Cambodia: THE FORCED LABOR OF ANGKAR LUE/CAP TREN 1975-1979 (4/11) [KH-EN]

April 17, of the Kampuchean communist soldiers heavily armed, quiet, often of a worrying youth, made their appearance in the suburbs of Phnom Penh, converging towards the center of the city. For the crowd which had massed in the streets to accommodate them, the Khmer Rouges seemed to come from another planet. On their side, the rebellious soldiers considered the townsmen with a sovereign contempt: they was the enemies (khmang) which one had spoken to them, capitalists (nay tun) which refused to join the revolution. Less than twenty-four hours after, all the inhabitants of Phnom Penh accepted the order to leave the city.........
At that time, the Khmer Rouges could hardly but erect scaffolding of the plans and dream with the victory. Seen Office 100, the Kampuchean revolution appeared quite remote. To start, the Kampuchean Communist Party was not armed.
Laura Summers:
The evacuation of Phnom Penh, which was roundly criticized by the rest of the world as barbaric was really justified according to the standard total academic view which she supported. As her justification, she writes By all accounts, however, universal conscription for work prevented a postwar famine, but admits that It also appears that some work groups, in lieu of other forms of re-education, are obliged to work harder and longer than others. One must wonder how she knows this, given that she has not been inside the country. Does she have a reference? No source is listed. With respect to statements from refugees and Khmer Rouge defectors sponsored by resistance groups abroad, Summers dismisses them entirely. She writes:
These public pleas for support and the public concern raised by sensational, but false, documents finally provoked the Paris Mission of Democratic Kampuchea to protest that some journalists were degrading their profession and that the French held a major share of the responsibility for allowing these activities to continue.
Some of the documents to be discredited were, for instance, several faked photographs and interviews which between 1976 and 1977 were published in newspapers from Australia to America.
Furthermore, evidence that the evacuation was planned well before April suggests that strategic advantage, not the well-being of the citizens mattered to the Khmer Rouge. Hou Youns dissertation had sufficiently maligned cities as to make them appear useless to the country. Not only was class order reversed, but city dwellers would be made to farm the land, in a complete occupational reversal.
Porter and Hildebrand conclude from this that the death march characterization was unfounded.
Finally, leaving nothing to chance, Porter and Hildebrand hold that the temporary clearing of most hospitals, far from being inhumane, was an act of mercy for the patients. They argue that the hospitals of Phnom Penh had become overcrowded and unhealthy. It was thus necessary, for the well-being of the patients, to evacuate them. And what could they expect onto the elsewhere?
Do keep in mind:
From 1945-54: The events of Khmer Issarak reclaimed Independence from the French Colonialism. They saw Bo Dois set up bases everywhere in Cambodia by taking pretext coming to die for Khmers forcing the French out. In fact, they came to instigate dividing Khmers for creating Khmer-Vietminh to achieve their gaol.
From 1970-1975: The events of 18 March 1970, the National Assembly toppled the head of State Samdech Sihanouk who allowed Vietcong infiltrating along the borders and somewhere else in Cambodia. Subsequently, the appeal through radio of the ousted Samdech Sihanouk from Peking, Yuon Hanoi came out of the jungles walking everywhere in Cambodia, hoping to destroy armies of Khmer Republic through Samdech Sihanouks cry. Bo Dois had opportunity to destroy the Khmer nationalist armies by taking ploy that coming to help Samdech Euv. In fact, its their good opportunity to destroy Khmers, too (Hot War), and had chance to strengthen the group of Yuon Heads-Khmer Bodies were Khmer-Vietminh (Cold War) to masquerade as the Khmer Rouge forever. Therefore, Victory of 17 April 1975, there would be a masquerade; artifice in destroying Khmers from Yuon Hanoi is true.
Mr Kim Nguon Trach added: Look, brothers, since 1976, we havent seen members of Khieu Samphans Khmer Rouge. But, instead, seeing clearly the group of Yuon heads-Khmer Bodies of Khmer-Vietminh came out, who Angkar Leu/Cap Tren already appointed as the chiefs of Cooperatives, as Committees of Region/Damban, as the representatives. As we already have seen with our own eyes, Ta Pet, Ta Kau, Mit Kuet, Mit Lok (Yuon nationals) Mit Li (Yuon National), Mit Ley (Yuon national) and so on.
To the persons under their command are the bandits who Angkar Leu/Cap Tren invented to as the Khmer Rouge who are so brutal worse than brutal.

The Khmer Rouge was Cambodia's attempt at Cambodian independence, but also Communism. After coming into power, shortly after the Fall of Phnom Penh (in 1975), Pol Pot ordered the evacuation of all urban areas including Phnom Penh, etc, put all the citizens in re-education camps, sent them to these very rural areas, and turned them all into farmers. This was called Year Zero. What the Khmer Rouge is most commonly known for is the genocide against their own peoples, usually in the form of torture (beating, etc) if any of the peoples failed to comply. The most commonly known detention center was S-21, a former highschool which was then turned into a detention center where the majority of beatings happened. Only about 12-179[1] people survived S-21, over the 18,000 known inmates. It was brutal. Luckily this all ended in 1979 when Phnom Penh was officially taken over by the People's Army of Vietnam, which is when the terrible things stopped. The Khmer Rouge lasted as an insurgency between 1979 to 2000. citations: 1. This depends completely on source. (This entire writing was mostly cited from Wikipedia, so it may not all be accurate.) extra: 1. The recurring meme of Pol Pot killing people who wore glasses is actually true. Most of these deaths resulted from a policy called Moha Lout Plaoh, which was supposed to be an imitation of China's Great Leap Forward (which also caused ~10,000,000 deaths due to famine). Cambodia had yes, basically tried to rid the country of anybody intellectual, and to them glasses were a sign of being an intellectual. Weird part about this is that there are many images of Pol Pot himself wearing glasses, though this isn't surprising considering he was pretty hypocritical. 2. Pol Pot was never tried for any genocide, only placed under house arrest by the Khmer Rouge, because he killed one of his officials (Son Sen) and his family, which concerned Ta Mok that Pol Pot might turn on him as well, so Ta Mok rallied troops, informed them that Pol Pot had betrayed their movement, and placed him under house arrest, where he later died in his home from natural causes in 1998, aged 72. There is a final interview available with English captions, sometime in the 90s, with Pol Pot. 3. The meme that often associates the song "Look at The Owl" with the Khmer Rouge is actually not true. There is a false video which portrays the song having false lyrics about Pol Pot, the Khmer Rouge, Mao Zedong, etc. The original song itself was made long before the Khmer Rouge. The most recognized version is by Sinn Sisamouth, who died in 1976 during the Khmer Rouge's regime, though it is unclear if this death was related to the Khmer Rouge. (Yes, this was written entirely by me, so *NOT EVERYTHING MAY BE 100% ACCURATE.* If you want more accurate details, search the Khmer Rouge or Pol Pot up for yourself.)
