Cambodia: WAS SIHANOUK REALLY A PRISONER OF THE KR! (1/2) FR

DID we really believe Samdech Euv Sihanouk was a really prisoner of Khmer Rouge from 1975-1979? If we didn't believe he was a prisoner of Khmer Rouge. Why? Because Samdech Euv Sihanouk is so different like the Sky and the Earth. He's the most important keys of all problems. As a Khmer old saying goes like this:Once you start, try to finish. (Boeu look prohoc treuv look oy kop day, which it means whatever you are planning to do, you must finish all your work. Prohoc means in Khmer "Fish Paste", its taste really stinks, but nearly all Cambodian people like it very much. Once you put your fingers/hands into a jar of prohoc whether just touching it. The smell of prohoc still stains on your hands for a good long period.) Akin to English proverb: Don't change horse midstream. (Don't change things when you're halfway through something.) So Samdech Euv Sihanouk is the one who starts all the problems by supporting Vietcong whose bases were secretly stationed everywhere in Cambodia. When Phnom Penh was liberated with all Vietcong help (more than 60,000 Yuon Vietcong still in Cambodia after Phnom Penh was liberated in 1975). So it's the best way for Samdech Euv Sihanouk, to pretend to be dead, who secretly used Chinese and North bodyguards to protect him from being snatched away by Yuon secret agents who perfectly impersonated themselves as Yuon Angkar Leur/Cap Tren everywhere in Cambodia.To keep Cambodia alive until the end of time, Sihanouk has a real gut to use Chinese and North Korean to protect him against Yuon and Siam imperialist land plunderers and land robbers. He's not afraid of being strongly and bitterly condemned by his Cambodian compatriots at all. Cambodians never ever uses their Khmer mistresses' beauties to lure foreigners because they are so shy. But King Sihanouk had perfectly used "A Trick of pretending to be dead" from 1975 to 1978 by clearly declaring to the world about his resignation from leadership of Khmer Rouge as on April 2, 1976. Because Samdech Euv Sihanouk knew too well about the killing fields, the brutal evacuation of townspeople into the country:In the Royal palace, Norodom Sihanouk, Kampuchea's head of state, reads his resignation address to Kampuchea and to the world, first in Khmer, then in French. After he declared to resign as a titular head of State, he transferred all his powers to Khieu Samphan and Pol Pot.Sihanouk is a great genius king on earth by using Khieu Samphan and Pol Pot as a leadership of Khmer Rouge for him instead. From 1975-78, if Samdech Euv Sihanouk was living in exile in China and North Korea during the period of horror turmoil, the world and Cambodians would not have supported him to lead a Coalition Government in exile to drive the Vietnamese out of Cambodia starting from 1979 to 1991 until Paris Peace Agreement was signed.Prince Sihanouk clearly told to the world: "People say I'm a prisoner of Chinese. It's not such a bad prison (Beijing March 1971). You can see my prison. I'm very pleased to be in China, which I've always thought of as my second home. I have a very dear friend here, PM Chou En Lai. We first met at Bandung in 1955 and since then we've always been the best of friends. Now he's put this large house at my disposal. Along with staff who look after me. In manner, I'd deserve as affectionate. Cambodia is full of admiration for China. China is the biggest nation of all and Cambodia is a small country, but we have a relationship of equals."Prince Sihanouk and his wife survived only because they were protected by the Chinese. (Chinese soldiers dressed up as in disguised as Khmer Rouge in those days from 1975-79 around only Phnom Penh, Kompong Som/Sihanoukville and some other major towns). Royal palace became a prison in Phnom Penh. It sounds like Samdech Euv Sihanouk who was a really prisoner of his Khmer Rouge! Did we all see him being kept as a prisoner of his Khmer Rouge? No, we didn't. So, how did we know Samdech Euv Sihanouk was a real prisoner of his Khmer Rouge? Who told us about this? The answer is Samdech Euv Sihanouk who clearly told us about his story being a prisoner of his Khmer Rouge in his book of Norodom Sihanouk, Prisonnier des Khmers Rouges. Hachette):Uncertainly was his greatest enemy and in November 1976 he could contain himself no longer. To Monique's deep distress, he vented his feelings to Khieu Samphan, demanding to know if he was to be kept a prisoner for life, prevented from travelling even in his own country. If this was the case, Sihanouk dramatically concluded, "let Angkar shoot me"
