Correspondents Students learn of need to remove Cambodian land mines Nobody really knew what to expect as we shuffled into the gymnasium last Tuesday ' morning. The man in front of us introduced himself as Richard Fitoussi, a photojournalist and graduate ' of Ryerson University. Fitoussi is presenting slide shows to schools throughout Ontario about his recent three-week expedition in Cambodia. To me, Cambodia was the tiny circle of purple that I once coloured in Geography class. It was a little country ,that could havebeen in Africa or some other corner of the world. but it had • nothing to do with me. or my little corner of the. world. Judging by the silence that followed the question. "Does anyone know where : . Cambodia is?", I suspect that - I was not alone. •It turns out, Cambodia is just west of Vietnam. in Southeast Asia. It Writs out - that Cambodia has suffered losses in the ten millions, a death toll larger than the Holocaust. Itis perplexing to think that the murder and mutilation of millions of people could be so neglected. "We kind of live in a bubble here." Fitoussi - suggested.:The awe and horror that swept like a wave over the audience substantiated his reasoning. . Currently. there are ten .. million landmines and -ten million Cambodians- There are 143 mines per square • kilometre. The mines are the remnants of a political battle -that began in 1970s with the massive bombing attack. • ordered by President Nixon and ended in 1981 when the UN took over the country. More bombs were dropped on Cambodia and its neighbouring country. Laos in four months than -in th SDHS Bear Facts entire duration of World War One.`These bombs -were an - attempt to prevent the spread of communism. but they . didn't deter a school teacher named Polpot from publicly • expressing his communist . beliefs. . -• When the government began to see Polpot as a threat. he escaped into the forest' and trained uneducated .. peasants to join his army. After the bombings ended in • 1975, Polpot and his army. • the Camare Rouge. were left to reign over'Cambodia. Polpot immediately began to gather all soldiers of the former government's - National Army. and.all educated people. including - doctors and teachers, and took them on buses to the killing fields io be executed. Families were torn apart: mothers; fathers and children were all placed in separate camps, as now -the 'Onca' . was the only familv.- Fitoussi met a man• that had witnessed the execution of his own mother. and was forced to Clap and yell "Yeah. Oka!" in order to prove that he was allegiant to the Onca. - • - Two- million 'people died in these work camps. from .-'malnutrition orexhaustion.'A picture of _a pile of skulls was projected on the screen as Fitoussi stated that.another- two million people were - murdered in the killing' ' fields: Cambodians thought that the horror ss .is over when Polpot was, exterminated and the U- N - took o\cr the country. Howcvcr. .eNera! million people have since been killed from the remaining' landmines. Fitoussi's presentation is an efhirt to educate. students on international issues and to raise money for the removal Of landmines -in Cambodia. e .
