Just because Thailand is bigger and has more media coverage, Cambodia is a villain now? My name is Srey Nea. I'm not a politician. I'm not a soldier. I'm just a daughter of Cambodia. My content is usually only about beauty, self-love, and daily life. But today, I need to speak from a deeper place because my country, Cambodia, is being hurt, and we are being blamed for it now.
They didn't just attack — they twisted the story both inside their country and to the global community, and that deeply hurt us. But the truth is not decided by wealth or power, it's decided by integrity. Just like we judge a person not by their words but by their actions, we must do the same for our country.
Thailand claims to love peace, but look at their actions:
First, Thai forces entered and shot a Cambodian soldier dead.
Second, Cambodia asked to settle this matter peacefully at the ICJ, but Thailand refused.
Third, Thailand closed the border one-sidedly.
Fourth, they threatened to cut our electricity and internet.
Fifth, recently, a Thai citizen assaulted a Cambodian officer and ran away.
And there's even a video of Thai people hurting and abusing Cambodians in their own country.
Sixth, and even before the violence began, Thailand expelled the Cambodian ambassador and recalled their own.
And there are still many more. Are these the actions of a peace-loving neighbor?
Because I want to ask you one question, from one human to another:
What is Cambodia's benefit in this situation?
We're just a small country. Our people are fewer. Our economy is still developing. And we just recently healed from our last civil war.
We lived through war before. We lived through genocide. We know the cost of violence. So what is our benefit in this situation?
And today, I'm just one citizen using the only thing I have — my voice — to ask the world to see this clearly.
Don't just believe what you hear. Look at the actions. Look at the truth. And then decide.
I can only speak for myself, as a daughter of Cambodia. I can tell you what I want:
I want peace.
I want truth.
I want dignity.
