It was founded in the country, Cambodia, by the Kampuchean United Front for National Salvation. The Kampuchean United Front for National Salvation is a group of Cambodian communists who were not satisfied with the Khmer Rouge due to its terrible rule of Cambodia and left it after the Cambodian–Vietnamese War of Democratic Kampuchea, Pol Pot's government.
