Thai troops continue to explode grenades and Cambodian villagers scared to return homes

Cambodian villagers who were displaced during the fighting between Cambodian and Thai troops last week are too scared to return homes as Thai troops continue to explode grenades every night near their campsite on the border opposite Phnom Trop, 5 km east of Preah Vihear temple.

Displaced villagers whose villages are located closer to clash sites are too scared to return home and still live in makeshift camps in Kulen district, 70 km from Preah Vihear temple. However, displaced villagers from Sa Em village, located about 20 km from Preah Vihear temple, and villagers from Tropeang Prasat and Anlong Veng districts in Oddar Meanchey province have begun to return homes.

Cambodian troops reported that since the ceasefire agreement on 7th February, Thai troops continued to throw grenades at Cambodian positions or explode them at their camp sites to provoke a fight with Cambodian troops, but Cambodian troops never responded.

Cambodian troops said last night, 14th February, Thai troops at Phnom Trop had lopped 11 hand grenades into Cambodian territory. At the same time, Cambodian troops and deminers had found many unexploded cluster bombs fired by Thai troops during the fighting at Phnom Trop from 4-7 February. They have also said that Thai troops had tried to sneak into Cambodian territory at night and also made a shooting spree at night time every night.

The Cambodian troops had also accused Thai troops of firing rockets and poisonous fumes toward Cambodian troops during a fighting on 6th February which have killed many wild chickens and causing Cambodian troops to get sick.

American can see from full High definition digital record from a satilite every movement and events record. Ask American about it but I doubt that American like Hun Sen regimes that is why American push thai army go to war with Hun Sen but not all khmer. This war is about American want Cambodia as Egypt, Tunasia.

American satilite can scan deep into the earth for oil, minerals...without need to go there and dig deep at all but why America always delay and delay and say couldn't find oil in Cambodia because Thai ask American to do that, so Thai can suck more oil from Cambodia side plus American already form big oil factory in thailand why US need to invest billions dollar again for nothing if thai can suck as much oil sell to US already. Think about it!

Cambodia soldiers should have fool proof evidence about Thai soldiers throwing grenades to Cambodia's territories before making this claim. Otherwise, it will only make Cambodia looks bad in ASEAN's eyes. Thai people are excellent at being a hypocrite. They smile in your face but behind you, they are evil...

Cambodia should accept the meeting with the JBC and the meeting with all the ASEAN members. But just need to play cool. Pretend everybody are friends. By refusing to attend the meeting, it will make Cambodia looks like the bad guy. But I hope all the those members will not attempt to push Cambodia to concede to Thailand since all of them are either of afraid of Thailand or a friend of Thailand. I hope they will use the map from the ruling as part of the conversation. IF everyone will reference this map, the issue will be resolved. But Thailand does not want this since it said the map is not valid. Cambodia really needs to get the ICJ and France to get involved since they were the two parties that were involved originally.

Only the country who has never been in the war who want war, but the country who had been in the war, never want to see the war again ever !!!!!!
If you don't give this country a choice, they will fight to defense themself with no problem because they delt with it before and they know what to expect. They saw death bodies, injuries, property damages, Suffering...ect.

Using conflict to promote political gain will backfire on the practitioner.
UN and US see big picture and plan for a long range and
ramification. North Korea is a headache, Cambodia will not become 2nd North Korea.
King and Queen dynasty is legitimate but political leaders should sprang from the people. Attempt to groom one to succeed the elder is not a national best interest.

I believe Cambodian troops more because the small guy (Cambodia) will never pick a fight with the big guy (Thailand). It is the big guy Thailand who always intimidate and provoke a fight with the small guy Cambodia first. This is the fact. There are more Thai soldiers on the ground with modern weapons, tanks and planes than Cambodian soldiers. With more troops and planes and tanks, the Thai are more likely to intimidate Cambodian troops by throwing grenades and provoke a fight.

If we have a good leader we will win in every situation. Singapoor is the size of Phom Phen and only has 5 millions people why Singapoor far far stronger than Cambodia and every country respect Singapoor. Why dose Singapoor has over 2 billion dollars US spend for her military per years? Think all cambodians! Think! It is all about leader!
