A Very Secret Plan


A Very Secret Plan
            From 1975 until 1979, Cambodia was under control of Pol Pot regime. The three years, eight months, and twenty days controlled by the Pol Pot clique, who called themselves "organization", had caused millions of innocent people dead and brought the nation the hell. At that period, no one knew that they became the victims of the regime due to a very secret plan. Cambodian people were evicted to live far away from their home and forced to overwork everyday. Additionally, they worked with eating less and had no food to eat, and some people starved and some died because of the starvation. The brutal government declared that all the people's properties had to be managed by them. No one could take even their own property. If one takes, the one abuses the law and betray the organization. The Pol Pot force took him or her to educate. Moreover, a small mistake made innocent people die. For example, they just got their crop to eat. If the forces know what they did, the forces get them to educate and say these people stole the public property and these need educating. But what they had said was not true and the truth was that the Pol Pot forces brought them to kill. The word "to educate" means "to kill". Additionally, they tried as much as possible to invite all the national scholars to come back to the country to develop the nation, yet it was not like what they had said. When the scholars came, the clique killed them all. Not only the scholars from abroad but also Khmer students were slaughtered by the regime. All in all, until now, Cambodian people are still wondering why this regime killed its own people and killed for what. These questions are still kept in mind by all Khmer people. although this country are processing the Khmer Rouge Court and also arrested the leaders of this genocide to be being interrogated and spread the information everyday on TV, its people still do not know why and what for the truth.

  1. Thank you for sharing this information. It is indeed a very dark spot in the history of Cambodia, and a lot of social problems the country faces today are reflections of those horrible years in the past.
