High Ranking Cambodian Army Woman Optimistic On Peace Talks
Maj. Neou Nou, the army's top woman and a 12 child mother, says she led secret talks with the Khmer Rouge five months ago as Lon Nol envoy. She reports the high command rejected demands but remains hopeful Premier In Tam can secure an end to the war and notes bombing harms civilians. She describes meetings near Angkor Wat and along the Mekong, and says ranks for Khmer Rouge were demanded but not accepted. She leads a women’s battalion, with 2,000 to 3,000 combat-capable soldiers among 7,000 women, and argues women are as brave as men in Cambodia’s fight.
