with $100,000 each for the 24 women players which total sum is approximately equivalent to
0:13
3.6 6 billion naira based on 1,500 naira exchange rate to a dollar pegged
0:20
by the president for the 2025 financial year in the country. And in addition,
0:26
the president gifted the 11 member technical team of the Super Falcons $50,000 each, which approximately
0:33
represent a total of $825 million naira, bringing the total cash
0:38
gift to 4 bill425 million naira. During the presentation,
0:44
President Boler Ahmed said he never wanted to watch the match because he did not want to have high blood pressure,
0:51
adding that the Super Falcons kept him hungrier as his wife. The first lady of
0:56
Nigeria, Olarmy Tanubu, was at the kitchen preparing his food while watching the match, emphasizing, "The
1:03
first lady almost abandoned his dinner because of the football match and the super falcons on Monday could be seen
1:09
singing, praising, and dancing with the first lady. Olore tonubu by thus reversing the negativity of the popular
1:16
viral song of n your mama be this to now our mama be this to accept the first
1:22
lady as the mother of all in the nation which could be recalled that earlier in the year specifically in the month of
1:29
March the first lady senator Oli Tonubu was at the dome events center in Asaba
1:35
in Delta state as part of her renewed hope initiative project and during her visit a video clip of Nigeria nursing
1:42
students rejecting the first lady as the mother of all in the nation went viral and became a popular song that was
1:49
remixed by many to their desired tastes and lyrics. After the viral clip showed the events master of ceremony had
1:56
introduced Olarmy Tan to Nubu as everyone's mother, a common title for first ladies in the country, the nursing
2:03
students refused to accept the designation. And when the MC declared, now our mama be this, translated as this
2:10
is our mother, the students responded in unison, na your mama be this, translated
2:16
as this is your mother, signaling their rejection of the title. According to
2:21
Beao Onuga, the spokesperson to the Nigeria president on media, President
2:26
Bonatubu has conferred national honors on all 24 players and the 11 member
2:32
technical team of Nigeria's senior women's national football team, the Super Falcons, following their historic
2:39
victory at the 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations, WFC,
2:46
in Morocco at the presidential reception held in their honor.
2:51
President Tonubu awarded each player and technical crew member the title of officer of the order of the Niger O. He
2:59
also directed the allocation of one three-bedroom apartment to each player and technical crew member in the
3:05
government's renewed hope housing scheme. The president approved a cash award of the Naira equivalent of
3:11
$100,000 to each of the 24 players and $50,000 equivalent to each technical
3:17
team member. You have inspired millions, especially young girls who now see proof
3:23
that the dreams are valid and achievable. You have inspired me, too. And it's great for a nation to have
3:29
assets that are the hope of today, tomorrow, and the day after. You represent that hope. You ignited that
3:36
hope, and we will continue to encourage you, the next generation, and other generations after you, President Tonubu
3:44
said amid cheers from the jubilant team. The president recounted the emotional moments of the final match, noting how
3:51
the team's performance lifted the nation's spirits and united Nigerians from all walks of life. Your victory
3:58
represents more than a sporting accomplishment. It is a triumph of courage, determination, discipline, and
4:05
consistency. Honestly, I didn't want to watch the match. I didn't want to have
4:10
high blood pressure, but people came in and turned my TV on that channel. When
4:16
it was 2 to zero, I got very offended and restless. But I was still watching
4:21
with the spirit of resilience, determination, and courage. And after that penalty, my strength was lifted.
