The REDD+ scheme operates on the belief that the projects will advance conservation projects while helping people who live there. But it's hard to imagine that possibility when residents aren't consulted & operate on land that overlaps with mining.

Between 7:00 am and 2:30 pm, the Thai military launched approximately 250 artillery shells into Chouk Chey village, while Prey Chan was struck by about 110 shells during the same timeframe.

In Cambodia, a woman’s ability to plan her family might hinge on something as simple as owning a motorcycle. A recent nationwide study found that women with their own motorbikes were nearly a third more likely to use modern contraceptives, highlighting how transportation can dictate reproductive health outcomes and impact the country’s progress toward global health targets.

At 11 a.m. this morning, Thai armed forces, accompanied by heavy machinery such as excavators, entered An Ses area in Cambodian sovereign territory, and even laid barbed wire, despite strong objections from our forces. It is also worth noting that Cambodia recently arranged a visit by foreign military attachés to those locations on July 30, 2025, clearly demonstrating that these areas are part of Cambodian sovereign territory.

This act constitutes a flagrant violation of the ceasefire and poses a grave threat to peace and security along the border between the two countries, as well as to the wider region. Cambodia calls on the international community — particularly partner countries that have worked tirelessly to help achieve this hard-won ceasefire and wish to see it fully and effectively implemented — to demand that Thailand immediately stop its aggressive actions and strictly respect international law, especially Cambodia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Thai military used fake friendly handshakes to capture 20 Cambodian soldiers hours after the ceasefire. Thai military released two who appeared severely tortured while continuing to hold 18. Now on August 3, you're re-provoking tensions, spreading fear and chaos among Cambodians.

@tommywalkerco When Thailand arrested them, they were in normal condition.
But when they were sent back to Cambodia, one came back disabled and the other with a damaged memory 🥹
What about the others who are still left behind? What has happened to them? 🥺

To my fellows Thai Buddhist why you let your people equip inhuman and lie in their heart ????
Our soldiers were captured in good condition both physically and mentally yet come back one mentally ill and other physically fragile. This is inhumane. And they swore to not fight against Thailand again?…. They injured our soldiers, made up story and forgot the story they just made up in the same sentence.

Shown in this picture by the Cambodian Mine Action Center (CMAC) is a Thai MK-84 bomb that was dropped during the border clashes.

It weighs nearly one ton, measures around 3.5 meters, and contains more than 500 kg of explosive.

Heng Ratana, director-general of CMAC, said on July 30 that MK-84 is the largest variant in its family that includes MK-81, MK-82, and MK-83. This MK-84 variant was rarely dropped during the Indochina War.

The firsthand experience of the cruel, savage, and ruthless treatment inflicted by Thai authorities and civilians on desperate Cambodian refugees in 1979 is echoed in the recent deceitful act by Thai forces, who abducted around 20 Cambodian soldiers during a ceasefire.

[Monovithya Kem (កឹម មនោវិទ្យា) @KemMnv]

Where are the headlines from international media on Thailand’s use of cluster bombs or the kidnapping of 18 Cambodian soldiers after ceasefire? Both of which 🇹🇭 boastfully confirms. Media, you risk losing credibility w/ Cambodian public on other issues, this is dangerous.

"Thai aggression is the result of premeditated planning at the highest level of the military in coordination with other government institutions," Cambodian UN Envoy Keo Chhea told an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council on July 25.

The Thai military’s repeated deployment of cluster bombs against Cambodian forces has dredged up painful memories of the 2008 border conflict—memories still fresh for communities living in the shadow of war.

On July 25, Lieutenant-General Maly Socheata, spokesperson for Cambodia’s Ministry of National Defense, confirmed that Thai forces used cluster munitions in attacks on Phnom Kmoch and Techo Thamacheat village in Preah Vihear province.

Innocent Children Impacted by Ongoing Armed Conflict

PHNOM PENH – Many children have sought temporary shelter amid ongoing border clashes between Cambodia and Thailand.

Displaced by the violence, families have been forced to leave their homes, with children losing access to schooling and basic necessities.

The Cambodian Education Ministry reports that ongoing border conflicts have impacted 130,000 students and teachers across 14 cities and districts in border provinces as the fighting enters its third day.

The UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) also called for both sides to maintain “maximum control," emphasizing that children must be protected at all times and schools should stay safe spaces for learning.
