Vietnamese Villagers Beat Cambodian Activists Inspecting Disputed Border

Several activists from Cambodia were injured when a group of villagers from Vietnam attacked them with sticks while they inspected an area of the border shared between the two countries, the head of Cambodia’s opposition party said Monday.

The violence occurred Sunday when monks and opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) lawmakers led some 200 activists to examine the border in Svay Rieng province’s Kampong Ro district, where they say a road built by authorities in Vietnam’s Long An province has encroached into Cambodian territory.
Vietnamese villagers “charged the activists with sticks,” even though they were inspecting the area from within Cambodian territory, CNRP President Sam Rainsy told reporters outside the National Assembly, or parliament, in the capital Phnom Penh.


Several of the activists, including CNRP lawmaker Riel Khemarin and a monk who had helped lead the group, were injured in the attack and had to be helped away from the scene, he said, adding that he planned to file a complaint against the Vietnamese villagers through Cambodian authorities.



“We will file a complaint at the national and international level to prevent further violence against the Cambodian people,” he said.



“The Cambodian people are innocent [in this incident]. The Cambodian government and the people must unite to make sure that foreigners stop taking advantage of us.”



The Phnom Penh Post reported that 10 Cambodians and eight Vietnamese sustained injuries of varying severity during the clash.



The Post quoted both Riel Khemarin and another CNRP lawmaker, Sam An, as saying the incident was sparked by armed Vietnamese people.



The Svay Rieng provincial government defended local authorities in a statement issued Monday, saying they should not be held responsible for failing to protect the activists, who did not inform them that they planned to visit the border.



“The authorities advised them not to examine the border, but they didn’t listen,” the statement said.



“We were concerned about violence breaking out,” it said.



Ministry of Interior spokesman Khieu Sopheak told reporters that the area were the two groups clashed is yet to be officially demarcated.



He said he is proud that the people of Cambodia want to protect their country’s sovereignty, but warned that inciting violence would make the border demarcation harder to resolve.



“I urge all people to join with the government, which is working to resolve the border issue under the leadership of [Prime Minister] Hun Sen,” he said.



“We must unite as a nation to deal with the issue, which we take very seriously.”



Recent confrontations

Sunday’s violence is the latest in a series of confrontations between Cambodia and Vietnam over the border shared by the two nations.



Earlier this month, Cambodia issued a diplomatic protest to Vietnam requesting that the communist government stop building a military post on its territory in the Koh Thom district of Kandal province until the two countries have completed their demarcation of their borders in the area.



At the time, the CNRP said it would request that the government consider allowing opposition party members to serve on the border committee that oversees border demarcation, and called for the process to be halted until after Cambodia’s 2018 national election.



The letter of protest followed a similar one sent to Vietnam’s embassy on June 12 over a border issue in Ratanakiri province, accusing Vietnamese authorities of digging five ponds in an area that had yet to be demarcated.



The letter demanded that Vietnam respect the borderline and not make any changes to border markers or allow people to carry out cross-border cultivation or settlement, according to the terms of a joint communiqué the two countries signed in January 1995.



Cambodian activists claim that Vietnamese authorities and villagers have threatened to “kill them” on several occasions while they monitored suspected encroachment in disputed areas along the border.



Many Cambodians are wary of Vietnam’s influence over their country’s affairs.



An estimated 1.7 million people, or one in four Cambodians, died in what came to be called the “Killing Fields” after the ultra-Communist Khmer Rouge took power in 1975. The regime was unseated when Vietnam invaded the country four years later.

Check this out. Khmer side has been spied on by Vietnam.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ekzenhx-_g

1. At the beginning of the clip, it shows the Khmer side was playing a banned/illegal anti-Vietnamese and racist song.

2. One minute into the clip, it shows on the far side, the Vietnamese side orderly lined up on their side of the border along the earth rampart.

3. Two and a half minutes into the clip, the leaders of the Khmer side asked the Khmer security and border troops to join them, but failed. The Khmer troops refused to join, stayed put at their post.