4:29
And I believe that of the nation was lifted, too. But you almost made me angrier, hungrier, because your mother,
4:36
the first lady, was in the kitchen nearly abandoning my dinner. She doesn't watch the game except when the girls are
4:43
playing. And at the end of the final whistle, it was joy all over the country, he said. The president assured
4:50
the team of his administration's continued support and commitment to sports development, pledging that the
4:56
government would invest further in women's football and youth talent development across the country. Your
5:02
story is a story of hope and in this era of renewed hope, we celebrate you not
5:07
just as champions of Africa but as champions of the Nigerian dream. In a
5:12
further show of appreciation, the chairman of the Nigeria Governor's Forum, NGF, Governor Abdul Rahman Abdul
5:20
Razak also announced a donation of 10 million naira to each of the players and technical team members on behalf of the
5:27
36 state governors. The first lady, Senator Oli Tanubu, described the Super
5:33
Falcons as role models and shining examples of courage and excellence. She
5:38
congratulated the team for their exceptional performance and unwavering spirit, describing their journey as a
5:44
testament to resilience, teamwork, and determination. You played with passion,
5:50
confidence, and an unshakable belief in yourselves that it is not over until it is over. The zeal you displayed on the
5:57
pitch was nothing short of inspirational. You never wavered and reminded the world why Nigeria remains a
6:04
powerhouse in African women's football. The first lady prayed for the team's continued success and shared an earlier
6:11
conversation with President Tonubu about the team's bright future as world champions. I told Mr. President this
6:19
morning that you were going on to win the World Cup and he thought I was too ambitious. But Ajabad the team captain
6:26
just seconded that and that is possible. He said Super Falcon's captain Rashid
6:32
Ajabad said the victory was for the team and for every Nigerian girl who dreams of achieving greatness. Today I stand
6:40
before you not just as the captain of the Super Falcons but as a proud daughter of Nigeria carrying the dreams,
6:47
resilience and spirit of our great nation. She said, "On behalf of my
6:52
teammates, coaches, and technical staff, I express our heartfelt gratitude for
6:58
this warm reception and the unwavering belief you have shown in us." Emphasizing the significance of the 10th
7:04
WFC title, the team captain said, "This victory is not just a trophy. It is a
7:12
testament to the unyielding spirit of Nigeria. It is a celebration of every young girl in our villages, towns, and
7:19
cities who dares to dream. This 10th title is for you, Mr. President, for
7:25
Nigerians, for super falcons, and for every young child who believes and dreams to be on this stage someday.
7:32
Ajabad called for continued support from the government and stakeholders to elevate Nigeria's global standing in
7:39
women's football. Chairman of the National Sports Commission, Sheru Diko,
7:44
described the team's victory as a symbol of national unity, inspiration, and the triumph of belief, courage, and
7:51
excellence. Do credited President Tonubu's administration with investing in sports development, and women's
7:58
empowerment. The Super Falcon's triumph is a fruit of your unwavering support
8:03
for sports and women. You have always believed that sports can unite us, heal
8:08
us and uplift our spirits as one of the major drivers of the economy. And today
8:14
we have seen it happen, he stated. He commended the first lady, Senator Ol
8:19
Tonubu, for her constant support for our women in sports. This win goes beyond
8:26
sports. It is a powerful symbol of our national unity and cohesion. In those 90
8:31
minutes, Nigerians everywhere from the north, south, east and west held their
8:36
breath, prayed together, cheered the team and finally celebrated together.
8:42
That is the power of sports and indeed the power of our women in sports. He said in an earlier press release on
8:49
Sunday, Beo Onuga said, "President Boler Tonubu has expressed his delight at the
8:55
Super Falcon's spectacular victory at the 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations,
9:01
WAFC, stating that he eagerly looks forward to receiving the trophy in Abuja." In a
9:08
post-match video call with team captain Rashid Ajabad, her teammates and
9:13
Nigerian officials, President Tonubu congratulated the team on securing a record 10th continental title and
9:20
lifting the nation's spirits. I am very very proud of you. The entire nation is
9:26
proud of you. You have lifted our spirits. You are a pride to your generation and we are all very happy.
9:33
You will be celebrated and I congratulate all the coaches and management of the team including the
9:38
ministers and the officials. He said the president extended his best regards to
9:44
Rashid Ajabad who emerged as the tournament's most valuable player and clinched the woman of the tournament
9:50
award. He also praised Esther Okonquo's composure during a crucial moment in the
9:55
final, describing her 64th minute penalty kick, which sparked a dramatic comeback as very courageous. Okarono
10:04
created the second goal and delivered the decisive free kick that Jennifer Echini converted to seal Nigeria's 3-2
10:11
victory. Safe journey home. Enjoy yourselves. Avoid injuries. God bless
10:17
you. The president told the jubilant players and officials who repeatedly interjected with, "Thank you, Mr.
10:24
President." Responding on behalf of the team, Ajabad thanked the president for
10:29
approving the full payment of players allowances. She assured him the team was eager to present him with the WFC
10:37
trophy in Abuja. The lively exchange ended with a spirited rendition of the
10:42
national anthem and three thunderous boa. Cheers for the president.
10:48
Honestly, I didn't want to watch too much.
10:55
I didn't want high blood pressure. But
11:01
people came in and turn my TV on that channel
11:09
when it was two.
11:14
[Music] I got very offended
11:20
and restless. But
11:28
I was there still watching the individual spirit of resilience,
11:37
determination and courage. [Applause]
11:48
And after that penalty and I saw the true one,
11:55
my spirit was lifted and I believe that of the nation,
12:03
that of the nation too was lifted. But what you almost did
12:09
was get me hungrier because your mother was in the kitchen
12:16
almost abandoning my
12:21
my [Music]
12:27
game doesn't really watch except the girls are the one
12:33
playing.
