Extractions: Cambodia Recent history Sandwiched between Vietnam, Thailand and Laos, Cambodia was a French protectorate from 1863 until 1953. In 1953, Prince Norodom Sihanouk declared the country's independence. Two years later he abdicated in order to become Prime Minister. But in 1970 he was overthrown in a coup led by army general Lol Nol, who assumed the presidency in what became the newly declared Khmer Republic. As the 1960s ushered in the Vietnam conflict, Cambodia became embroiled in the regional instability. It was heavily bombed by American forces. This instability helped lead to the rise of a Maoist insurgency group, the notorious Khmer Rouge. Years of civil war followed, until finally the Khmer Rouge captured the capital, Phnom Penh, in 1975. The Khmer Rouge leader, Pol Pot, renamed Cambodia Democratic Kampuchea. A Year Zero policy was introduced, in which the country was to become an agrarian economy. On Pol Pot's orders entire towns and cities were emptied and the people driven onto the land, in a mass collectivisation programme. Money and trade were abolished. Education was halted, machines destroyed, transport terminated, hospitals and schools closed and the Buddhist and Muslim religions banned.

Extractions: Cambodia: Year Zero One of the most notable genocides since 1945 was visited on its own people by the Khmer Rouge , the guerrilla movement which successfully came to power using the destablization of Cambodia, following the US extension of the Vietnam war into that country. In April 1975, the Khmer Rouge took the capital city of Phnom Penh. At this point the began an exercise in social control on a scale rarely seen. Under the direction of the Angkar (the "Higher Committee"), led by Pol Pot (who was arrested for this only in 1997), the government moved people out of the cities into the countryside for a massive reeducation program. At the same time there began the systematic killing of those Cambodians associated with earlier governments. More, any Cambodian man, woman or child who was seen as a threat ,or who refused to obey orders was killed. The ability to speak a western language was sufficient grounds. Between 1975 and 1979 over half a million Cambodians, out of a population of seven million, fell in the Khmer Rouge "killing fields".

Extractions: Angkor For centuries, the area around the Mekong delta and the Cambodian central plain were ruled by the Kingdom of Java (in today's Indonesia). But in 802, Khmer prince Jayavarman II, who was born and raised at the court of the Javanese Sailendra Dynasty, declares the areas inhabited by Khmer independent from Java and thus founds the kingdom of Angkor. He is crowned as Devaraja (god king) by a Brahman priest. In the following years he moves his capital several times. Initially it was at Indrapura (east of Kampong Cham), then at Wat Phou (in today's southern Laos) and finally at Rolous (near Angkor).

(February 3) BANGKOK, Thailand Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has given a cautious welcome to Cambodian efforts at patching up ties following last week's anti-Thai riots in Phnom Penh. But the Thai leader said relations between the two Southeast Asian countries would take time to repair. "The first step is that the Cambodian government has expressed sincerity to apologize for what happened," Thaksin told reporters after meeting with Cambodian Foreign Minister Hor Namhong Tuesday. The minister was on a fence-mending mission and had bought with him a personal letter of apology from Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen. Thaksin said after the meeting that he had sent a message back to the Cambodian leader expressing sympathy over what happened.

Time.com People Fortune EW PHNOM PENH, Cambodia Tigers ate a pregnant woman after dragging her to a forest in rural Cambodia, according to a local newspaper. The beasts mobbed the woman in Kantuot village, 80 km (50 miles) north of the provincial capital Siam Reap, when she and her husband were walking to their vegetable field, a local newspaper reported. The husband found her head when he went into the forest to help her, the Rasmai Kampuchea newspaper reported Saturday. Local police said they had not received reports of the incident, but that the densely-forested area around Kantuot was home to a growing population of tigers since the end of the country's decades-long civil war. Villagers told the newspaper that tigers had killed and eaten 10 cattle in the area before the assault on the woman. The paper quoted 72-year-old villager Suk Khong as saying that the villagers were worried for their safety.
History That's Fit To Print 1984 s Winston Smith edited from history any facts Big Brother wanted forgotten,the New York Times has omitted the US contribution to Cambodia s two decades http://www.fair.org/extra/best-of-extra/nyt-cambodia-history.html
Extractions: January/February 1990 The New York Times is fond of running chronologies to explicate history for its readers. Often these chronologies provide a very selective version of events. Take a Jan. 8, 1990 example headlined "Two Decades of Suffering in Cambodia". It begins on March 18, 1970 ("Prince Norodom Sihanouk is ousted by Lon Nol...") and then skips to April 17, 1975 ("The Khmer Rouge rebels seize Phnom Penh..."). No mention is made of the 1969-1973 U.S. bombing campaign that dropped more than 500,000 tons of bombs on Cambodia, leaving, according to a Washington Post estimate (4/24/75), 450,000 dead and wounded. The only reference to U.S. involvement in Cambodian affairs is that Lon Nol had "American backing" against North Vietnam and the Khmer Rouge a neat way of skirting the fact that the U.S. invaded Cambodia in April 1970, a month after the first entry in the Times ' chronology. The chronology also neglects to mention that the U.S. has for years supported a guerrilla coalition dominated by the murderous Khmer Rouge.
