4 members of Vietnamese military K10 and A21, standing surrounding me,
each holding weapon in each hand. At this time Comrade Say Phouthong
exclaimed: "You, Bong, are a traitor." When I heard this charge of
treason, the military standing nearby snatched the telephone from my
hand, pounding it boom-boom! on the table. And the military shouted
"You sit down and shut up." ... At this time Comrade Hun Sen pulled out a

Priceless!!! How many of us Khmer have a chance to read and understand [esp. in our very own native Khmer language] such a very invaluable document? Thanks a million to Khmer Democrat for the researches and documentations of all aspects of the Vietnamization of Cambodia here on T2P.

Vietnam erected K5 to protect the innocent Cambodians from Khmer Rouges. K5 plan was a static defense line to stop Khmer Rouges from infiltrating into Cambodia from Thailand.
After Vietnam liberated Cambodia from Khmer Rouges, the people were told to wait for a plan of orderly repatriation to their original home. But the Cambodian folks suddenly dropped all of their current farming, abandoned their current villages and started trekking home in mass.
The motivation was simple. If you don't go home now to reclaim your home, some others will squat your houses then claim it. As the result, the sudden mass loss of farming caused famine.
And it was extremely distributing the aid to the local rural. The road was just not there, and the local people were so corrupted. there were not just never enough Vietnamese troops to fight the Khmer Rouges, guard the country side and at the same time guard the Northern Border against China. We all knew that China invaded Vietnam to restore Khmer Rouges but Vietnam repelled them.
Today we can still see the mass of land fights because of the squatters. It's a huge problem in Cambodia with so much sorrow. As I mentioned before, it's the root cause for all the Cambodians to suddenly abandon their KR commune to trek home.
Vietnam saved Cambodia but could not solve all Cambodia's problems especially when the Cambodians did not listen to the advise from Vietnam.
