"The Kampuchean Struggle for National Survival" by Thiounn Mumm provides a firsthand account of Kampuchea’s resistance against Vietnamese occupation in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It outlines Vietnam’s expansionist ambitions, dating back to the 1930 founding of the Indochinese Communist Party, and details the 1978 invasion that brought 250,000 Vietnamese troops into the country. The text highlights the revolutionary policies of Democratic Kampuchea before the invasion, including large-scale irrigation projects, industrial expansion, and agricultural self-sufficiency, which clashed with Vietnam’s regional goals. It also documents the displacement of over 50,000 civilians and the armed resistance that prevented the complete annexation of Kampuchea. With references to U.N. resolutions 34/22 and 35/6, this document remains a significant record of the fight for national sovereignty and independence.
