@EpochTimes Cambodia needs peace

🇰🇭🇹🇭 Caught on Cambodia’s Front Line As Cambodia and Thailand traded jabs at the U.N. General Assembly in New York this week, I was on the border of the land that lies between the two countries. A barbed wire fence now cuts across Prey Chan Village, sealing off Cambodian homes and farmland behind boundaries unilaterally imposed by the Thai military. Behind it lie the houses of six villagers who right now can’t return home. One grandmother wept as she watched the road to what used to be her farmland being laid with compacted sand by Thai construction workers. “Every day I look at my home and wonder if we will ever step inside again,” Hul Mliss said. “Every day it feels like there is less and less chance of that happening.” Meanwhile, her 3-year-old granddaughter played in the monsoon-beaten mud-plains by the open-air hammocks on which her family sleeps at night, yards from their barricaded home. The house’s blue rooftop jutted out of the foliage in the glaring mid-afternoon sun, trapped behind newly demarcated boundaries set up by the Thai military weeks ago. The Thai–Cambodia conflict has received little global media attention, but the human ramifications run deep. I am one of the only foreign journalists to have visited the affected areas in Cambodia, since most news organizations are in Bangkok and the borders are shut.

@rebtanhs Cambodia needs peace

As Trump alienates U.S. partners, one country is swinging in the opposite direction: Cambodia. One of China's staunchest allies has become infatuated with Trump. washingtonpost.com/world/2025/09/…

Cambodian mother protects her land against Thai invasion.

WATCH: A glimpse of the extent of damage made to a monastery in Oddar Meanchey, 2km from border clashes A monk told me shelling and bombings on Jul 24 killed one civilian and wounded 2

WATCH: This school which has 200 students with ages 3 to 15, was destroyed by shelling. It’s 2km from border clashes When shelling hit on Jul 24, it fell on a day when the school closes once a month for teachers’ meeting Nobody was hurt, a teacher told me

WATCH: My field report in Oddar Meanchey — a school that narrowly escaped casualties on Jul 24 clashes because it was closed for a monthly staff meeting, a teacher told me

8/8 On a lighter note, I’m reminded by how warm Cambodians are My team and I have witnessed support & love Cambodians have for one another While I’m expected to see the worst during such a time, I’m heartened I also manage to see the best in its people

OBSERVATIONS, REFLECTION FROM CAMBODIA-THAI COVERAGE 1/8 Many locals have thanked @ChannelNewsAsia for coming to Cambodia But thanks must also be given to the govt who responded to my appeal for me to cover the story here

Thailand deliberately violated the ceasefire at 11 a.m, this morning. Its heavily armed troops entered An Ses area within Cambodian sovereign territory…

Urgent: Thai armed forces have entered and surrounded the An Ses border area inside Cambodian territory in Preah Vihear Province— the same location visited by military attachés from 13 countries on July 30, 2025. According to Cambodian border police sources, “at approximately 11:00 a.m on Monday (August 4, 2025), Thai troops laid barbed wire in the area.” An act intended to provoke a response from Cambodia. Another senior police official said “This is a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement and an apparent attempt to escalate the situation into a larger conflict.”

We want peace, we don’t need war.
