It is with sad greatness to know that majority of the people who are Khmer descent living in the Surin and Buriram have to run away from their home due to the border war! The border conflict would never happen if the Siem thuggish leaders respect International Court ruling!


Ah Abishit accused Cambodian military of sniping and inciting will not help the situation at the border because it is false accusation! Nobody know more about the sniping and inciting than AH Abishit himself because it is his government that used snipers to kill his political opponents in Bangcock before he use the same dirty tactic on Cambodian military!

Well...If the war start again the Siem leaders and the Siem military thugs will find enjoyment in firing endless of round of bombs and bullets on Cambodian military! Just keeping bombing and shooting at Cambodia! What choice does Cambodia have in retaliation? Cambodia will fight back!
