Champa independence movement

The Champa independence movement was an independence movement by the Cham people seeking secession from Vietnam. Primarily demanding the return of the former historical Champa states of the central and southern coast of Vietnam, also sometimes including the Central Highlands who are indigenously similar to the Chams and due to their long historical ties with the Champa. According to international researchers, Cham separatism today and their notion of nationhood is almost non-existent.