12:38
[Music] And she came running. I said you are not yet born.
12:48
And at the end of the final whistle, it was all excitement all over the
12:54
country. [Applause] Bringing you the news in a more digital
13:02
way. Barely 10 days after Israeli soldiers bombed the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza, Benjamin Netanyahu, the
13:09
State of Israel prime minister has said that Israel is now being portrayed as the enemy of Christians, stating that
13:16
Israel has a thriving Christian community, the only thriving Christian community in the broad radius of the
13:22
Middle East, where Christians are not tolerated, they're cherished, adding, "You can light Christmas trees in
13:29
Nazareth, but in Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus. When Israel left and the Palestinian Authority came in,
13:36
the Christian majority shrank from 80% to under 20% because there was no more
13:41
Israel to protect them. Though, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not
13:46
mention the bombing of the Catholic Church in Gaza that led to the killing of three persons and injuring to several
13:53
people, including the parish priest. It could be recalled that the Israel Defense Forces IDF action against the
13:59
Christian holy place in Gaza sparked global condemnations with the head of the Catholic Church Pope Leo I 14th in a
14:07
statement on Sunday July 20th 2025 while speaking after his angelist prayer read
14:14
out the names of those killed in the incident and said, "I appeal to the international community to observe
14:20
humanitarian law and respect the obligation to protect civilians as well as well as the prohibition of collective
14:26
punishment of indiscriminate use of force and force displacement of the population. During a church event on
14:33
Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu while speaking at the Day Stars together as one event in Jerusalem
14:40
with Pastor Paula White, leader of the White House faith office said, "Iran is now being projected as the friend of the
14:47
Americans." Word to word of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speech as
14:52
transcribed and made available by the office of the Israel prime minister on Sunday reads below. Thank you Joanie.
15:00
Thank you Dayar. Thank you Paula. Thank you ambassadors and the many friends of Israel in the Christian world. This is
15:08
the city and the land where it all began. the Judeo-Christian tradition that promoted the belief in monotheism,
15:15
a single god that developed the idea of the sanctity of life, the sanctity of
15:20
individual life, the idea of freedom. In an ancient world that was swamped with
15:25
massive slavery to build these ancient empires, the Jewish people came out with the idea that slavery should be limited
15:32
and ultimately removed. This was revolutionary. The beginning of the idea
15:37
of freedom began in this land. And that idea spread throughout the centuries and
15:42
especially in modern times and changed the world. It gives hope to the world.
15:47
It gives meaning to our lives. It gives a bond between the world's greatest democracy, the United States of America,
15:55
and the world's vibrant democracy here in Israel. And that's a partnership that is bonded in faith, in history, in
16:02
tradition. I had the great privilege of being invited to speak at the joint session of the American Congress. And I
16:10
look on the wall and I see a quote from Moses. That's our common tradition, our
16:15
common wellspring. We're immersed in the Bible. We live the Bible. We have a
16:20
future because we have a past. And that past is shared by millions, hundreds of
16:26
millions around the world. And I want to thank you on behalf of the people of Israel and the Jewish people for that
16:32
enduring friendship which is the mainstay of our present and future ability to live in a free, prosperous
16:39
and peaceful world. But that bond is being challenged today. It is being
16:44
challenged today by a fanatic fundamentalism, an Islamist fundamentalism that seeks to subjugate
16:50
all Muslims that they view as infidels, eradicate the American and obviously the Israeli presence in the Middle East.
16:57
They call America the great Satan. Israel is the small Satan perhaps, but
17:03
it's a small state that's standing in their way. And we fight them. We fight them together as we recently have with
17:10
President Trump's leadership and our partnership. And yet we see the effort to break down our bond in America and
17:17
other parts of the world. That partnership that promotes Judeo-Christian values, that protects in
17:23
Israel Christians as nowhere else in the Middle East. that truth is being reversed, put on its head by a campaign
17:29
of lies. Israel is now portrayed as the enemy of Christians. And the enemies of
17:35
Christians are portrayed as the friends of the United States. Iran, a friend of
17:41
the United States, an innocent victim. The Muslim Brotherhood who charmed death
17:46
to America alongside Iran. Friends of America. Her mass. These monsters. These
17:52
monsters who burned babies, raped our women, beheaded our men, and chanted death to America. Friends of America,
18:00
Israel has a thriving Christian community. The only thriving Christian community in the broad, broad radius of
18:07
the Middle East, where Christians are not tolerated, they're cherished. You can light Christmas trees in Nazareth.
