“...status of Vietnamese settlers in Cambodia. These settlers, numbering perhaps 300,000, had arrived from Vietnam after the 1978 invasion; they comprise ethnic Vietnamese who lived in Cambodia prior to their expulsion by the Khmer Republic or Democratic Kampuchea, and southern Vietnamese who moved into Cambodia behind the Vietnamese army, seeking economic gain.”

[Theary’s comments: nearly 200,000 Vietnamese soldiers plus 300,000 settlers in early 1979 in Cambodia; among a barely surviving population of 4-5 million Cambodians emerging from the KR hell; also hard to believe that these “ethnic Vietnamese who lived in Cambodia prior to their expulsion” returned to Cambodia in light of the years of hell Cambodia had just gone through, now for them to return it?!; also the Khmer Republic expelled, but the Khmer Rouge just killed anybody and everybody--Cambodians, Chinese, Chams, Vietnamese alike, so I don't think there were expulsion during the KR]

(Cambodia, after all, has usually been the victim, not the initiator, of aggressive activity.) Three of the obligations, however, may well impel Cambodia to adjust its foreign policy either immediately or after the installation of the elected government: to refrain from military alliances, to terminate treaties incompatible with its neutral status, and to keep foreign troops off its soil.

After the Vietnamese takeover in 1979, the PRK and Vietnam concluded a Treaty of Peace, Friendship and Cooperation, which, while conceivably on its face does not deviate from neutrality, is tantamount to a military alliance. Similarly, the two governments signed a treaty delimiting its dispute land frontier in a manner favorable to Vietnam, which may impair Cambodia's territorial integrity and inviolability. Under the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, both of these treaties should be deemed null and void ab initio [from first principles] as procured by the threat or use of force in response to the Vietnamese invasion. Although the Agreement may require Cambodia to terminate these treaties--and perhaps additional agreements with Vietnam and other former Soviet-bloc states--Cambodia need not renounce all types of political cooperation, for example future membership in ASEAN. The ban on foreign forces, requiring Cambodia to ensure the removal of any remaining Vietnamese troops and advisers, underlines a similar obligation in the Comprehensive Settlement Agreement.

** Cambodia in 1990 **

This 18 March 2018 Sunday’s message is from Mark 12:44 about the widow’s offering.

The message on screen is misleading even if unintentional on the part of the man giving the message today, a missionary who has been here since 1990: "At the end of Cambodia’s war..." meant to him, I think, the years of the Khmer Rouge, April 1975-January 1979.

The deaths caused by the KR were generally gender-neutral.

The noticeable widow population was caused by the TEN VERY, VERY DARK YEARS immediately after the KR—Vietnamese MILITARY OCCUPATION (January 1979-1989)—when the country was completely sealed off and when the Vietnamese military occupiers systematically targeted Cambodian men who just barely survived the KR only to be invisible victims to an unnamed, now forgotten GENOCIDE (intention + act) that took cover under the mass crimes of the KR and darkness of occupation and fatigue of American engagement, when Khmer men between the ages of 16-55 years were hunted down in the hundreds of thousands and trucked to the mine-infested, malaria-ridden border with Thailand to build the "bamboo wall" the whole length of the two countries’ shared border.

The missionaries came and witnessed the men-less villages after the 10 years of the military occupation of a Cambodia completely sealed off of K5 Genocide, ethnocide, and demographic Vietnamization.

The very gentle man who spoke this morning—whom I observed from afar on the sporadic occasions I see him seemed to be in constant deep emotions over Cambodia, I am assuming broken-hearted over the social ills he is witnessing regularly—he is not the only one to make this mistake.

Secular foreign journalists whose job it is to be critical and ask questions have done worse in WRITING CAMBODIA’s HISTORY by absorbing the occupier’s narrative uncritically, unquestionably. And this history has congealed into hard history that gets passed down, a "history" that is really a first draft without the rigorous process that the West associates with the writing of "history".

Moreover, it is a history that is usually one account of that particular reporting and perspective that gets repeated. And it is by a non-Cambodian, through translation, and the quality and accuracy of that translation is often in question, particularly on a sensitive issue when fear, economic or social considerations, and political correctness dictate.

...Kirivong district of Prey Veng province. In a small wooden house on the dike, a crisp Bangladeshi officer gave us an efficient briefing and revealed that after its 1978 invasion, Vietnam had arbitrarily shifted the border here some two and a half miles into Cambodia; scores of villagers had been cut out of their country. Many such border changes had been imposed by Vietnam. (p. 79)

Cambodia's Curse by Joel Brinkley

It turned out this drama had other players, too. A month after Sihanouk left Phnom Penh, a column of military troop transports and armed personnel carriers rumbled along the toad toward the capital from the east [read, Vietnam], carrying about three hundred men armed with rifles and rocket-propelled grenade launchers.... Prince Chakrapong, King Sihanouk's black-sheep son, who had slunk off to Vietnam after his secession scheme failed.
