"As much an attack on our own generation of 14-26 yr olds as it is to
the older generation of adulterated people - you know, the escort
banking official civil service know not think not hairsprayed beer
shoe gazers only concerned with their own security and wage packet -
rebellion to these is a fight up the pub, dyed hair or not doing
homework." (Patrick Jones) |
KHMER ROUGE
Cambodian Communist guerrilla force. Aided by Vietnamese Communists, it waged a war (1970-75) that toppled Lon Nol. Under Pol Pot, it undertook a ruthless collectivization drive in which perhaps 1.5 million people died. Border fighting with Vietnam led to a Vietnamese invasion (1978-79), the ouster of the Khmer Rouge, and installation of the Heng Samrin regime. The Khmer Rouge, however, continued to field an army of c.30,000 near the Thai border and retained UN recognition as the official Cambodian government. In 1982 it formed a coalition with former premier Norodom Sihanouk and non-Communist leader Son Sann. Khieu Samphan officially succeeded Pol Pot as head of the Khmer Rouge in 1985, but Pol Pot is believed to remain the real leader. All Cambodian factions signed (1991) a treaty calling for UN-supervised elections and disarming 70% of all forces, but the Khmer Rouge withdrew (1992) from the peace process and resumed fighting.