18:14
But in Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus, when Israel left and the Palestinian authority came in, the
18:21
Christian majority shrank from 80% to under 20% because there was no more Israel to protect them. We cherish our
18:29
Christian friends. We protect the Christian holy sites, not only the church of the holy seila, but in the
18:36
Galilee, not only in Nazareth, but in the Galilee, in Capernaam, where Jesus preached for 3 years. We uphold and
18:43
cherish those sites. So, Israel, the guardian of Christianity in the Middle East, is presented on American
18:50
television by purchased influences. It's presented as the enemy of Christianity.
18:56
What folly, what lies, what a travesty of truth. So, one of the things we have
19:01
fought now in the sevenfront war, we have an eighth front and that is the front and the battle for truth. And I
19:09
can think of no one who can carry this battle alongside with us. No one who can do it better than you on this channel
19:16
than you, Paula, and our many Christian friends. We must fight for our common values. We must stand up for the truth.
19:25
And by standing up for the truth, you stand up with Israel and you stand with the Jewish people against this
19:31
abomination of falsehoods. We can win this war exactly as we win the sevenfront war. and I thank you for your
19:38
support. I want to address also the ambassadors who are here. Your countries have strong Christian communities and a
19:46
strong bond with us too. And I want to thank you for your support and the many, many millions around the world who have
19:52
voiced support for Israel during our great battles here. We haven't finished,
19:57
but we're winning and we'll continue to win. But the main thing that I want to
20:02
stress is the importance of winning the battle for truth. And that is a battle that we fought even as we speak now.
20:10
Israel is presented as though we are applying a campaign of starvation in Gaza. What a bold-faced lie. There is no
20:17
policy of starvation in Gaza and there is no starvation in Gaza. We enable
20:23
humanitarian aid throughout the duration of the war to enter Gaza. Otherwise,
20:28
there would be no Gazans. And what has interdicted the supply of humanitarian aid is one force, Hamas. Again, the
20:37
reverse of the truth. Hamas robs, steals this humanitarian aid, and then accuses
20:42
Israel of not supplying it. Well, we have enabled the amount required by
20:47
international law to come in. There are hundreds and hundreds of trucks loaded with tons. So far, we've supplied 1.9
20:55
million tons of food since the beginning of the war. almost 2 million tons and
21:00
now we have hundreds of trucks that are waiting on the Gazan side of the Keram Shalom crossing and it's international
21:07
organizations some of them very well intended and it's the UN too food that
21:13
they purchased and we say go ahead deliver it and they say we can't because
21:20
combat is going on and we say yes where we're fighting we'll continue to fight
21:26
but there are safe corridors You can bring the food to anywhere you want. That is not a problem. So we have
21:33
just announced that formally here are safe corridors and the has no excuses
21:39
left. No excuses left. Stop lying. Stop finding excuses. Do what you have to do
21:46
and stop accusing Israel deliberately of this egregious falsehood. There is no starvation in Gaza, no policy of
21:53
starvation in Gaza. And I assure you that we have a commitment to achieve our war goals. We will continue to fight
22:00
till we achieve the release of our hostages and the destruction of Hamas's military and governing capabilities.
22:07
They shall be there no more. We shall not have any more of these massacres. We shall not have any more of these
22:13
monstrosities. We stand for human freedom and human life. And that is not commensurate with
22:19
Hamas or with Iran or other Iranian proxies. We have fought this battle together. We shall win it together. And
22:27
I want to assure you that we have great faith in your faith and in our faith. We
22:32
have a common bond. It is strong. It is something that represents the vast majority of Americans and I would say
22:40
just about all Israelis and by the way Jews and non-Jews alike because we know that our standing together assures our
22:47
common future. So, I want to thank you on behalf of the state of Israel for everything that you're doing and as the
22:54
saying goes, for everything that you will do. Thank you all. Thank you very
22:59
much.
23:05
Bringing you the news in a more digital way. Royal Thai Army and the Cambodia
23:10
National Ministry of Defense have both denied firing the 10 projectiles that destroyed civilian houses and properties
23:17
at Emerald Triangle, a city in Lao on Thursday, just as both government
23:22
establishments confirmed early in the morning on Sunday that fighting continued through Saturday night to
23:28
Sunday morning night despite President Donald Trump of the United States. US
23:33
statement on Saturday that he has spoken on phone with both the prime minister of Cambodia and the acting prime minister
23:40
of Thailand asking the two parties to agree on immediate ceasefire and failure to do so. According to Trump, US will
23:48
not make any business deal with both countries. In his words, Trump said, "We
23:54
happen to be by coincidence currently dealing on trade with both countries,
23:59
but do not want to make any deal with either country if they are fighting, and I have told them so." The call with
24:05
Thailand is being made momentarily. The call with Cambodia has ended, but expect a call back regarding war stoppage and
24:13
ceasefire based on what Thailand has to say. I am trying to simplify a complex
24:18
situation. Many people are being killed in this war. But it very much reminds me
24:23
of the conflict between Pakistan and India which was brought to a successful halt. The Lao government had on Friday
24:31
reported that 10 bombs were found having been fired into civilian areas and affecting local residents in the Emerald
24:38
Triangle, a town in Lao that borders both Lao, Thailand, and Cambodia. A
24:43
statement from the Lao People's Armed Forces on Saturday afternoon refuted earlier media reports claiming clashes
24:50
between the Lao People's Armed Forces and Cambodian armed personnel, describing the reports as untrue.
