Thanks for posting the report. Even though it's old it has not lost anything of its outrageous effect. Shame on the UN, the western world and China alike for providing help to the Khmer rouge, these murderous bastards. I hope there will be a brighter future for the people in Cambodia.

i spent 2 months in cambodia in 2006 and things are far from perfect, but the people are so welcoming and kind. they have the will to overcome, all they need and deserve is the help of the western world. god speed.

You must see the khmer rouge genocide in the contexte of Vietnam war. We were in the cool war. USA helped one side, and China (and URSS) helped an other side. Vietnameses are not responsible about khmer rouge genocide, the real responsible were chineses (maoist); but Khmers were at first. You must learn the history of Vietnam war by checking out the following document (Dien Bien Phu, The Legacy 1/4).

@Lucas11B They are doing all that because the Vietnamese were responsible for ousting the genocidal Khmer Rouge out of Cambodia and the West need to oppose Vitenamese influence at all cost... Even if it means arming the Khmer Rouge against the ppl again and starving the ppl to oblivion because the Vietnamese were responsible of helping them and they would rather contract with the devil himself if he would be willing to fight Vietnamese influence.

@fruitsofnews The post "About the Khmer Rouge Genocide 1/37" and the 2 previous Cambodia reports of Pilger help understand the situation better.

Basically, the Vietnamese stemmed the Khmer Rouge genocide by invading Cambodia and chasing them out. By doing so, the Vietnamese established their own influence in Cambodia and the West would rather provide firewood to the devil than allow for Vietnamese influence, even if it means letting the ppl rot and forcing their executioners' hold on them again

the war in vietnam was for geographical reasons, opium, oil in vietnam and southern china sea, huge mineral resources, extremly valuable woods and plants for medicines, but the usa couldnt win so they destroyed it all, cambodia was a way to destroy even more what the usa couldnt get, this shos the true face of the usa... they are doing the same now in irak afg. and lybia, middle east

The US and other Western countries supported Pol Pot because he was anti-Vietnamese. He briefly invaded some parts of Vietnam, to which the Vietnamese responded by overthrowing him in a large-scale invasion of Cambodia. Vietnam was at that time the "Iran" of southeast Asia. A true opponent of Western interests in southeast Asia. And the Neo-Con American leadership also wanted revenge for their bitter humiliation in the Vietnam war in 1975.

Thank you for posting this video. It is very informative and gives me a better idea about what was going on to Cambodia and its innocent people after Vietnam had disposed the Pol pot's regime. Once again, it is about how the international super power countries playing their political games at the cost of those unfortunate countries' innocent people. John Pilger did a great job in this documentary report.

I interviewed a former SAS soldier who admitted being in Malaysia in a camp where there were Khmer Rouge troops but would not admit to training them. I guess its because he would face a jail term for breaching the official secrets act.
