The Khmer People’s National Liberation Front (KPNLF) was a political front organized in 1979 in opposition to the Vietnamese-installed People’s Republic of Kampuchea (PRK) regime in Cambodia. The 200000 Vietnamese troops supporting the PRK as well as Khmer Rouge defectors had ousted the brutal Democratic Kampuchea regime of Pol Pot and were initially welcomed by the majority of Cambodians as liberators.
