25th anniversary of the Paris Peace Agreements -- unprecedented in scope for its time -- a remembrance by Theary C. Seng

Today marks the 25th anniversary of the Paris Peace Agreements, 23 Oct. 1991. I was in my first semester of my first year at Georgetown University in the School of Foreign Service and followed the news on Cambodia in The Washington Post -- with tears almost everyday of the coverage because it was my first encounter with updated real-time news of Cambodia. From the time I escaped Cambodia in autumn of 1979 till Oct. 1991, I received literally no news about Cambodia.
