Combodia.
Cambodia, April 1975.
Pol Pot was removed from power in Cambodia in January 1979 when Vietnamese forces invaded the country, leading to the collapse of his Khmer Rouge regime. The invasion was prompted by ongoing border conflicts and the Khmer Rouge's brutal policies, which had resulted in widespread suffering and genocide. After the Vietnamese takeover, a new government was established, and Pol Pot retreated to the jungle, where he continued to lead the Khmer Rouge until his eventual capture and death in 1998.
