PHNOM PENH: On Friday (July 4) morning, at the Ghost Mountain frontline, black-clad Thai soldiers once again carried out provocative manoeuvres against the Cambodian forces stationed along the border.

This was not an isolated incident. It is part of a long-standing pattern of aggression and encroachment that flagrantly violates Cambodia’s sovereignty and breaches the principles of international law.
