Jan 7

January 7 (1979) the Victory day for the Khmer People Revolutionary Party over the then Cambodian Communist Party ruled by the Khmer Rouge. The victory was made possible by the intervention of the Vietnamese communist armed forces and the group of former KR led by Heng Samring, Chea Sim and Hun Sen, and also Pen Sovann. It is celebrated today by the Cambodian People Party with around 20,000 people at the Conference Center in Koh Pich in Phnom Penh. The mood of the City is somber, after the crack down on protestors that killed 5 and wounded 4 dozens with @ 20 arrests.

It was also celebrated a few days before in Hanoi with NA President Chea Sim with Vietnamese friends.
