We started our discovery of Cambodia's capital Phnom Penh. Evacuated and neglected in 1975, the city is now rebuilding in the anarchy of the opening to capitalism. It is a mixture of colonial buildings dilapidated buildings and flashy. It crosses more than elsewhere, filthy street children and brand new 4x4 ... 
For us, this step was also an opportunity to confront the reality of the genocide perpetrated by the Khmer Rouge . 30 years later, at a time when the Khmer Rouge appear responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity, it is always good to recall some facts and figures:
- The Khmer Rouge came to power after almost 10 years guerrillas in Cambodia and bombed heavily weakened by the Americans (damage collaterals of the Vietnam War).
- After the occupation of Phnom Penh, April 17, 1975, its entire population was deported to the countryside.
- This reign of terror led to the summary execution of tens of thousands of people and the enslavement of the entire population will die of exhaustion, hunger and disease.
- The regime fell in 1979 after occupation by the Vietnamese.
- In less than 4 years, the figures most reasonable estimate that 2 million deaths attributable to diet, 25% of the population, including almost all of intellectuals (teachers, professors, engineers, doctors ...).
In Phnom Penh we visited the detention center at Tuol Sleng, or S-21, a former high school converted into a torture center led by the infamous Duch and Choeung Ek, mass graves, which were executed men, women and children "opponents" in the plan ... ... images often unbearable hell This dive we also interviewed a lot. As always the face of such horrors, such absurdities of history, many questions and questions come to mind. A short blog post is probably not enough to go around.
This story seems incredibly recent (after all 30 years is nothing!) And the way we look on Cambodia can not be indifferent. To not stop there, we continue to read to understand the unimaginable ...