24:57
Denying the shelling in Lao, the Royal Thailand Army in a statement on Saturday
25:02
said that the Royal Thai Army clarifies case of artillery shells landing in Lao
25:07
PDR territory in Emerald Triangle area confirms investigation found they were
25:12
not Thai forces ammunition. According to news reports, on the 24th of July 2025
25:20
at approximately 9:40 hours, 10 artillery shells landed in the territory of the Lao People's Democratic Republic,
25:27
Lao PDR, in the Emerald Triangle area, which is the border junction between Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia without
25:35
clear confirmation as to which side the shells belong to. And preliminarily, there were no reports of casualties or
25:42
property damage from the incident. Major General Winti Sububri, Army
25:47
spokesperson, issued a clarification that following factf finding investigations and coordination with
25:53
security agencies of the Lao PDR, it is confirmed that they were definitely not shells from the Thai military side and
26:00
the Royal Thai Army has confidence in its capability to control weapon usage effectively, appropriately,
26:07
proportionately, and strictly within international rules of engagement. However, in the recent period, it has
26:14
often been found that the Cambodian side has been using long range fire support weapons to attack numerous civilian
26:22
targets throughout the past 2 days, which appears to be intentional and deliberate use of such weapons against
26:28
targets other than military objectives, such as using weapons against historical sites, aiming to significantly mislead
26:35
the international community against the Thai side. The Royal Thai Army confirms
26:40
that the Thai side has strict measures for controlling weapon usage, particularly in areas adjacent to the
26:46
border to prevent impact on civilians or areas unrelated to military operations.
26:52
The Royal Thai Army will continue to coordinate closely with the La PDR side to maintain positive relations between
26:59
the two countries. The Royal Thai Army Public Relations Center Army spokesperson team stated this on the
27:06
26th of July 2025. In a swift reaction, the Cambodia
27:11
Ministry of National Defense in a statement also on Saturday said, "The
27:16
Ministry of National Defense of the Kingdom of Cambodia categorically rejects and condemns in the strongest
27:22
terms the false and malicious accusation by Thailand that Cambodia deliberately launched projectiles into Lashian
27:29
territory. This baseless allegation reflects a disturbing pattern of deceit by the Thai military. First fabricating
27:36
lies to justify its unprovoked aggression against Cambodia and now seeking to manipulate international
27:42
opinion by undermining Cambodia's reputation. Such irresponsible rhetoric
27:47
is not only patently false but dangerously inflammatory, particularly as the Lao authorities have neither
27:53
concluded their investigation nor issued any such claim. Cambodia demands that
27:59
Thailand immediately cease its deliberate disinformation campaign, which merely serves to deflect attention
28:05
from its own flagrant violations of international law. Unlike Thailand,
28:10
Cambodia has not and will not violate the sovereignty of any neighboring state, including the Lao People's
28:16
Democratic Republic. Cambodia reiterates its unwavering respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of
28:23
all nations and affirms its readiness to extend full cooperation to the Lao People's Army to investigate the
28:29
incident in a responsible, professional and transparent manner. Lieutenant General Mey Sakita under secretary of
28:37
state and spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense of the Kingdom of Cambodia stated this on Saturday July
28:43
26th 2025. On Sunday early morning, the Royal Thailand Army issued a report and stated
28:51
that today the 27th of July 2025, Major General Winisubi, Army spokesperson,
28:58
addressed the latest situation, stating that Cambodia continues its military activities by employing long range
29:05
weapons and firing into Thai territory. Continuous clashes have occurred at multiple points along the front lines
29:12
with numerous long-range support weapons landing outside their intended military target areas in Surin province. Thailand
29:20
therefore finds it necessary to conduct military operations in response to the continued firing of long range support
29:27
weapons such as rockets and artillery that persist in targeting Thai territory to prevent civilian casualties or
29:33
losses. Yesterday, the 26th of July 2025, at approximately 1530 hours,
29:41
Cambodian artillery shells targeted the subdist health promoting hospital at Ban Sam village 3, Southong Chai subdist,
29:49
Canthac district, CSA province, causing severe damage to the building structure.
