The Often Overlooked Disturbing History of "Monatio."


There is a famous photo of a supposed "Khmer Rouge soldier" branding a handgun in Phnom penh in a black uniform trying to force an evacuation.

Unfortunately, the photo is amount one of the most miscaptioned in history.

The man in the photo is simply too clean, not exhausted enough, and if you study, is missing a key scarf and hat in the Khmer Rouge uniform. Khmer Rouge soldiers by the time entering Phnom Penh were exhausted and often sick from Malaria.

So what is the history behind this famous ill captioned photo?

Actually, ironically, it traces its origins not to the Khmer Rouge, but the political elite of the Khmer Republic under lon nol. The man in this now infamous photo is Hem Keth Dara, the leader of "MONATIO" , who in turn was manipulated by Lon Non (Lon Nol's calculating brother.)

According to François Ponchand, the handful of soldiers in the group looked like a poor imitation or parody of the Khmer Rouge, wearing black uniforms with some olive uniforms camo and civilian clothing thrown in, without the characteristic checkered scarf and mao hat.

The group was executed by the Khmer Rouge soon after, personally fitting into the definition of "useful idiots." Without them, disarming of FANK soldiers could not have occurred so rapidly and they did act practically as Traffic cops for the Khmer Rogue.

A key question is who was responsible. As I said before, many believe it was a ploy by Lon Non to somehow salvage the regime, as doomed as it was. In my opinion, a more plausible view is that Sihanouk used his connections to create this group to both ease Khmer Rouge entry in - additionally fool army officers he thought betrayed him into thinking remaining was safe. If this later case is true, and in my view due to Sihanouk's perverse influence, it likely is, it would show true callous regard of Sihanouk, as he would make a now lost film about the group glorifying the KR's slaughter of them.

By all accounts, the capitulation in the city, regardless of the terrible and unsustainable humanitarian situation was one of the worse decisions in Cambodian history, given the KR lacked the real strength for a frontal assault and according to CHhang Song, a plan for a last stand in Sihanoukville never materialized. Yet Monatio made the Khmer Rouge job as easy as slicing butter - and despite the fact they aided their countries destruction, a part of me feels slight pity for the naive youth manipulated.

Yes, the forums are largely based on rumor, but Sihanouk's collusions very likely given his suspicious movie that whitewashes his role.

Damn, imagine being manipulated and then just shortly executed, exile sounds better in almost every way

On the evacuation of cities:
>Moreover, the evacuation had indeed been preplanned, and not, as he asserted on another occasion, equally untruthfully, in February 1975, but the previous October. He was more honest at a meeting with Chinese journalists, when he admitted: ‘Until we had smashed all kinds of enemy spy organisations, we did not have enough strength to defend the revolutionary regime.’

>That much at least had a basis in fact. CIA officials, including the Chief Strategy Analyst in Saigon, Frank Snepp, later confirmed that the evacuation of the towns, where the agency had established secret radio terminals and clandestine spy cells, ‘left American espionage networks throughout the country broken and useless’.
