Today marks the 33rd anniversary of the intervention of the Vietnamese Armed Forces that ousted Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge regime in 1979.
While the government celebrate 7th January as the liberation day from the Khmer Rouge genocidal regime, the controversy and the debates over the significance of the day continues, with the oppositions, the government critics and the civil society called it an invasion day or a liberation through the Vietnamisation of Cambodia.
The main opposition Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) has issued a statement titled "Should we celebrate January 7?", questioning the validity for the celebration of the day as a liberation day. The statement said that only the traitors or those who sold out to the traitors and those who have been brainwashed by the propaganda of the traitors, celebrate the 7th January as the liberation day.
Mr. Sam Rainsy, the exiled leader of the eponymous party, said that all Khmer people should remember the 7th January as the day of an invasion by the Vietnamese forces under the guise that it came to liberate the Khmer people from the Khmer Rouge genocidal regime. He said, however, the invading Vietnamese army had installed a small number of Khmer traitors in order to legitimise the Vietnamese invasion and to implement the policy of Vietnamisation of Cambodia. Mr. Rainsy added that since time immemorial, since before the existence of the name Vietnam, when Vietnam was still called Dai Viet or Annam, the Vietnamese rulers had only one wish and that is to swallow Cambodia and annex it as a Vietnamese territory which has made Cambodia shrunk to its present tiny size.
Mr. Rainsy added that the Vietnamese policy has caused Cambodia to lose Kampuchea Krom territory in 1949 and since then Vietnam continued its policy of expansionism towards Cambodia, using various tricks such as the 7th January Day.
The statement said that the Khmer people should fully understand that if there is no 17th April, the day of the Khmer Rouge takeover of power in 1975, there will be no 7th January, the day of the Vietnamese occupation of Cambodia. By the same token, if the Vietnamese army did not help the Khmer Rouge army in the early 1970s, the Khmer Rouge would not be able to come to power on 17th April 1975. The statement added that, taking the opportunity during Cambodia's chaos, Vietnam had planted many secret agents inside the Khmer Rouge regime to aid and abet in the killings of the Khmer people. The statement then concluded that the event and the suffering of the Khmer people in the last 40 years was a plan devised by Vietnam for the purpose of its policy of expansionism over Cambodia.
Mr. Rainsy said that, at the same time, Vietnam had forced its puppet in Phnom Penh to cede more and more Khmer territory along the border to Vietnam.
Mr. Rainsy added that the Vietnamese strategy is to use Khmers to kill Khmers in every pictures, from economy to land concessions through the confiscation of lands from poor Khmer farmers to give to rich Vietnamese companies.
At the end, the statement appeals to all Khmers to unite around the SRP to help save Cambodia from extinction before its too late.
The minor opposition Human Rights Party (HRP) of Mr. Kem Sokha has also issued a statement, saying that 7th January was the day of the end of Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge regime, but it was also a day of the creation of another regime that was used as a proxy of Vietnam. The HRP said it was fully aware that the Khmer Rouge regime had committed unforgivable crimes during its rule from 17th April 1975 to its ouster on 7th January 1979. It added that it was also fully aware that after it invaded Cambodia on 7th January 1979, Vietnam continued the policy of extermination of the Khmer people through its murderous "K-5" policy of sending Khmer people to their deaths through starvation, diseases and landmines when it sent them to build dikes and to cut trees to build defence walls against the Khmer Rouge. The HRP said "to celebrate 7th January is to celebrate Vietnam's invasion of Cambodia".
The Norway-based Cambodia Watch Council had also issued a statement describing 7th January as a day of the ouster of one murderous regime from Cambodia and the installation of a similar one to rule it in order to facilitate Vietnam's policy of annexation of Cambodia.
Despite condemnations by critics and the opposition parties, the ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) today ceremoniously celebrated 7th January with more than 10,000 people attending.
In a speech to more than 10,000 party members, Mr. Chea Sim, president of the CPP, said 7th January had given Cambodia and the Cambodian people a second life. "Today marks the 33rd anniversary of the great and historical victory of the 7th January 1979 which had toppled the genocidal Pol Pot's regime and saved our nation and people just in time. Based on this great victory, the Cambodian people throughout the country had everything today and have a future full of hopes", he sad.
He added that the Khmer people should never forget crimes and tragedy perpetrated by the Khmer Rouge.
The Khmer Rouge leaders, included the leaders of the present regime, notably Mr. Hun Sen, Chea Sim and Heng Samrin, had toppled the Khmer Republican regime on 17th April 1975 and ruled Cambodia with a murderous policy until it was in turn toppled by Vietnam's army on 7th January 1979.

You guys has nothing else better to occupy your brain functions beside trying to accurately define the 7th January?!
There will be no January any more if I'm becoming the next Pope!
You see,December was used to be the 10th month of the year while November was only the 9th of the year.
The calendar was run smoothly then two popes had inserted theirs 2 names (Julius and August) in the middle of the year and pushed the last two real names away (now we no longer know what they were called!).
Sure,you still can argue next about 7th Makara or 7th Miggsira or whatever you wanted to!
My point is, we should stop wasting our time arguing or celebrating this non-beneficial day for our nation.
The stupid UN at those time was run by a jerk! who was that guy and from what country that idiot became UN secretary general?. He couldn't even move his butt from New York to come visit Phnom Penh at the invitation of Pol Pot. Had he done the visit or send some of his deputy to investigate the situation, Vietnam would think twice before invading Cambodia.
