Villagers living in Andong Meas district of Rattanakiri province said that the Vietnamese authority had crossed the border to come to their village and forbade them from building their houses in their village where they have settled for a long time, reports Radio Free Asia.
Mr. Sol Yam, living in Ta Nga Khum Nhang, said the Vietnamese authority always forbid Khmer villagers from building any buildings in the village because they said that the village is located in a disputed zone. However, the villagers said that the Vietnamese authority are constructing roads in the areas and no Khmer authority came to forbid them.
Mr. Sol Yam said: "The villagers knew that the Vietnamese authority will take half of the village and we are concerned that we will have nowhere to go to because presently all lands have been fully settled by the people. The District Authority did not care about us and they never help us resolve this issues (with the Vietnamese authority)."
Ms. Soy Ny, head of group 2 of Ta Nga Khum Nhang, said that villagers face hardship because the area has not been fully demarcated yet. She said: "The villagers had a dispute with the Vietnamese a long time ago, but they cannot do anything with the Vietnamese authority. They (the Vietnamese authority) buldozed the lands, cutting the village in half for more than two years already."
A Khmer border officer who spoke on condition of anonymity said that the Khmer-Vieetnamese borderlines are located 2 kilometre from this village and the village had been settled by Khmer villagers since the Khmer Rouge regime (in the 1970s). But in 2005, the Vietnamese authority came to buldoze 200 metres deep inside the village, cutting it in half.
A provincial official said that the area had been demarcated in 2008, but both sides had not planted border markers on the ground yet.
Up until now, the Cambodian and Vietnamese authority had planted 38 border markers along the Laotion-Khmer-Vietnamese border triangle.

It is sad that Cambodia could be shrunk in this way- robbed by our neighbors because our present leaders don't care about our borders.
