Kampuchea Krom: The Day to Remember

On this day in history June 4th, 62 years ago, with a stroke of a pen, French President Francois Auriol signed the law transferring the whole Kampuchea Krom into law. It is a vast territory covering the Mekong delta of 68,965 square kilometers, with 21 provinces, 2 large islands (Koh Tral and Koh Tralach), incorporating 171 districts, with 567 temples with over 10,000 Buddhist monks.
    The Khmer Krom Federation (KKF) was formed to fight for the rights for self determination of their people. It is a noble cause that deserved to be supported. the KKF was recognized by the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization (UNPO), a branch of the United Nations Organization (UNO).
