00:00I, as a Thai youth, would like to address a serious situation that is currently happening at the Thai-Cambodian border.
00:17This is very important for the world to see and understand what is really going on.
00:22On July 24th, Cambodia has initiated hostilities, launching a long-range attack across the border into Thailand.
00:32But what they targeted was not the military base, not a battlefield.
00:37They fired directly at a convenience store at a gas station, where civilians, children, mothers, and the elderlies were simply going about their day.
00:47Innocent lives, who had nothing to do with any conflict, were taken in an instant.
00:54Some kids had just finished school, some were just grabbing a snack, but none of them made it home.
01:00This was not an accident.
01:03This was a deliberate act of violence and a shameful assault in full will of the world.
01:10Thailand's military, even under fire, has consistently upheld the principles of international law and humanity.
01:19Every response has been precise, targeting only military objectives, never civilians, never the defenseless.
01:28Cambodia shows otherwise.
01:30What they did was not only a violation of the international law, but it was a war crime.
01:36It was a betrayal of everything that defines human decency.
01:41As a Thai youth, I stand here today to condemn Cambodia's action in the strongest possible terms.
01:50This is not just a border dispute.
01:54It is a violation of Thai sovereignty.
01:57It is a brutal attack on innocent people, on life itself.
02:01I may not carry a weapon, I may not wear a uniform, but I have this platform, this social media space, and I will use it to speak the truth.
02:13To the world, please hear us.
02:16These lies must not be forgotten.
02:19These injustices must not fade into silence.
02:22To every Thai soldier who stands firm at the front line, thank you, you are not alone.
02:30Your courage is the answer to a question many once asked.
02:34Why do we need soldiers?
02:37Today, the answer is clear.
02:39Soldiers exist to stand where no one else dares to.
02:43To shield those who cannot protect themselves, to defend our home, our people, and our dignity.
02:51And I, a student, a youth, a voice, will not stay silent.
02:56Not until justice is louder and clearer than the bombs they use on our citizens.
