Aia ka lua kupapaʻu ma waena o ka make o nā palena ʻāina ʻo Khmer Rouge ma Anlong Veng, kahi i kū ai nā poʻe kime o kēia neʻe hope loa i ka makahiki 1998 e like me ka make ʻana o Pol Pot. Hoʻoholo ʻia kahi hoʻolālā haku mākaʻikaʻi $ 1 miliona e mālama a pale aku i nā pūnaewele he 15, a e ʻae i ke komo ʻana.
Hoʻopili pū ʻia ma ka huakaʻi nā hale a me nā wahi hūnā o nā alakaʻi o Khmer Rouge, kahi kahua hoʻokō a me nā wahi e pili pū ana me Ta Mok, kahi luna hoʻomāinoino a me ka luna hope loa o Anlong Veng.
"Makemake ka poʻe e ʻike i ka wahi paʻa hope loa o ka Khmer Rouge a me nā wahi a lākou i hana ai i nā hana hoʻomāinoino," wahi a Seang Sokheng, ʻo ia ke poʻo o ke keʻena mākaʻikaʻi āpana a me kahi koa ex-Khmer Rouge.
Ua loaʻa ʻo Anlong Veng, i kēia manawa, ma kahi o 2,000 Kambodian a me 60 mau mākaʻikaʻi haole i kēlā me kēia mahina - kahi helu e lele i ka wā e kūkulu ʻia kahi casino e nā tacoons mai Thailand kokoke mai. Aia kekahi hale hōʻikeʻike i nā hana, i alakaʻi ʻia e Nhem En, ke kiʻi nui o ko Khmer Rouge S-21 hale hoʻomāinoino ma Phnom Penh, kahi wahi mākaʻikaʻi nui no nā makahiki.
“Aia kekahi mau hale hōʻikeʻike e pili ana i ke Kaua Honua II ma ʻEulopa a hoihoi mau ka poʻe iā Hitler. No ke aha mai e pili ana i kekahi o nā alakaʻi kaulana loa o ka honua? ” Wahi a Nhem En, i kēia manawa ka hope aliʻi o ka moku ʻo Anlong Veng. E hoʻokomo ka hale hōʻikeʻike i kāna hōʻiliʻili kiʻi nui a me kahi māla laiki e hōʻike i nā malihini kipa pehea ka poʻe i hoʻokauwā ʻia ma lalo o Khmer Rouge pū i ka wā o ko lākou nohoaliʻi ma waena o 1970s.
E like me nā mea āpau ma aneʻi, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ʻaʻole i pili i nā hana hoʻomāinoino akā hoʻopiʻi aku i nā alakaʻi kiʻekiʻe.
“Ua hoʻopau ʻia ʻo Pol Pot ma aneʻi. E ʻoluʻolu e kōkua i ka mālama ʻana i kēia pūnaewele mōʻaukala, ”e heluhelu ana i kahi hōʻailona ma kahi o kahi puʻu i palena ʻia e nā ʻōmole i paʻa i ka lepo a pale ʻia e ka hale hao hao e ʻoka ana. Ua kupu aʻe kekahi mau pua mae wale a puni ka lua kupapaʻu i kia ʻole ʻia, kahi a nā luna e hoʻopiʻi ai i kāʻili maoli ʻia i nā koena o Pol Pot e nā mea mākaʻikaʻi haole.
"Hele mai ka poʻe ma aneʻi, i nā lā hemolele hoʻi, no ka mea, manaʻoʻiʻo lākou he mana ko Pol Pot ʻuhane," i ʻōlelo ʻo Tith Ponlok, ka mea i lilo i kiaʻi kiaʻi o ke alakaʻi a noho kokoke i ka ilina.
ʻO ka poʻe Kambodia ma ia wahi, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia, ua lanakila i nā lotiri he nui ʻole, e koi ana i nā poʻe Thai e hele mai i ka palena a noi iā Pol Pot e hōʻike i nā helu lanakila i kā lākou mau moemoeā. ʻO nā luna aupuni mai Phnom Penh a me nā poʻe ʻē aʻe kekahi e huakaʻi, e noi ana i kona ʻuhane e hana i nā makemake like ʻole.
