i know it's not common in cambodia but i heard, read, and watched how some cambodians could be cannibalistic. back in the 7th grade, my teacher who's cambodian told us a story of how khmer rouge soldiers cut open pregnant women's stomach and pull out the fetus. they then fry it and eat it. i also read a book on khmer rouge and some poetries written by khmer rouge soldiers. i remember this line in a poem that said "A man's liver is another man's meal." i watched the documentary on the war between vietnam and cambodia. Lon Nol soldiers would cut open the chests of viet cong soldiers and then take their livers out and eat it. they thought it would give them strength after they eat their enemy's organs. that's all i know..
i remember one more... a group of cambodians were against the govt. in kompong cham back in the 60's and they killed a govt. official. they took his heart out and they later grilled it on the front market. this story was told by a french official in cambodia.
When the French invaded Cambodia, they turned east Cambodia into a Vietcong territory and wrote a wrong book about Cambodia, when the Vietcong invaded Cambodia, they painted Cambodia with blood and changed all of our textbook into their theories to the the VIET WAY. They have changed the image of Cambodia.
Facts about Khmer rouge:
1)Vietcong Rouge
2)Soviet Rouge
3)Cambodian-Chinese rouge
4)The American rouge
A brief history of Cambodia why VIETNAM has been the most aggressive nation on Cambodia. Back then when the FRENCH illegally gave lower Cambodia(now SouthViet) to Vietnam in 1949, Cambodia has been the victims Vietnamese Colonization. Laos also has been one of the victims. Vietnam have been trying to turn Laos and Cambodia into Indochina. The Vietcong government started to send their Budoi(soldiers) or secret police to Cambodia and Laos. These police have been hiding in every part of Cambodia and Laos provinces and government. Even still today, we still have the Vietcong installed government. Since the installment, Cambodia became the center of the holocust. This government commit so much crime on Cambodian people. THIS IS THE VIET ROUGE in Cambodia.
Former Soviet, have been the main donor to Vietnam. Most of weapons that Vietnam used in Cambodia were/are from Soviet.
The Cambodian-Chinese rouge. China in a long history have been Cambodia closest ally. Perhaps you can say second family. The Chinese was oppose to the Vietnam domination in Cambodia. The Chinese government decided to aid Cambodia to protect against the enemies. The Cambodia rouge are the nationalist who strive to stand for their country. THis group also protect the Cambodian people.
In all group, Vietcong-Soviet, committed the most atrocious crime in Cambodian history. In lower Cambodia (now southern viet), millions of Khmer krom were killed, robbed, rape, cut open, boiled. In midland Cambodia, the Budoi(secret viet police) created the killing field.
The American carpeted bombing during Vietnam killed thousands of Cambodian as well.
AS I mention above, during many years invasion, our textbooks were compiled and rewrote by most Vietcong elites and Thai. Many of the Cambodian young generation study those sources blame on Cambodian for killing. Thanks for the advance technology, the Cambodian survivors of the brutal holocust will display the evidence on Internet.
Please stop the crime against innocents. Stop the VIET EXPANSIONISM!
