Cambodia: The Khmer Rouge

Tweet

My son-in-law works with a Cambodian man who was in Cambodia, during the years that more than one million people there, died from enforced hardships and executions. His entire family were killed. He survived by playing dead, laying under another dead body. He finally escaped and somehow managed to come to the USA. Phnom Penh is the capital of Cambodia. It is a land of rice paddies and forests and the Mekong River dominates the area. The official language there is Khmer, and French and English are also spoken. After a 5-year long struggle, communist Khmer Rouge armies captured Phnom Penh in 1975 and forced the evacuation of all the cities and towns. In 1978, the Vietnamese invaded and drove the Khmer Rouge into the countryside, which began a 13-year battle. Finally, the Khmer Rouge diminished with the help of UN forces and a coalition government was formed with national elections. Eventually, political stability was restored and the Khmer Rouge surrendered. It was a terrible time in history for Cambodia and to think that over a million innocent persons died is so sad. Today I heard on the news that in Syria, many citizens of that country are being killed and their bodies are being burned in a crematorium. Why do these things happen? You might want to watch a 3-minute video, that will explain why these things are happening and what the future holds. Some persons want to blame God, but the one who is behind all this violence and death is NOT God. This video will explain who is behind it and what will soon take place.
