A Matter of Hate or Justice? A twist by the Vietnamese and the Vietnamese Colonialist Government and Those Who Support Them

A Matter of Hate or Justice?

Khmer Krom and other human rights organisation often portray its peoples as the ones suffering or are victims of human rights abuse by the dominant government. More recently, however, observers within Vietnam and aboard are saying that such organisations are only projecting hate rather than love.

Interestingly, it seems like the Vietnamese communist government have the same ideology. They believe that they are the victims of much hate from organisations such as the Khmers Kampuchea-Krom Federation and the Montagnard Foundation.

But the question is really whether it is about hate? Isn’t reporting human rights abuse a sign of love? That one cannot stand to see people abused and used, a sign of caring?

If the Vietnam government had any control over the UN, one of the first organisations they would probably boot out is KKF. Is that a sign of love?

The fact that KKF is still participating in the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues is not for the lack of trying on Vietnam’s part to stop it.

In 2007, they successful closed down the viewing of documentaries about the Khmer Krom people and the Hmong at the United Nations.

Why does Vietnam want to shut Khmer Krom organisation or indigenous organisation and keep them away from the international eye?

Is it because KKF was hitting too close to the real situation in Vietnam in regards to its people?

Most Vietnamese people would be proud of the amazing economic achievements of Vietnam today.

But on whose lands and natural resources are they cultivating such success?

First come first serve? Not anymore, Khmer Krom people were in the Mekong Delta centuries ago but today Vietnam government is pocketing all the riches and the indigenous peoples are ranked the poorest.

Why is constructive feedback from KKF so ill receive by Vietnam? Constructive criticism is clearly not a matter of hate? Rather a good way to improve things that are not working?

Think honestly for a moment.

If the Khmer Krom issues were not raised at the UN or during a peaceful protest, would Vietnam really care?

Honest? I think not.
