perceived offences against the regime, including speaking out against the seemingly unrestricted inflow of Vietnamese nationals into their country; a country that has in recent memory experienced more than its fair share of painful loss of having been territorially and demographically amputated through a not dissimiliar process of settler inundation in its territory.
