Viet authorities are learning Khmer Krom language and moving into Khmer Krom's villages and towns to try and infiltrate the Khmer Krom's social activities. Borders Kampuchea Krom (south Vietnam)-Cambodia, specifically in Swayton village, Mot Chruok(Chau Doc) province , news reported that large size of Vietnamese troops have been sent into the above border areas to monitor and spy on Khmer Krom's activities. Khmer Krom in the areas were forced to join Viet's committee on safeguarding the Vietnamese interests in Kampuchea Krom, by persuading local Khmer Krom to distrust and hate Khmer Krom overseas--in particular the Khmer Krom-Americans, who currently call for freedom and respect for human rights in their homeland Kampuchea Krom.
