Heng Ratana, Director-General of CMAC: stated that the landmines presented by Thailand to delegations from 33 countries and international partners were new mines, not devices removed from existing minefields. This means that Thai violated the Ottawa Convention because they obtained the mines. Thai lies the world. Don’t Thai to the world. #Don’tThaiToMe #ThailandViolatestheceasefire
Let me explain this a little more technically. During the recent visit of foreign delegations from 33 countries and several international partners, organized by the Thai Minister of Foreign Affairs, Thailand displayed a number of PMN-2 landmines.
The mines shown were intact and had not been detonated. Notably, their arming pins were still in place—yet once an arming pin is removed, it cannot be reinserted. This leads to a simple but critical question: if these mines were truly recovered from minefields where they had been laid for detonation, how could they still appear in an unused condition with arming pins intact?
The PMN-2 mine was developed in the 1970s as an evolution of the earlier PMN mine produced in the 1950s. Cambodia imported these mines during the conflict of the 1980s. Following the restoration of peace, Cambodia destroyed all remaining stockpiles in 1999 and officially declared that we no longer possessed such mines—a fact that has been fully recognized by the international community.
I can therefore confirm that the mines displayed by Thailand were not old mines removed from Cambodian minefields. If they had been, they would not have had arming pins intact. While it is technically possible to transport unexploded mines, the fact that these were packed neatly in boxes for display shows that they were not retrieved from active minefields, but rather prepared specifically for demonstration purposes.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨
Michael Alfaro — Trump consultant and diplomatic liaison — reporting from Cambodia’s border is under attack by Thai propaganda. They’re trying to silence him because his footage exposed the suffering of innocent Cambodian families and the captivity of 18 Cambodian soldiers. But the truth cannot be ignored: the people of Cambodia deserve peace.
Why? Because his footage showed the world what the mainstream media refuses to cover:
Barbed wire fences built by Thai forces
Families displaced from their homes
Schools and temples destroyed
Weapons aimed at innocent Cambodian villagers — including children
And most shocking: 20 Cambodian soldiers lured to the border under the pretense of peace, then kidnapped. Two have been released. 18 remain in captivity. We are calling on Thailand to release them immediately.
Michael’s reporting has already reached President Donald J. Trump. The President has mandated that Cambodia and Thailand hold urgent talks — warning that if they fail to reach agreement, the United States will pull out of both nations.
Just hours later, Cambodia confirmed that their first successful talks with Thailand since the war broke out 17 days ago have taken place.
The people of Cambodia deserve peace, dignity, and respect. Farmers and families who only want safety must not be terrorized by aggression.
