On February 28, 2023, the Dak Lak online outlet published an article “Cu Kuin District: Coercive land acquisition and site clearance, implementation of the Ho Chi Minh Road project in the eastern bypass of Buon Ma Thuot city.“
The content of the article is as follows:
“The People’s Committee of Cu Kuin district said that Cu Kuin district will conduct enforcement of land acquisition and site clearance for the Ho Chi Minh Road construction investment project in the eastern bypass of the Buon Ma Thuot city (section passing through Ea Tieu commune and Ea Ktur commune, Cu Kuin district).
Specifically: Apply measures to enforce land acquisition and site clearance for Viet Thang Coffee One Member Limited Liability Company; Ea Tieu Coffee One Member Limited Liability Company; Viet Duc Coffee One Member Limited Liability Company and related households and individuals are contracting, cultivating, on the land area of the above companies, due to failure to hand over the land. in Decision No. 1789/QD-UBND dated August 23, 2022 of the People’s Committee of Cu Kuin district, to implement the Ho Chi Minh road construction investment project in the east of the Buon Ma Thuot city, Dak Lak province (section through Ea Tieu commune and Ea Ktur commune, Cu Kuin district).
The time for enforcement of land acquisition and site clearance will take place in March 2023.
Up to now, Cu Kuin district has also established a Committee for enforcement of land acquisition and site clearance, headed by Vice Chairman of the District People’s Committee Le Phu Hanh.
The People’s Committee of Cu Kuin District assigned the Committee to implement the enforcement of land acquisition and site clearance (the District Department of Natural Resources and Environment is the standing agency to advise) to implement the enforcement of land acquisition and land clearance. equal to the provisions of the law.”
Above is the content of the article about the decision on enforcement of land acquisition in two communes Ea Tieu and Ea Ktur, Cu Kuin district. And so far, after 4 months of coercion, the bloody attak took place, killing 4 policemen and 2 commune officials.
This is a very serious case. If you dig deeper into the cause, it may also be because of the government’s hand that causes injustice. In history, there have been too many cases of Communist government grabbing people’s land. The case of Mr. Doan Van Vuon in Hai Phong, the case of Van Giang inHung Yen, the case of Duong Noi in Hanoi, the case of Dong Tam in Hanoi, the case of Loc Hung vegetable garden and the case of Thu Thiem in Saigon, etc…
The land robbery took place all over the country, in some cases, people were so frustrated that they used guns to kill officials and later committed suicide. In September 2013, Mr. Dang Ngoc Viet, a native of Ky Ba ward, Thai Binh city, opened fire on 5 site clearance officers, killing one person and injuring three others. The reason is that Mr. Viet was expropriated by the government over 180 square meters of land.
Large profits from land make officials greedy, using their power to impose low prices to forcefully occupy people’s land, then hand it over to businesses. The story of Thu Thiem is still very hot, although this story has long passed. The government paid the people the land recovery fee of VND18 million /m2, but after that, the business sold at VND350 million/m2. The Thu Thiem case has enriched many officials, however, so far, no city officials have been prosecuted.
Going back to the murder case that happened in two communes Ea Tieu and Ea Ktur, Cu Kuin district, Dak Lak province, this is most likely the result of a land robbery, with the result that the police of these two communes received bloody attack. The case needs to wait for more information, however, the possibility of land robbery is not excluded.
Vietnamese people are really miserable. The land is their greatest asset and the source of their livelihood. For profit, the government defied and caused injustice in numerous places in this S-shaped land. The Communist Party has always claimed to be “for the people” but robbing people is its way.
