We would like to take a moment to acknowledge the heaviness many of us are feeling after the recent news of Thailand launching an airstrike against Cambodia.
Today, our minds keep returning to a post shared by a Cambodian daughter online, a story that reflects the fear of countless families across the border.
She was video-calling her mom, who couldnβt leave her home during the evacuation. Her mother told her sheβs old now, she has lived through this many times. In the video, she tried to smile, but her eyes were filled with tears. Her daughter was feeling completely helpless on the other side of the screen. It was gut-wrenching to watch, a moment no family should ever have to experience.
We, Cambodians, have already endured the catastrophic weight of war in our history. We did not welcome it then, and we refuse to accept it now. I stumbled upon a sentence today that hollowed me out:
βWe were told about war. We donβt want to tell about war.βThat line hits impossibly hard.
Itβs about families.
Itβs about children who do not deserve fear.
Itβs about parents trying to be brave while their hearts are shattering.
Itβs about communities forced to reopen wounds that were never fully healed.
Today, we stand with every Cambodian family holding their breath.
We stand with every mother who is trying to be strong for her children.
We stand with every person carrying the weight of uncertainty, grief, and memories they never wanted to relive.
May peace return.
May safety return.
And may no daughter ever have to hear her mother say, βItβs okay if I die,β ever again.

The Thai military has used a wide range of heavy weapons, including fighter jets and cluster munitions, to carry out acts of aggression against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Cambodia. Over the past eight days of armed aggression, the Thai military has deliberately targeted civilians, including civilian homes, villages, roads and bridges, schools, hospitals, and Buddhist pagoda, temples.
These attacks, involving heavy weapons, aerial bombardment, cluster bombs, and toxic smoke, have resulted in the deaths of 11 innocent Cambodian civilians, including one infant, and injuries to 59 others, as of 14 December 2025.
As of the evening of 14 December 2025, the number of people displaced by the Thai militaryβs armed aggression has reached 120,814 families, equivalent to 403,601 individuals, including 208,266 women and 97,209 children.
Thailand must bear responsibility for its acts of aggression against Cambodian territory and for deliberately targeting civilians. These actions constitute serious violations of international law and fundamental human rights. #TruthfromCambodia #CambodiaNeedsPeace #JusticeForCambodia #Thailandfirefirst #Thailandlying
