Killing fields, 50 years on: How the Khmer Rouge's legacy still divides Cambodia

  • サマリー

  • On April 17,1975, a hardline Communist command led by Pol Pot swept into Phnom Penh and overthrew the US-backed military government of General Lon Nol. The Khmer Rouge went on to write the darkest chapter in Cambodia's history, committing one of the worst genocides of the 20th century. More than two million people were killed during their four-year rule, as they carried out mass killings and forced labour in their pursuit of radical ideologies.

    FRANCE 24's Jennifer Ben Brahim looks at continuing efforts by Cambodians to rebuild the nation and how longtime ex-prime minister Hun Sen continues to wield influence.

    Also, Chhengpor Aun of Cambodian think tank Future Forum speaks to Yuka Royer about how many survivors of the genocide have "forgiven, but never forgotten" the perpetrators of the atrocities, and about the challenges of passing on the lessons of history to the younger generation.

    Plus, David Hutt from the Central European Institute of Asian Studies gives us his insight into how the legacy of the Khmer Rouge has been used for political purposes by the current regime.
