I hope the world will hear this small voice—this is a voice of pain from Cambodia, a country that is currently being violated by Thailand, yet being painted by Thailand as the one who started the war.
1. Thailand told the world that Cambodia was the one who fired first, when in fact, it was Thailand who started it.
Not only that, but Thailand has also distorted the truth both within their own country and to the global community.
This act has deeply hurt the Cambodian people—being violated and then blamed by a more powerful neighbor just because they have more money and international influence.
But we believe truth is not measured by money or power—it is measured by integrity.
Just like how we judge a person not by their words but by their actions, the same should apply to countries.
Thailand claims to love peace and to be doing good—but look at their actions:
1. Thai forces entered and shot a Cambodian soldier dead.
2. Cambodia requested to settle the matter peacefully at the ICJ, but Thailand refused.
3. Thailand unilaterally closed the border.
4. Thailand threatened to cut off electricity and internet supply to Cambodia.
5. Just a few days ago, a Thai citizen assaulted a Cambodian officer and fled.
6. Before the attacks even began, Thailand expelled the Cambodian ambassador and recalled their own.
So I ask—are these the actions of a peace-loving country? Or a good neighbor?
Cambodia is an old country that has suffered through so much pain and oppression.
All we ask for is peace. We are a small nation with a small population—how could we even dare to invade Thailand, a country so much larger?
This is a message written by an ordinary Cambodian citizen, with nothing but the hope to show the world the truth and ask for justice.
Don’t take my word for it—please look at the facts for yourself.
