The map of Khmer Empire from 12th-13th century, extending as far as China to the north, as far as Malaysia to the south and as far as Burma to the west.
I am not a politician. I am like any other Cambodian people, we like peace. We don’t want to make any war against anybody, especially our neighbors. That was our own mistake that have lost a lot of lands. This is the history. We need to accept what happened and learned from it.
After years of war, Cambodia found its stability, both on politics and economy.
Anybody will ask the same question, why Cambodia want to make war with Thailand? Even before this, who started to send troops to border and made up everything?
We need to come out of the box. We need to isolate ourselves from the Thais media. Don’t let them fool you around. Thailand has power in the media and weapons. They smiled and talked anything they want. People will listen to them. They are good in acting. Hollywood should make a film about them.
Cambodian government position is remain the same: we will protect our territory and don’t let anyone invade our country. This is a very clear statement made by our PM. We are not good in distracting people from the reality. If you invade, we fire. This is the simple logic, moreover it is a natural reaction.
Cambodia has no intention or provoke any war with Thailand. We need time to rebuild the country, we have enough bad memory with war. There’s no reason for a country to make war with another country that has stronger economy of 26 times than its own. The Cambodian army spent $191 million in 2009, compared with $4.9 billion for the military in Thailand, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (source).
Thailand keeps repeating that Cambodia started to fire first. They are protecting their territory. These are the series photos of a Thai’s base that they are using to fire into Cambodia territory. Do you feel any protecting gesture? The journalist also confirmed there’s no sign of firing back from Cambodia.
And check out the result from this video, Thais’ rackets bombed on Cambodian villages and make thousands of people homeless.
They also mentioned the 3 F16 jets flying around the fighting area is on training. If you believe what they said, the world is so blind. UN is blind, USA is blind. How can you ask Cambodia to restraint when Thailand is invading their country. Asean can’t do anything. They can’t make Thailand accept the observers. But we are grateful for the efforts of the Indonesia FM.
The war still continue as long as Thailand has two colors: yellow and red. They will continue to use border issue to save their political crisis. On the other hand, their nonsense behaviors will give bad image of Thailand to the world.
I believe a lot of Cambodian people feel very upset with Thais. We are neighbors for a thousand years. It is sad to see this thing happened. I hope the world will see the reality and react in the right way to finish this war.
Let’s share your opinion about this matter and help to share information from Cambodian sides, so that the world can see from both sides. You can follow me at twitter for more update on the issue.
