Bun Chanmol
Bun Chanmol (Khmer: ប៊ុណ្ណ ចន្ទម៉ុល) was a Cambodian political activist and writer who was executed by the Khmer Rouge after the fall of Phnom Penh. At the beginning of the third millennium, his best-selling political pamphlet, ''Charret Khmer'' (Khmer character), was "perhaps the most widely read book among Cambodians". Biography The youngest prisoner after the Umbrella Revolution Bun Chanmol was born in Cambodia in 1921 close to the Royal Palace as the fourth son of the district governor of Ta Khmau. In 1934, at age 13, he was sent by his family to join the Buddhist monkhood at Wat Langka under the modernist abbot Lvea Em. In 1940, he left the monkhood to start boxing and became one of the top fights of Khmer ''bokator''.

Politics Of Cambodia
The politics of Cambodia are defined within the framework of a constitutional monarchy, in which the king serves as the head of state, and the prime minister is the head of government. The collapse of communism set in motion events that led to the withdrawal of the Vietnamese armed forces, which had established their presence in the country since the fall of the Khmer Rouge. The 1993 constitution, which is currently in force, was promulgated as a result of the 1991 Paris Peace Agreements, followed by elections organized under the aegis of the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia. The constitution declares Cambodia to be an "independent, sovereign, peaceful, permanently neutral and non-aligned country." The constitution also proclaims a liberal, multiparty democracy in which powers are devolved to the executive, the judiciary and the legislature. However, there is no effective opposition to the Prime Minister Hun Sen, who has been in power since 1985. His Cambodian P ...

Ieu Koeus
Ieu Koeus ( km, អៀវ កើស; 1905 – 14 January 1950) was a Cambodian politician. He served as President of the National Assembly of Cambodia from 1946 to 1949, and as Prime Minister of Cambodia for nine days in September 1949. Considered an intellectual, he was instrumental in the formation of the Cambodian Democratic Party in April 1946, created a self-declared government on September 20, 1949, was replaced by Yem Sambaur on September 29. On 14 January 1950, a hand grenade was thrown into the party headquarters, fatally wounding Koeus, who led the ''National Union Movement''.Corfield, Justin. "Historical Dictionary of Cambodia", p. 168 The man throwing the grenade was captured and arrested, admitting, then later denying, that he was a member of the opposing Liberal party. Blame for the assassination, however, varies from the French, King Sihanouk, Yem Sambaur, and rebel Issaraks with little evidence available. Koeus' son Ieu Pannakar was a Cambodian senator ...

Kampuchea Krom
Kampouchea Krom ( km, កម្ពុជាក្រោម, ; "Lower Cambodia") is the region variously known as Southern Vietnam, Nam Bo, and the former French Cochinchina. Bordering present-day Cambodia, the region is positioned in Cambodian nationalist mythology as a "once-integral part of the Khmer kingdom that was colonised by France as Cochinchina in the mid-nineteenth century, then was ceded to Vietnam in June 1949". In the present day, the region roughly corresponds to the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam. Kampouchea Krom continues to be home to many ethnic Khmer Krom, with some Khmer estimating their numbers to be between seven million and over ten million. The Khmer term "Kampuchea Krom" can be translated as "Lower Cambodia". An alternative name for the region is "Kampuchea Lech Tuek" ( ), which roughly corresponds to "Flooded Cambodia". Territorial history In a Khmer Buddhist monk's vision, the Khmer have inhabited the land of Kampuchea Krom since it first emerged f ...

Anti-Vietnamese Sentiment
Anti-Vietnamese sentiment ( vi, Chủ nghĩa bài Việt Nam) involves hostility or hatred that is directed towards Vietnamese people, or the state of Vietnam. Background Anti-Vietnamese sentiment, known on the lesser version as Vietnamophobia and Anti-Vietnamism, has a strong and deep historical root for more than thousand years since the establishment of Đại Việt. There are several features behind this anti-Vietnamese hatred below: * Organized persecution of the Vietnamese as a nation or as an ethnic group, often based on the belief that Vietnamese interests are a threat to one's own national aspirations; * Racist anti-Vietnamese sentiment, a variety of xenophobia; * Cultural anti-Vietnamese sentiment: a prejudice against the Vietnamese and Vietnamese-speaking persons – their customs, language and education; and * Stereotypes about Vietnam and Vietnamese people in the media and popular culture. Anti-Vietnamese acts had been long organized by various countries and eth ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Khmer Nationalism
Khmer nationalism (or Cambodian nationalism); is a form of nationalism found in Cambodia, which asserts that Khmers (Cambodians) are a nation and that promotes the cultural unity of the Khmer (Cambodian) race. "Young Monks" Movement Another division in the Cambodian sangha can be seen in what has been called the "young monks" movement, a small group of politically active monks (primarily Maha Nikaya) voicing public opposition to the current government. The "young monks" are primarily junior members of the clergy, drawn from temples in and around Phnom Penh. Unlike the Engaged modernists, their interest is not in using the authority of the sangha to aide social development programs, but rather to express direct opposition to government policies and corruption. Since the 1993 UN-monitored elections, monks have been permitted to vote in Cambodia (a move opposed by some senior monks). While this has not resulted in any large-scale mobilization of the sangha as a political force, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

1970 Cambodian Coup D'état
The 1970 Cambodian coup d'état ( km, រដ្ឋប្រហារឆ្នាំ១៩៧០, french: Coup d'État de 1970) was the removal of the Cambodian Chief of State, Prince Norodom Sihanouk, after a vote in the National Assembly on 18 March 1970. Emergency powers were subsequently invoked by the Prime Minister Lon Nol, who became effective head of state, and led ultimately to the removal of Queen Sisowath Kossamak and the proclamation of the Khmer Republic later that year. It is generally seen as a turning point in the Cambodian Civil War. No longer a monarchy, Cambodia was semi-officially called ''"État du Cambodge"'' (State of Cambodia) in the intervening six months after the coup, until the republic was proclaimed. It also marked the change of Cambodia involvement in the Vietnam War, as Lon Nol issued an ultimatum to North Vietnamese forces to leave Cambodia.