29:56
However, there were no fatalities or injuries as medical personnel had previously evacuated patients from the
30:02
facility. Furthermore, intelligence reports indicate potential deployment of
30:08
high-performance weapons systems such as PHL03, Room 70, and BM21 that may provide
30:15
additional support to Cambodian forces. This may reflect Cambodia's stance which
30:21
Thailand cannot yet trust. According to the latest situation, Cambodian forces
30:26
have not ceased their attacks using all forms of weaponry against Thai forces.
30:31
The Royal Thai Army will operate at full capacity to counter this aggression and reaffirms its continued focus on
30:38
military targets that pose military threats and endanger the lives and property of our fellow citizens only
30:44
within the appropriate framework of international rules of engagement. to protect and maintain sovereignty to the
30:50
best of our ability. The Royal Thai Army Public Relations Center Army spokesperson team stated this in a press
30:57
statement on the 27th of July 2025. A few minutes later, the Cambodia
31:04
Ministry of National Defense reacted and stated that the Ministry of National Defense of the Kingdom of Cambodia
31:10
categorically rejects and condemns in the strongest terms the baseless and irresponsible accusation by Thailand
31:17
that Cambodia initiated hostilities. This false claim is nothing more than a desperate attempt to shift attention
31:24
away from Thailand's own flagrant and repeated violations of Cambodia's sovereignty and international law. The
31:31
facts are indisputable. It was Thailand that launched the first wave of brutal attacks against Cambodian territory. On
31:38
the 27th of July 2025 at 2:00, Thai forces shelled V entry location. By 2:30
31:46
they expanded the bombardment to Tarowl, Panom 333 and Pona. And at 450, additional
31:54
shelling struck Tam and Tar Krabby. At 6:00, Thai ground troops invaded
32:00
Ponamong Kamau and SES and V entry location followed by a large-scale
32:06
incursion at 6:30 involving tanks and ground troops into multiple areas including V entry five macara pen kamau
32:14
and an ees. In a separate statement, the spokesperson of the Cambodia Ministry of
32:20
National Defense added that as of now, violations from the Thai side continue
32:25
and have escalated beyond the initial incidents. Since 500 a.m. yesterday in
32:31
the operational zone of military region 4, Thai forces began launching continuous and intense attacks toward
32:37
boss SBOV. These escalations include the following incidents. At 10:40 a.m., Thai aircraft
32:45
dropped two bombs on the road leading to Priyovia Temple. At 11:56 a.m., a Thai
32:52
aircraft dropped a cluster bomb on Ponam Kamau. At 2:30 p.m., Thailand launched a
32:58
ground assault using armored vehicles in the V inree area. From 2:30 p.m. onward,
33:04
the situation gradually deescalated until 1000 p.m. At 2:00 a.m. midnight,
33:11
Thai troops began a new wave of attacks on Cambodia, targeting the V in area. At
33:17
2:30 a.m., Thai forces launched additional strikes on Tarav and Ponamong
33:22
Kamau using surveillance and combat drones. At 4:50 a.m. this morning,
33:28
Thailand began artillery shelling into the territory around the Tarmon tom and Tar Krabby temples. At 6:00 a.m., Thai
33:36
forces began advancing ground troops into the Panom Camo area. Across all
33:41
conflict zones from Tarmon Temple to the Mombay area, Thailand has aggressively
33:47
used heavy artillery, cluster bombs via drones and air strikes against Cambodian
33:52
territory. Lieutenant General Mey Sakita, Under Secretary of State and spokesperson of the Ministry of National
33:59
Defense of the Kingdom of Cambodia stated this in a statement on Sunday, July 27th, 2025.
