This is amazing, a former prime minister of Cambodia actually speaking the truth about Youn ambition. I have to give Pen Savan a lot of credit for his bravery. He is trying to wake up all Khmer. Can we all hear that? So a lot of accusations or speculations of Youn doing this or doing that, after January 7, 1979 to take control of Cambodia and ultimately annex Cambodia as part of a larger Vietnam, were true. This is the most credible truth ever reveil to the public by someone who used to be incharge of Cambodia. Hanoi is going to flip out over this. I'm not so surprise on what he said about Youn. I know Youn always want Cambodia every chance they get. So this is a proven facts that Vietnam is and will always up to no good with Cambodia.
Now I begin realize that if it hadn't been Vietnam war and Viet Cong, there wouldn't be Khmer Rouge and the Killing Field. I have the feeling that Hanoi was behind this mastermind. Remember, Viet Cong and Khmer Rouge were the best of friends. Viet Cong assisted Khmer Rouge in fighting Lon Nol's troops. After April 17, 1975, Khmer Rouge revealed their true faces. After several years of killings, Khmer Rouge became an enemy of Hanoi. Appearantly, Khmer Rouge was no longer become useful and need to be eliminated and this is where Hen Samrin, Chea Sin, and Hun Sen stepped in. They were a group of Khmer Rouge soldiers opening doors for Hanoi's troops to come to liberate Cambodia. So, Khmer Rouge was a tool used by Hanoi to killed off Khmer population for a later invasion, which was on January 7,1979. Holy shit....
From what I read, heard from Pen Sovan himself and what he said here, it seems he is a real Khmer patriot. He was jailed in 1981 because he dare to stand up to Vietnam. He opposed Vietnam's policy of trying to eradicate Khmer culture and swallow Khmer land. The one who arrested Pen Sovan in 1981 was no one other than Hun Sen. Back in 1997, I remember Pen Sovan said Hun Sen led a group of soldier to surround his house in 1981, arrested him and handed him over to Vietnamese authority when he was still the prime minister and Hun Sen was the foreign minister. That was Hun Sen's first coup, beside 1997 against Ranariddh and in 2003 against Chea Sim when he arrested Chea Sim and sent him to Thailand.
Considering that his faces assassinations by Hun Sen's death squad, Pen Sovan is very brave indeed to attack Vietnam and Hun Sen in such a very provocative language. He is a true patriot and very brave indeed.
