The Khmer Krom and Vietnam were created different, like apples and pears. They, the Vietnamese, must recognize and learn how to respect and appreciate these differences. The world wants to discover the way Khmer Krom were before colonization and so the VN communist government must open the whole truth to the world and its own people. The communist VN must know that they can lie to the world; but they cannot hide the true history. It is the Vietnamese communist government responsibility to educate is population the history; so they will learn how to live and respect the indigenous peoples, the original land owner. “In the past decade, there have been numerous wars including the Indo-china and the Vietnam War. Just because we, Khmer Krom, spent our lives those years in silence does not mean we are deaf and blind or that we are defeated.” Now, we are learning and demanding our rights. The communist VN say we are a trouble maker and yet when one thinks about it, what about them? What type of crimes have they committed when they invaded and colonized our homeland, destroy our culture and kill our people? Who is putting Vietnam on trial for attempting to eliminate the Khmer Krom people from the surface of this Earth? Don’t let the light go out We, KKF, appeal and encourage our people inland and around the world to stand up together to fight the VN communist government. It is within our rights to do so and this communist government must respect the Human Rights treaties and the recent adoption on the Rights of Indigenous People, in particular indigenous peoples. Our Khmer people are now stand up together every where around the world to protest against the Vietnamese government. This evil communism is exerting its power to pressure the Cambodian government to cover up their dirty blood coated hands. They hope that Khmer people and Cambodian government will do whatever they told them to do. It is a shameful strategy that they use again our Khmer people for centuries. They hope it will work because of their mad, greedy desire for power. In recent months, we, Khmer people have united. We know how to protect our homeland and we realize the devious behavior and greedy goals toward Khmer land. They claim to be the good neighbor, good friend and help Khmer people from the killing field. But did they ever respect the Paris Peace Agreement? Our Khmer people in Cambodia might not know what is in the mind of this VN communist toward Cambodia; but Khmer Krom knew exactly the plans of the Vietnamese to invade Cambodia after 1975. They never have sympathy for us; driven by the selfish goal of obtaining only our lands and our natural resources and creating havoc and miserable lives for many of us in Cambodia. “Only when the sun rises from the west; then we, Khmer people, should reveal the truth of communist Vietnamese” We must keep our struggle moving forward and stop the invader.
