Why is "Khmer Rouge" in French? Maybe a lack of knowledge from me. Did they refer to themselves in French, and it would have made of it an international name? Other? Or it's just a choice from the author the thread?

Cambodia used to be a part of French Indochina, so I guess they might have used French names when they started out? Like FNL in Vietnam.

Yes, yes, I know of the French background, but as in my country we of course say Khmer Rouge, I wondered if on this thread it was because that guys used themselves the French name (what I don't know), making of this one an international name, or if it was because of an other reason. You English speaking people, you say Khmer rouge in general?

     Yes, we refer to it as the Khmer Rouge as well.

Not in Sweden though. We translate it to Swedish, saying "Röda Khmererna."
