Farewell to arms

Article Abstract:

The United Front for Liberation of Oppressed Races (Fulro) surrendered its weapons to UN officials on Oct 10, 1992, after 28 years of struggle against the Vietnamese government. The struggle was launched in 1964 to obtain an autonomous homeland for the Montagnard people. Even when most of the Montagnard leaders were either exiled, executed or killed in battle, Fulro combatants continued their struggle till their supplies ran out. Though the Fulro guerillas have been promised re-settlement in the US, they have not abandoned their goal of freedom.

Diverted traffic: Indochina supplants Thailand as conduit for Burma's drugs

Article Abstract:

Shipment of heroin produced from Burma's Golden Triangle has been rerouted from the Thailand route to either the Laotian or Cambodian routes due to Thailand's stepping up of drug surveillance. Drug shippers have discovered thatthere is lax security and government policy on drug trafficking in Laos and Cambodia. Aside from this, the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambidia can only do so much as intercept shipment and return them back to the owners because there is no existing UN mandate to confiscate them altogether.

My education: How Saloth Sar became Pol Pot

Article Abstract:

Pol Pot claims to have been influenced by several progressive movements when he was a student in France in 1949-52. He was born Saloth Sar in Kampong Thom province, later winning a scholarship to France. He claims he began as a nationalist, and then a patriot, but that his real political awakening was on his return to Cambodia, and it was by change that he became the Cambodian Communist Party leader in 1960.
