Thai soldiers came in to prevent a construction inside Cambodia

Cambodian border defense officials in Oddar Meanchey province reported that black-clad Thai soldiers from Thailand’s Sisaket province came into Cambodia to prevent the construction of a gas station located next to the borderline, but inside Cambodia. The Thai soldiers ordered the stop of the construction claiming that it affects the borderline which has not been resolved yet.

Lieutenant-Colonel Toch Ra, the deputy director of the Cambodia-Thailand border liaison group in Choam Sra-ngam entry point, Anlong Veng district, said on Wednesday 10 October that a group of black-clad Thai soldiers prevented the construction of a private gas station located close to the borderline, but inside Cambodian territories, a few days earlier. The Cambodian authority agreed to this request, but it refused to comply with the Thai demand to demolish the station because it is located on Khmer lands.

Toch Ra said: “The concrete gasoline stockpile station was being built, the concrete was poured in a few days ago, they (Thai) told us to put a stop (to the construction) because it is located in unclear border zone. Therefore, we keep it as it is, if there is any problem with its demolition, the (border) committee at the national level must resolve this issue.”

Cambodian border defense troops consider this obstacle (imposed by Thailand) on the construction of a gas station inside the Cambodian border, as a violation on the border treaty (between the two countries).

Chim Phanna, the Anglong Veng district governor, said that, during the Khmer Rouge era, the borderline next to which the gas station was built was under the control of Ta Mok, it was Cambodian territories, and no Thai soldiers ever dare come to make any claim about it being a “white zone” or an unclear border zone. “During the Khmer Rouge era, we occupied that territory, we consider it as our lands, but later on, they called it a forbidden zone,” Chim Phanna said.

Var Kim Hong, the chairman of the Cambodian border resolution committee, said that he cannot comment on this problem because he did not receive any information for the local authorities yet. “How can I give an opinion? If they (Thai soldiers) came in, I did not know, the local authority did not send me a report,” Var Kim Hong said.

On Wednesday, the Thai embassy in Cambodia could not be reached to obtain further clarifications.

According to Cambodian border guards, border problems in the Choam Sra-ngam are frequent: on 04 September, a group of black-clad armed Thai soldiers came in to stop de-mining operations performed by the Halotras group in an area near the gas station. In 2006, Thai soldiers brought in about 30 prefabricated steel buildings and installed them in the area where they claimed that the border zone is unclear. These buildings still remain there now.

When you have an uneducated leader like Ah Hun Sen or Ranarith or Sihanoukist, your country will be destroyed by these bad leaders. They don't care how many innocent Cambodian or territory killed or encroached by neighbors; they only care about their obsolete power lasting for internity. Even Hanoi killed our innocent people at the border, or black Thai soldier come into our territory to stop us from doing things in our land, no Khmer leaders stand up against these countries.

You idiots, the Thai is doing the right thing. You can't build anything near the border until the dispute is settled. What happened if the gas station end up on the Thai territory after the border settlement. How are you going to move it to the Cambodia side?

Here is how stupid Hor Nam Hong and stupid Hun Sen need to do for solving the border agreement with Vietcong and Thaicong as Honduras and Nicaragua did in the UN court. Not just doing secretely with Hanoi and Thaicong. These treaties that Hun Sen and Sihamony did with the Hanoi are all illigal document:
"The U.N.'s highest court Monday granted Honduras sovereignty over four Caribbean islands in its decades-old dispute with Nicaragua, and carved up rich fishing grounds and offshore exploration concessions for oil and gas." from Yahoo News under Latin American.

This is what I don't understand!

AH HUN SEN, AH SVAR KIMHONG, AND WHORE NAM HONG always think that the Vietcong government and the Thaicong government is the United Nations for Cambodia and that is the reason why none of these Vietcong slave dare to consult with real United Nations to help solve Cambodian border dispute and these fucken Vietcong slaves allowed the fucken Thaicong government and the fucken Vietcong government to create all sort of zones such white zone along Cambodian border!

There will be a day the Thaicong and the Vietcong will find themselves in International Court!

Yes khmer people, these neighbor country is taking advantage of our people and land.


What, khmer people really need to do is support each other. First, we need to support everything khmer from the " ground " and up !!! For example, Ophanage housing, school, and medical clinic. Once, khmer people can get back on their feet. Until then, They can't really protect themself or their family. Until Then, HOW are they gonna be able to defend themself from the vietcong and ThaiCong???


Com'on khmer people. We really need to think about it! And what need to be done. I know it easy said then done. But it possible if all the elements put in place for the better future of our people and country.