4. Four minutes into the clip, the Khmer side gave up talking to the Khmer troops and begun to advance toward the border.

5. Six minutes into the clip, the Khmer side begun massively surging into the Vietnamese defense line.

This is the danger of having Khmer workers or neighbors. They will make some claims then they will surge into you irregardless of your claim. To their view, Khmer view is always right. You are wrong for having a different view.

This includes raping. Khmer guys will say, "Because..., therefore..." Then they would surge on to the women to assert their rights.

P.S. I once saved a woman from a bunch of South East Asian guys. One of the guys claimed, "By tradition, a birth-day boy always gets a wish to come true." He wished to French kiss this one very attractive Asian girl.

Once she refused, he and his friends asserted his right by pressing her against the table. I intervened and asked them to stop. These Asian got very mad at me.

I asked the girl, "Miss, are you uncomfortable? Would you like them to stop?" She said yes. but these South East Asians accused her to be lying and I was trying to steal the girl from them.

We almost had a fist fight, one super Asians against inferior 8-10 South East Asian. I was raised by the German American elites and was quite big and strong. So, these puny Asian dudes dared not attack.

Oh my God, watch this vicious and huge land fight. At 1:05 minutes into the clip, a Khmer woman got shot to the side of her head!!!

There were charge, and counter charge, back and forth by both sides. There were many shots fired.... At the end of the clip, you can see one Cambodian was bleeding massively on the head, others were bleeding too.

My conclusion is Khmer would fight each other a lot more viciously. When they were confronted by the Thais or Vietnamese, Khmer would not dare to fight much. lol...owned!

CNRP is drawing the heat away from Thailand. Read this report in the Western border with the Thais.

Know this, when ever Kem Sokha or Sam Rainsy were having trouble with Cambodian government, they both ran to Thailand for support. Kem Sokha's daughter conducted interview at a 5-star hotel in Bangkok. Go figure...

Some light-skin Asians paid for some land concession. The dark-skin Khmer living on the land refused to move. The light-skin Asian owners called the Cambodian police.

Fight!

Oh my God, look at the mass charge by both sides, beating each other viciously with sticks. At 1:05 minutes one Khmer woman got shot to the side of her head. Look at her convulsing on the ground in pain. That's horrible.

Look at the bleeding injuries on both sides. It's horrible.

Khmer folks, your race is reaching the end... I suggest you to quickly improve, maybe you can survive and live on.

Khmer Yeourng

P.S. I don't have to argue with nonsense Drgunzet ( nonsense Yuon/Vietnamese poster) because it is a waste of time. It is a good enough to expose this silly Vietnamese/Youn teaser who thinks Khmer and foreign readers on the internet are gullible and have no ideas about Khmer history until this Yuon/Vietnamese poster Drgunzet and his Yuon folks take the chances to manipulate and fool those [Khmer and foreign readers]. There are some (many) articles, reports, history and stories Khmer/Cambodia and Cambodian people (after 1979) which have been (were) made up or edited on the Internet by suspicious journalists or reporters who not really Khmer/Cambodian. You can tell that those suspicious journalists or reporters are hidden Yuon/Vietnamese agents in today Cambodian CPP government led by Vietnamese puppet Hun Sen as well as Yuon/Vietnamese journalist or reporter from Hanoi (like Drgunzet). It is OK for Khmer and foreign readers onlines read the posts from Drgunzet (Yuon/Vietnamese poster), but just be careful and think carefully what this Drgunzet (Yuon/Vietnamese poster) has tried to twist and manipulate the history and story about Cambodian/Khmer people. When Drgunzet (Yuon/Vietnamese poster) mentioned Khmer people are racist and murderous (and so on), that means Drgunzet (Yuon/Vietnamese poster), Vietnamese/Yuon folks and leaders from Hanoi are murderous, racist, theives, killers, troublemakers, etc., instead. So, don't worry about Drgunzet (Yuon/Vietnamese poster). The world or international community have seen and will see the true colors of evil Yuon/Vietnamese folks like Drgunzet (Yuon/Vietnamese poster) and Hanoi leaders.
