Dear Radio Free Asia,
Don't classify us as Vietnamese ethnic minority Montagnard. We are the owner of the land. Communist Vietnam came to our land they are must be a minority, not us.

Reply to this commentDoes anybody doubt that killing more than half a million Dega people during and after the Vietnam War and until present times (Dega’s population over one million before 1975) is genocide? According to the UN convention killing this half million Dega person is (a) killing members of the group of Dega people. This (b) causing serious bodily or mental harm to the Dega people when we were being arrested, tortured, imprison because we demand to return our ancestral lands, our rights of self-determination and to teach our children as we want them to be in our language, (c) deliberately inflicting condition of life by taking all our lands and settling Vietnamese ethnic in every place Dega people living calculated to bring about our physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) imposing measures intended to prevent birth within Dega people by not allowing Dega woman to have more two children and turn Dega woman as thing to buy and sell and out bread, (e) forcibly transferring Dega ‘s children to the Vietnamese group by imposing policy of assimilation and not teaching them in their mother tongue.

Reply to this commentRight at this moment, the whole world is greatly concerned with COVID-19, a disease caused by the coronavirus. This deadly virus can be affected by every single human on this planet if the quarantine efforts do not take place. However, the Dega people in the Central Highlands in Vietnam have been exposing to a similarly deadly virus that is a virus of genocide. This virus has insidiously affected every single Dega person since the Vietnam War until the present time and cause them to lose lands, linguistic death, identity and cultural extinguished…Only Dega people continue affected by this kind of virus, for the reason this virus is leaking from the genocidal policies of the communist Vietnam .regime.

All ethnic minorities in Vietnam have been persecuted and oppressed, yet they don't get the same attention as Tibetans or Uyghurs. The Chams, Khmers, Montagnard, and other ethnic minorities deserved support of the West whom the ethnic minorities helped during the Vietnam war. 16 years in jail for demanding land rights. That is insane.
