Anyone here an expert on the country? Doing an essay on the differences between NZ and Cambodia and why they've come about (from a state perspective). My main point is that genocide happened which damn near collapsed their country!(Genocide in Cambodia that is )

Any thoughts?

Well, America bombing the living daylights out of them in the early 1970s didn't help either. That whole decade was an absolute tragedy for that country.

There was a good documentary on some of the consequences n Discovery a while back, but unfortunately I can't remember what it was called. So I guess I haven't helped at all...

Yeah thats what i'm talking through, just found some bloody interesting articles on the psychology behind who they choose to kill during the genocide, fascinating stuff (I guess that makes me sick in the head )

I seem to remember from my south east asian politics paper you can get some basic summation of the relationship between NZ and Cambodia on the MFAT website, maybe also through something to do with ASEAN

It's been 13 weeks since we stabbed anybody, and in that time we've played both of our hated rivals...

Can't we all dance the polka of forgiveness, and put this unpleasantness behind us?
