Immediately after its victory, the Communist Party of Kampuchea (Cambodia) ordered the evacuation of all cities and towns, sending the complete urban population out into the countryside to work as farmers, as the CPK was trying to reshape society into a model that its leader Pol Pot had conceived. Thousands starved or died of disease during the evacuation and its aftermath. Many of those forced to evacuate the cities were resettled in newly created villages, which lacked food, agricultural implements, and medical care. Many who lived in cities had lost the skills necessary for survival in an agrarian environment. Thousands starved before the first harvest. Hunger and malnutrition--bordering on starvation--were constant during those years. Most military and civilian leaders of the former regime who failed to disguise their pasts were executed.
