The Thai armed forces callously attacked Cambodian territory, attempting to stir up trouble and capture it on film as supposed "proof" of a breach of the ceasefire. A despicable and underhanded ploy — but Cambodia will not be fooled. We are steadfast in our commitment to peace, honesty, and independence. 🇰🇭✊
Jacob, I got you a response to this straight from the kids' grandmother whose home is held in captivity by Thai forces.
Not all photos of kids are what they are in your head. You need a mental health checkup!
Im happy to meet with you so you can see who I am and who I work for
On September 27, 2025, at approximately 11:52 AM, Thai military forces initiated an attack on Cambodian military positions by firing many shots of motar and small arms at the Cambodian base in the An Seh area. As of now, the Cambodian armed forces continue to monitor this development with the utmost caution and attention, and are fully prepared to defend the territorial integrity.

Press Release
Phnom Penh, September 27, 2025:
Her Excellency Lieutenant General Maly Socheata, Under Secretary of State and Spokeswoman of the Ministry of National Defence of the Kingdom of Cambodia, wishes to inform the general public and national and international media outlets that:
On September 27, 2025, at approximately 11:52 AM, Thai military forces initiated an attack on Cambodian military positions by firing many shots of motar and small arms at the Cambodian base in the An Seh area. As of now, the Cambodian armed forces continue to monitor this development with the utmost caution and attention, and are fully prepared to defend the territorial integrity.
Cambodian armed forces reaffirm their firm commitment to respecting and fully implementing the ceasefire agreement between Cambodia and Thailand, emphasizing the importance of close cooperation at all levels and seeking concrete collaboration aimed at promoting peace and stability between the two countries. Cambodia also calls for a swift return to normalcy and urges Thailand to adhere strictly to respect and implement the ceasefire, as well.

Thai soldiers have reportedly fire smoke bombs, and used slingshots and air guns, during a standoff with Cambodian villagers who are trying to protect their homes in Prey Chan village, O Beichoan commune, Banteay Meanchey province, today September 17. At least 24 Cambodian people injured.
On the afternoon of September 17, 2025, Thai soldiers armed with shields, batons, and weapons continued their incursions into Cambodia by firing tear gas, rubber bullets, and using sound-disrupting devices that damaged hearing, targeting Cambodian civilians in Prey Chan village, O’ Bei Choan commune, Ou Chrov district, Banteay Meanchey province. These actions caused injuries to several civilians, including Buddhist monks. The Cambodian armed forces, while strictly upholding the ceasefire, stood firm to protect the safety of our people. #CambodianeedPeace
Cambodian villagers and local authorities in Chok Chey village, O’Bei Choan commune, O’Chrov district, on Monday successfully resisted an incursion by Thai troops who attempted to lay additional barbed wire inside Cambodian territory in Banteay Meanchey province.
Citizens resisted and used sticks to drive away the Siamese soldiers who continued encroaching to seize Cambodian citizens’ land in Ou Bei Choan commune, Ou Chrov district. We appeal to the international community and the ASEAN Chair to help stop the Siamese soldiers in this case.

🚨 BREAKING: Thailand has officially blacklisted Trump consultant Michael B. Alfaro & myself, Gary Franchi, Chief White House Correspondent for Next News Network — after our reporting on the Cambodia–Thailand border crisis reached millions, triggered President Trump’s direct intervention, and led 70,000 Cambodian monks to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Michael traveled to Cambodia during the August ceasefire period, after Trump warned both nations they would face tariffs if hostilities continued.
On the ground he met with Deputy PM Sun Chanthol, Tourism Minister Huot Hak, and spoke by phone with Prime Minister Hun Manet & First Lady Pich Chanmony.
He documented families displaced into plastic tents, schools & temples destroyed, and 18 Cambodian soldiers still being held captive by Thai forces after being lured to the border under a false “peace” meeting.
His livestream drew over 9 million viewers in just one hour, exposing the truth that mainstream media ignored.
I amplified those findings to millions more through Next News Network. As a White House-credentialed journalist who has reported from NATO & the White House press room, I’ve used my platform to ensure the Cambodian people’s voices were heard.
The response? A smear campaign launched by the Thai army & left-wing reporters, calling Michael a “lobbyist” and me “just a YouTuber.” Their intent was clear: discredit us to bury the truth.
And when that failed, they escalated: Thailand blacklisted Michael Alfaro — and targeted me by name — in a desperate attempt to silence our reporting.
But the truth is out. President Trump issued a dramatic ultimatum after reviewing Michael’s footage: Cambodia & Thailand must return to the table or face U.S. withdrawal & tariffs. Within hours, both nations held their first peace talks since the conflict reignited.
Now the Cambodian people call Michael a hero, and in September, Cambodian-American communities will honor both of us with a Champion Trophy for standing with them when few others would.
And today — history was made. 70,000 Cambodian monks just nominated President Donald J. Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, citing his role in ending the decades-long border conflict. This extraordinary moment is a direct result of the truth Michael exposed in Cambodia.
Thailand can blacklist us. They can smear us. But they can’t erase the fact that our reporting reached the President of the United States, helped force peace talks, and has now contributed to President Trump’s historic Nobel Peace Prize nomination.
Another video shows the damage caused by heavy artillery fire from the Thai military on Preah Vihear Temple, a #UNESCO World Heritage Site. On August 20, 2025, the Interim Observation Team (IOT), composed of five countries and led by the Malaysian military contingent, with participation from military contingents of Indonesia, Laos, the Philippines, and Vietnam, visited and inspected the area around the Preah Vihear temple complex that had been devastated by Thai military shelling in recent days. #Cambodia #Thailand #ExposeThailandLies
The Thai military once again entered Cambodian territory at 2:17 p.m. on August 17, 2025, in Prey Chan village, Ou Bei Choan commune, Ou Chrov district, Banteay Meanchey province. The Thai forces surrounded the village with black cloth, covering six houses in the area. Source:BTV

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Michael Alfaro reports live from the Cambodia–Thailand border, where Thai forces have built barbed wire fences, displaced families, and placed weapons facing innocent villagers — 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 — 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.
📺 Watch Michael’s border report, share it, and let the world know: the truth cannot be ignored.
