Ending the Khmer-Krom’s nightmare of Oppression and Fear of Yuon 
Vietnam government has a wealth of strategies in placed to eliminate Khmer-Krom from their beloved land without physically bleeding them. History has taught us again and again that we, Khmer-Krom, have to stop this oppressive nightmare and the fear of Yuon. Our struggle is to do what is right for what is true. There are more than 300 million indigenous peoples around the globe who are actively fighting for freedom and human rights. Thus, we encourage all who live under the oppression and have do nothing to oppose it are living a lie – the lie that life is normal. The stark reality is that all people have the choice to start telling the truth to themselves and the world. We have to act on this truth and start resisting the lies and the rule of colonization. We have challenge ourselves many years on objectives, goals and vision and have debated the differences. Can we all do better? We have to live in the truth and open up power to change Kampuchea-Krom. To do so, KKF has the vision “Road Map to Motherland” by explaining the truth about the oppression to our beloved Khmer-Krom so they can begin to understand and appreciate KKF’s purpose. I believe that the Vietnamese oppression of the indigenous Khmer Krom people will not last forever. As Lincoln once said, “Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable – a most sacred right – a right, which we hope and believe, will liberate the world.” Indeed the Khmers Kampuchea-Krom Federation was formed for the very same reason, to prepare and lead the way to a greater destiny. Freedom to choose directions – A Khmer-Krom Self-determination and its future destiny. We are the voice of Khmer-Krom, more than 8 million of us. KKF is a young struggle movement and it is nice to say nice things about. We must show the will, the initiative, and the moral energy necessary to keep our major interests in the forefront and so contribute to the changes that are taking place. Hope and faith must to be placed in our hearts. Our sucess in world affairs will be measured by the suitability of our objectives, our internal strength and unity of purpose. Can we find this unity of purpose? This is the “proper environment” of which after hundred years of successive colonized history, hardship and oppression. Before, we have unstable vision because of many reasons. We must determine what is best for all Khmer-Krom at this particular point in time before we can declare a Khmer-Krom position on national and international questions. Happily, unity and a sense of nationhood are achieved by the remembrance of things past as well as by planning for tomorrow. There is much in our past that is still living and must be preserved, but there is also much that has no present value except that of sentiment. Khmer-Krom are not defeated peoples living in this world today, and no one can say or denial our claim of self-determination. We all know that the processes of the change sweeping through the world have within the past generations destroyed empires, transformed utterly the political and social institutions of continents and no appeal to traditional ways can restore their former utility. In a rapid and changing world, the strength and unity of Kampuchea-Krom will stem from a strong determination and concentration on the possibilities that lie before the Khmer-Krom people. Historically, no one can divide us; we have and will retain our hopes, our dreams if we concentrate on what we can do tomorrow. We need a vibrant and living struggle movement. We, KKF, need to define our aims and objectives so that the meaning and the significance of the global change that are taking place in our hopes and dreams will be clearly understood and accepted by all Khmer-Krom. We need to develop a deeper understanding and greater and clearer comprehension of ourselves and our identity so that we may more correctly and effectively assess and evaluate our position among the nations of the world. We need a Kampuchea-Krom image for the sake our people and the international community so that neither the one nor the other would have reason to misjudge our probable responses to our objectives, goals and vision. We must have our own character and style to determine our very own future. Indigenous cultures of peoples such as the Khmer-Krom has been developed over the centuries will not disappear or be eliminated that easily. In fact, our Khmer-Krom people are reasserting itself at a particularly fortunate moment in history. The successful completion of the first international conference on Khmer-Krom issues at The Hague, Netherlands has paved the way for the creation of tomorrow that spells UNITY” and Self-determination for the Khmer-Krom people.