34:06
We have reported that Asia is apparently becoming a continent of war as hope of achieving peace in the continent
34:12
appeared slim since 2023 when fresh wars broke out in the Middle East Asia after
34:18
Hamas attacked Israel forcing Israel to launch a multifront wars in Gaza,
34:23
Lebanon, Syria, Iran, and Yemen. This occurred as Russia that has parts of its territory in Asia had in 2022 launched a
34:31
full-scale war against its neighboring European country Ukraine which the multiple wars have led to millions of
34:38
deaths with many in the world expecting an end soon. But while many in the world
34:43
hoped for permanent end to the deadly wars, another fresh war broke out during the week on Thursday in the Southeast

35:35
innocent Cambodians including children, pregnant women and the elderly have been
35:40
forced who flee the military aggression along the border areas including
35:45
Priyovia, Odaminci and Perset. And the Royal Thai Army also on Saturday
35:51
released a video of its men hoisting the Thai flag at a location and stated that the Thai national flag was raised at top
35:59
Fu Makua following Thai military operations to assault and seize the Fu Makua area where it said the Cambodian
36:07
forces had been heavily positioned. adding that the area was successfully captured during the evening of war on
36:13
Friday. While the prime minister of Thailand, Pyong Tan Shinawad, who is currently on suspension, blamed the
36:19
cause of the war on alleged powerful criminals in Cambodia, saying the
36:24
conflict stems from the Thai government's efforts to crack down on call center crimes, dismantling a
36:30
network of immense financial interests linked to influential groups in Cambodia. Notwithstanding the prime
36:37
minister of Cambodia, Sam Movaba Apad Han Manet in a statement called on
36:42
Cambodians not to attack businesses and citizens of Thailand living in Cambodia,
36:48
adding that after the prime minister of Malaysia and the rotating chairman of Azian, Anoir Ibrahim, intervened in the
36:54
matter on Thursday, both countries agreed to a ceasefire slated to start on Friday by 12 a.m. But an hour after
37:03
Malaysia prime minister told him that Thailand has agreed to the ceasefire, Thailand rescended its decision and
37:09
continued military actions against Cambodia and the Cambodia Ministry of National Defense spokesperson Lieutenant
37:17
General Mey Sakita in an operational updates on Saturday said that Thailand has continued to expand its military
37:24
including its infantry forces heavy weaponry into Cambodia territory.

military actions against Cambodia and the Cambodia Ministry of National Defense spokesperson, Lieutenant General
40:45
Mey Sakita in an operational updates on Saturday said that Thailand has continued to expand its military
40:53
including its infantry forces heavy weaponry into Cambodia territory. According to the Thailand military known
41:00
as Royal Thai Army, the Royal Thai Army condemns the Cambodian side for the
41:05
incident involving the coveret placement of landmines in the border area of Chong and Ma Nam Yuan district, Yuban
41:12
Rajaththani province resulted in severe injuries to military personnel. On the
41:17
23rd of July 2025, at approximately 1655
41:22
hours, an incident occurred involving Royal Thai Army personnel from the patrol team of the 14th Infantry
41:29
Battalion who encountered a landmine at Hua Chong and Ma Namuan district, Yuben
41:35
Ratchathani Province within the Thai Cambodia border operational area. The
41:40
incident resulted in injuries to five Royal Thai Army personnel with one soldier sustaining severe injuries to
41:47
his right leg from stepping on the explosive device and four others experiencing chest tightness and tinitus
41:54
from the blast concussion. They are now being treated at NM UN hospital. Tomorrow, General Panlup Plotic, Chief
42:02
of Army will visit the area to monitor the situation and provide moral support to the injured personnel. He has ordered
42:09
military forces from the first army area, the second army area and various
42:14
units to prepare for operations under the chakraong for wanet plan upon receiving orders. The Royal Thai Army
42:22
strongly condemns this inhumane act that violates international humanitarian principles and international agreements
42:29
occurring within the Kingdom of Thailand's territory due to actions by the Cambodian side and calls upon the
42:35
Cambodian side to take responsibility for this incident which constitutes a serious threat to peace and stability in
42:41
the border region between the two countries. The Royal Thai Army affirms its commitment to utilizing all
42:48
available mechanisms to take appropriate action within the proper framework, ensuring the safety of military
42:54
personnel and Thai citizens while preventing further incidents of this nature. Royal Thai Army Public Relations
43:01
Center, Army spokesperson team stated this on the 23rd of July 2025.
43:07
Lieutenant General Mey Sakita, the Cambodia Ministry of National Defense spokesperson while addressing the press
43:14
and the public on Saturday said that one Thailand keeps expanding its military
43:21
including infantry forces, heavy weaponry and fighter jets. Thai forces
43:26
launched indiscriminate attacks that targeted no specific objectives and destroyed civilian infrastructure
43:32
including schools, villages, markets, health facilities, gas stations, temples
43:39
and world heritage sites. These attacks have also harmed innocent civilians,
43:45
children, women, and the elderly who are currently at serious risk. This
43:50
constitutes a violation of international law and the Geneva Conventions. Two,
43:56
please take note that Thai troops employing F-16 fighter jets rained bombs
44:01
on civilian settlements, killing and injuring several civilians. In Odumchi
44:06
province, five Cambodian soldiers and eight civilians were killed and 21 Cambodian soldiers and 50 civilians were
44:14
injured while around 35,000 people in four provinces. Odaminci, Priyha,
44:20
Perset, and Bante Minchi were forced to leave their homes as a result of these attacks. Three, the Thai side continues
44:29
to escalate by aggressively deploying troops to attack multiple Cambodian targets, showing no signs of
44:35
deescalation. At the same time, Thailand has declared martial law in Trout and Chanthuri
44:42
provinces and has begun expanding its military forces and armaments under the operation Chakrabong's Bouvanath plan.
