How have the events of the late 1970s continued to affect Cambodia today?

About 20% of the people of Camboida were killed in the space of about five years. In particular, the Khmer Rouge targeted those who stood out as successful in business or academic pursuits. This action deprived the country of some of its most elite talent. It will take a few generations for the country to recover from such a loss. In addition, the resistance movement of the Khmer Rouge persisted in the jungles until the late 1990s, instilling a sense of terror and uncertainty in the population at large that still impacts people today. People feared that a new reign of Khmer Rouge power could once again target those with religious beliefs, economic knowledge, or intellectual goals. A current effort is under way to put on trial the people responsible for the killing. The goal of such trials is to demonstrate to the people of Camboia and the world that the nation is ready to move on from the devastation of the past.
