Kampuchean United Front for National Salvation
The Kampuchean United Front for National Salvation was a movement of Cambodian communists opposed to the Khmer Rouge, founded under Vietnamese sponsorship in December 1978. Its leaders, among them Heng Samrin, Chea Sim and Hun Sen, were former Khmer Rouge cadres who had fled to Vietnam. It accompanied the Vietnamese invasion and in January 1979 formed the government of the People's Republic of Kampuchea.
