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

In truth, I did not wish to speak about this issue. However, remaining silent may lead the Thai leadership to remain unaware, and the international community to misunderstand the situation. The Cambodia–Thailand border conflict has shifted from a war using weapons to one involving slingshots loaded with ball bearings and metal pellets.
At first glance, this may seem like a trivial or even humorous matter. But upon deeper examination, it is a serious issue.
If we do not intervene, it will escalate from slingshots to the use of all kinds of weapons, ultimately destroying the ceasefire agreement painstakingly reached by the Cambodian and Thai leaderships, with active mediation by the Prime Minister of Malaysia and participation from China and the United States.
As for Cambodia, if such actions are taking place, I urge the Royal Government to issue immediate orders to military forces to halt their use.
I also hope the Thai leadership will issue similar orders to their military to cease the use of weapons, as reflected in the attached images.
Cambodia has NEVER wanted war. Our country has been through enough wars (genocide even) already. We want nothing more than peace. So why would we start an attack after the ceasefire agreement? We have nothing to gain from it.
