Why not Montagnards ?
I wonder why our government doesn't allow Montagnards to live in Cambodia like Australian refugees?

Re: Why not Montagnards ?
But those Montagnards are pitiful. Sending them to Vietnam is like sending them to the hell. They ban only Montagnards? How many foreigners have expire visa and how many illegal imagration of Vietnamese in Cambodia? We don't send them to UN or something else?

I think Cambodia should take them, but the government only cares about money and they have no money. I agree with you completely though, it isn't right.

Re: Why not Montagnards ?
I think so. but if they are not Vietnamese 's foe, I wonder if Cambodia government will use the forces to stopping Montaganards a crossing or not. Why they are seeking the villagers who help Montagnards ?MekongMouse wrote:I think Cambodia should take them, but the government only cares about money and they have no money.

Re: Why not Montagnards ?
I think the government wants to make Vietnam happy and they want to escape their obligations to refugees. If the montagnards never officially make it to Cambodia they aren't technically refugees.prahkeitouj wrote:I think so. but if they are not Vietnamese 's foe, I wonder if Cambodia government will use the forces to stopping Montaganards a crossing or not.

Re: Why not Montagnards ?
I wonder how they recognize Montagnards ? What happen if they learn Khmer or Vietnamese languge and never speak their language in the public?

I don't think they will be able to stay in Cambodia long enough to pass for a Cambodian. They will also need identity papers.prahkeitouj wrote:I wonder how they recognize Montagnards ? What happen if they learn Khmer or Vietnamese languge and never speak their language in the public?
These people are very poor so their needs don't count for much for the Cambodian and Vietnamese governments.
If they could get to Australia, maybe they would get sent here and Cambodia would welcome them ? It's all a bit crazy.
Re: Why not Montagnards ?
Because, like the Uighurs, they are political refugees from a benefactor country that wants them back. Cambodia's relationship with these benefactor nations is more important to the government than pleasing the UN by taking them in.prahkeitouj wrote:I wonder why our government doesn't allow Montagnards to live in Cambodia like Australian refugees?

Seems like ethnically they are closer to the Ratanakiri hilltribes than to Vietnamese or Khmer.

There is certainly a feeling of solidarity from the Jarai villagers toward these refugees, and they are taking risks to protect them.
Since October, more than 100 Christian Montagnards – an indigenous group from Vietnam’s Central Highlands – have risked their lives by crossing the border into Cambodia to flee alleged religious and political persecution.
Brave villagers.But residents of Lom village said the troops’ real mission was clear.
“First, they are here to stop Montagnards from crossing into Cambodia anymore. Second, they are looking for people helping the Montagnards,” said an ethnic Jarai villager, who has been assisting the asylum seekers in recent months and requested anonymity for fear of reprisals.
The villager, who continues to help Montagnards still hiding in the province, said it was wrong for authorities to seek their deportation.
“The Montagnards are mistreated in Vietnam, and if they are arrested and deported, they will be persecuted more and more.”
