Extractions: On April 17, 1998, barely 500 m inside Cambodia from Thailand, a frail, 73-year-old former dictatorknown by his nom de guerre, Pol Potwas cremated under a pile of rubbish and rubber tires. He had died two days earlier in a two-room hut, held prisoner by former colleagues who had accused him of betraying the revolutionary movement he had once led. It was an ignominious end for a man who inscribed a merciless agenda on the psyche of two generations of Cambodians. Between 1975 and 1979, Pol Pot presided over a communist regime known as Democratic Kampuchea. His harsh, utopian policies, derived in part from Maoist China, drove an estimated 1.5 million Cambodiansor one in fiveto their deaths from malnutrition, illness or overwork. At least 200,000 more were executed as enemies of the state. The ratio of deaths to population made the Cambodian revolution the most murderous in a century of revolutions.

The terms "Cambodia" and the alternative English transliteration "Kampuchea" refer to the modern Southeast Asian state located between Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam, while "Khmer" is used to denote the language, culture, and nation of the people who are ruled by that state. The territory of modern Cambodia can be thought of as a shallow saucer with a broken rim on the lower right or southeast side. ' The Cardamom mountains along Cambodia's southwestern coast form a barrier with the ocean while the Dangrek mountains along Cambodia's northern border separate the country from the Khorat plateau of Thailand. Highlands are located in Cambodia's extreme northeast. Most of Cambodia's interior is flat. The Mekong river, which enters Cambodia from the north, traverses an alluvial plain in Cambodia's southeast before entering Vietnam to eventually empty into the South China Sea.

Extractions: MATTandNARY.com Serving in Cambodia Skip to content Today I stand before you without a completed story. I am just at the beginning of my life making something of myself, branching out and having to start making my own decisions. During this year, I was on an emotional roller coaster, transitioning from secondary school to post-secondary school. For me, crying was my coping mechanism when something is brothering me. I always let fear, doubts, indecisiveness take a toll on my life. For me, I constantly struggle with trust and reliance on the Lord. I don’t like the unknown. This always leads me to anxiety, doubts and avoidance. I like things paved out and planned beforehand. Taking risks and stepping out of my comfort zone is hard. More than ever, I realized this following year that all this concern to get my future right and plan out is the wrong approach, nothing needs to be set in stone. I could turn to several people for advice but I need to say that’s enough and start with him. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 Throughout my whole life, I have the guidance of my grandma and my mom. At an early age of 7 on Saturday, June 28, 1998, I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord, and Saviour with the help of my mom during the Billy Graham Evangelistic Conference. I want to thank all the people God had lead to touch my life, my grandpa or pastor Sou, for his teachings and his connection with my family since I was little. Furthermore, I would like to thank all three youth pastors, Matthew for believing in me and his prayers, especially his encouragement. (For starting this) Liz and Michael for their understanding, revealing God’s love letters and helping me achieve what I am doing today. Plus thank you to Bu Chinda, Ma, my family and Mme Lisimaque. All of these people thank you for all your support and love.

Kallie Szczepanski More Images zSB(3,3) The 20th century was disastrous for Cambodia. The country was occupied by Japan in World War II, and became "collateral damage" in the Vietnam War, with secret bombings and cross-border incursions. In 1975, the Khmer Rouge regime seized power; they would murder approximately 1/5 of their own citizens in a mad frenzy of violence. Yet not all of Cambodian history is dark and blood-drenched. Between the 9th and 13th centuries, Cambodia was home to the Khmer Empire, which left behind incredible monuments such as Angkor Wat. Hopefully, the 21st century will be much kinder to the people of Cambodia than the last one was.

Extractions: Life These eight years of war had undermined the infrastructure of Cambodia. So, when the Khmer Rouge took over after declaring the state as Democratic Kampuchea, the people heaved a sigh of relief. They perceived these silent, heavily armed young men as fellow Khmer who could lead a revolutionary society. Their optimism was tragically misplaced as Pol Pot ordered for immediate severing of relations with all neighboring countries. He banned foreign and minority languages and attacked Thailand, Laos and Vietnam who shared a common border with Cambodia. The worst affected were the children, who saw their parents queued up for divorce. The divorced were burdened with the upbringing of these children, which they failed. These children had to bear the trauma of losing their parents as most of them perished through executions, torture, enslavement, starvation and other brutal policies.

Extractions: The Rustics By Richard Wood, Rustic 11 1970 was an interesting year in the history of the war in Southeast Asia. President Richard M. Nixon, under intense pressure from congress and the public, was determined to withdraw all American forces from Vietnam with some degree of honor. A process called "Vietnamization" was in progress, which essentially meant giving most of the military equipment to the South Vietnamese and returning all of the real estate occupied by the Americans to them. Each base -except for Tan Son Nhut was in the process of closing. Tan Son Nhut would be the last to close and it was absorbing all of the bits and pieces left from disbanded units and it was hopelessly crowded. The mood of the Americans in Vietnam was low. They knew that winning was no longer an objective (if it ever was) and there was no incentive to venture outside the American bases and pick a fight with anyone. In III Corps, the 1st Calvary Division was still sending out patrols and still providing work for the Rash FACs. The 25th Infantry Division was less active and the Issue FACs were under-employed. At Ben Hoa , The Ranch Hand (Agent Orange) operation had been disbanded. The 3rd Tac Fighter Wing had traded its F-100s for A-37s and was gradually turning those over to the VNAF. The most active unit at Bien Hoa was the 19th TASS, which was still supporting O-2 and OV-10 FACs at 22 Forward Operating Locations throughout III Corps.
My Trip To Ratanakiri In Cambodia - Thavry Thun This is the first I visited this lake, and I learned about Cambodian geography. We returned to the town, and visited with friends, and enjoyed a meal together. http://thavry.com/art/travel
Extractions: Travel to Ratanakiri My friend Maria and I decided to go to Ratanakiri Province. Ratanakiri is a Province in eastern Cambodia where traditional people live as they did many years ago. The people are a mixed race of Khmer, Lao, Vietnamese, Chinese. It is very far from Phnom Penh. If you go directly to Ratanakiri, it takes about one day, but if you stop in Kratie, where you can see the Irrawaddy, it will take two days. In The Kratie Province This was my first time to see Mekong River, and these beautiful Provinces of Cambodia, so it was very interesting for me. We spent time along the river, and ate local foods which were not very expensive. It was cool and nice, and there were not many tourist. Early morning we took a van to Ratanakiri, which cost about $7.50 for one person. We left Kratie about 8:00am, and it took about six hours to arrive in Ratanakiri. The road is still very rough, and was under construction. On the way it was cool, and the view was very nice, with all the trees along the road, and everything was so green. It made us feel so good. Arriving Ratanakiri We arrived in Ratanakiri at about two o'clock in the afternoon, and it was very quiet and peaceful. The people are very friendly, there are not many tourists, and everything seemed to be very inexpensive. We found a guest house near Banlung Market, which was five dollars a night. We did not spend any time at the guesthouse after we checked in. because we wanted to spend our time sight seeing.
