π¨ BREAKING NEWS: Michael Alfaro reports live from the CambodiaβThailand border, where Thai forces have built barbed wire fences, displaced families, and placed weapons facing innocent villagers β including children. Entire communities have been uprooted, schools and temples destroyed, and thousands forced to live in fear.
After President Donald J. Trump called for a ceasefire, 20 Cambodian soldiers were invited to the border under the pretense of peace. Instead, they were kidnapped. Only 2 have been released. 18 soldiers remain in captivity. We are calling on Thailand to release them immediately.
Now, word has reached President Trump directly. He has mandated that Cambodia and Thailand sit down for urgent talks β warning that if they fail to reach an agreement, the United States will pull out of both nations.
And just hours ago, Cambodia confirmed that their first round of talks with Thailand since the war broke out 17 days ago has taken place.
The people of Cambodia deserve peace, dignity, and respect. Farmers and families who want nothing but to live in safety must not be terrorized by aggression.
πΊ Watch Michaelβs border report, share it, and let the world know: the truth cannot be ignored.

The Cambodia-Thailand border dispute stems from a 1907 map, agreed by Siam & France, placing temples in Cambodia. Thailand rejects this, using its own map, escalating tensions. Cambodia seeks peace via the ICJ, but Thailand refuses. Why choose war over dialogue?
