Cambodian authorities are urging anyone living near former combat areas to report any unexploded ordnance to CMAC immediately. #BamBam#LaCasaDeLosFamososMx3
CMAC and international experts have confirmed the MK-84 bomb found in Oddar Meanchey was manufactured in 1996. Despite Thai authorities suggesting it was a remnant from past wars, the serial number tells a different story.
There are still 18 Cambodian soldiers in Thai custody. Thatโs the part I keep coming back to.
Iโve lived in Cambodia for 15 years. I love this country โ its people, its culture, its warmth. Iโve also seen how narratives get pushed, and I donโt always agree with how things are handled here.
But right now, Iโm setting that aside. Behind the politics are people on both sides, living with the fallout of conflict.
If peace is what both sides truly want, and I want to believe that, then why not send them home?
Babies, the elderly, the sick & other evacuees have been living in tents under 33-35ยฐC heat for nearly two weeks already. Imagine if they were your babies, kids or parents in these tents? They still canโt go home, fearing the Thai military may find excuses to break the ceasefire.
Amid the border conflict between Thailand and Cambodia has come a rise in reports of attacks on Cambodian migrant workers by Thai gangs. Bangkok-based rights and labor activist Phil Robertson discusses the Thai government's reaction. https://t.co/l0XvbOfe6L
Thai police and officials have systematically failed to take action against those attacking migrants from #Cambodia who are working in #Thailand. There must be no looking the other way on such attacks, those responsible must be held accountable -- what I said to @RadioFreeAsia. https://t.co/4WLVKp6e6y
