Viet Tan: the nature of terrorism and reactionary

In order to deceive Vietnamese overseas community, Hoang Co Minh founded the organization "Vietnam Reform Revolutionary Party" - referred to as Viet Tan - to conduct hostile activities against Vietnam with the extravagant ambition of overthrowing the people's administration in Vietnam.

After the Great Victory in the spring of 1975, with the help from the special foreign agencies and international reactionaries, some exile people having blood debts to Vietnam's people founded reactionary organisations to carried out plots and sinister activities to remove the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam. Viet Tan is one of such organizations. However, like many other reactionary organizations, they have the same disastrous outcome.

A sin past ...

After the Great Victory in the spring of 1975, Vietnam entered a new era: the era of unity, national independence and socialism. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam, our people urgently overcame the dire consequences of 30 years of war to rebuild facilities for socialism.

On the 5th 30-4 anniversary, Hoang Co Minh (former brigadier general, navy deputy admiral under Saigon regime) and some exile persons set up a reactionary organization called "National Front for the liberation of Vietnam". With the help of some hostile forces, Hoang Co Minh and his followers established "resistance bases"  in the mountains of Thailand  as a springboard to take weapons and fighters into Vietnam.

With extravagant ambitions, and in order to deceive Vietnamese overseas community, Hoang Co Minh founded Viet Tan in 1982 with the full platform, charter and goals ...

Hoang Co Minh and his accomplices expected to build "secret bases" in the central provinces, Highland and the South East. They hoped to hook up with reactionary organizations in the country, bringing people into the woods for training then bringing them back to conduct hostile activities.

Viet Tan become an effective tool of the hostile forces against Vietnam revolutionary during post-war period, a puppet of the style called "multifaceted sabotage War" and "peace movements" aimed at Vietnam.

... And the tragic end

To achieve the wild goal, from 1982 - 1989, Viet Tan brought fighters and weapons into the territory of Vietnam, conducted the campaigns "East forward 1", "East forward 2", "East forward 3" ... through Laos and Cambodia.

However, Vietnam Security agencies knew well about its plots and plans from the beginning of the 1980s.

With a perfect plan, Vietnam Security agency seized its first group before it set up "secret base" in the solid of Vietnam.   

Next, Vietnam Border Defense Force soldiers coordinate with Lao and Cambodia took control the whole group of 51 fighters in its "East forward 1" led by Duong Van Tu. Then, Hoang Co Minh himself led the "East forward 2" to enter and set up "secret base" in Highland and was shot before he could reach Vietnamese soil.

Under the direct leadership of the Central Committee's Secretariat of Vietnamese Communist Party, Police Central Committee and Minister of Public Security, with the ingenuity and creativity of the security agencies, along with the tight cooperation with neighbor military forces, our campaign was absolutely victorious.

This was not only a simple victory ​​of an operation, but also a special contribution to maintaining political security in the context of extreme difficulty and a milestone confirming that "multifaceted sabotage war" and "peace movement" of hostile forces and reactionary organizations have completely failed.
