I can say that everything was planned. Everything. The Khmer Rouge regime was very strict, like Stalinism. I am sure that it was planned in detail by the leadership--that Pol Pot, Ieng Sary, Ta Mok and the other leaders were responsible for the genocide policy.

Variante: Mentre le altre nazioni hanno preso provvedimenti per unirsi in unità più grandi per promuovere il loro progresso, è spiacevole che noi in Somalia dobbiamo trovarci tutt'ora in lotta contro il tribalismo come uno dei nostri mali nazionali principali.

The Vietnamese are condemned for driving out the Khmer Rouge killers. Were the Tanzanians condemned for throwing out the hideous Idi Amin? Of course not! It should be explained why the Vietnamese came here to Cambodia: after 1975, Vietnam was under constant attack by the Khmer Rouges, who massacred Vietnamese border villages and were supported by 10,000 Chinese. An unholy trinity of Pol Pot, China and America say that Vietnam is an agent of Russia. Anyone who knows the fiercely nationalistic Vietnamese, who have stood virtually alone against invaders for thirty years, knows this to be laughably untrue. But the Chinese threat and the present denial of aid is pushing both Vietnam and Cambodia deeper into the waiting arms of the Soviet Union. Both the Cambodians and the Vietnamese are fighting for their survival as never before.