44:49
Four, Thailand has deliberately launched unprovoked attacks against Cambodia and is increasingly violating Cambodian
44:56
sovereignty while continuing to make exaggerated and unfounded accusations against Cambodia. This clearly reveals a
45:04
premeditated plan to invade Cambodia. Five, the Ministry of National Defense
45:09
of Cambodia calls on the international community, including the United Nations
45:14
Security Council, Azan, international partners, and diplomatic missions to
45:20
strongly condemn the brazen and reckless aggression against Cambodia. Six, we
45:25
call on the international community to take urgent measures to prevent further troop deployments aimed at attacking
45:31
Cambodia, to ensure that Thailand respects the full territorial integrity of Cambodia, and to hold Thailand
45:38
accountable for its violations of the United Nations Charter, the Geneva Conventions, and the Aian Treaty of
45:44
Amity and Cooperation. Seven, Cambodia remains firmly committed
45:49
to resolving the issue peacefully in accordance with international law while reserving our right to self-defense
45:56
under article 51 of the United Nations Charter and to defend our people,
46:01
sovereignty, and territorial integrity to the fullest extent against Thailand's aggression and violent acts. Eight.
46:08
Thailand's incursions have expanded to other provinces of Cambodia, including five artillery attacks in Edmma,
46:15
Commune, Vang District, Persid Province. In the fourth zone, Thailand also
46:21
launched attacks in three locations. Vintry, Tathav, and Chong Ti on the
46:27
morning of July 26th. Nine. Cambodia once again condemns the
46:32
aggression and premeditated provocations by Thailand. Cambodia reaffirms our
46:37
commitment to maintaining peace and security, but nevertheless reserves the right to defend our sovereignty as a
46:43
victim of the This violations. We assert our principle of targeting only military objectives on the Thai
46:50
side, ensuring that civilians remain unharmed. 10. Thus far, the Cambodian
46:56
army has remained resolute and unwavering in its defense of Cambodia's territorial integrity, standing firm
47:02
against the threats and coercion from Thailand. The Cambodia National Defense stated, the Cambodia Ministry of
47:09
Information also in a statement on Saturday stated that Thailand is using
47:15
information manipulation warfare strategies to fabricate pretexts for its armed aggression of Cambodian territory
47:21
while falsely portraying itself as the victim. We would like to inform our fellow Cambodian citizens that the Thai
47:28
media has colluded with the Thai government and military to fabricate and disseminate fake news aimed at
47:34
demonizing Cambodia in order to create a pretext for their own armed invasion and
47:39
violation of Cambodia's territorial integrity. Both the Thai government, its
47:45
military, and media outlets have employed deceptive tactics to provoke incidents according to their
47:50
premeditated invasion plans. The Thai military's armed incursion was carefully
47:55
planned and prepared long in advance. The blueprint of Thailand's military aggression is clear, beginning with a
48:02
preemptive attack on Cambodian forces, followed by shamelessly placing all blame on Cambodia without any sense of
48:10
remorse or accountability. Cambodia tells the truth. Thailand lies
48:15
to the world. Cambodia has no interest in invading Thailand. Euro News reported
48:21
that as the conflict between the two countries enters its third day, at least 30 people have been killed and thousands
48:27
forced to flee their homes. Cambodia's UN ambassador Chio called for an
48:34
immediate unconditional ceasefire with Thailand on Friday after the dispute between the two countries ended its
48:40
third day. The UN Security Council held an emergency meeting behind closed doors
48:46
late Friday in New York with all 15 members calling on the parties to deescalate, show restraint, and resolve
48:53
the dispute peacefully. We also called for the peaceful solution to the dispute, said Chio. He responded to
49:01
accusations that Cambodia attacked Thailand, asking how a small country with no air force could attack a much
49:07
larger country with an army three times its size. stressing, "We do not do that." Thailand's UN ambassador left the
49:15
meeting without stopping to talk to reporters. But Thailand's acting prime minister, Fam Way, said Friday that
49:23
Cambodia may be guilty of war crimes due to the deaths of civilians and damage caused to a hospital. He said Thailand
49:30
had exercised the utmost restraint and patience in the face of provocations and aggression from Cambodia. Meanwhile, the
49:38
Thailand Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a statement on Saturday evening stated that Ministry of Foreign Affairs wishes
49:45
to inform that a few moments ago, Acting Prime Minister Fam Way had a
49:51
conversation with President Trump who requested that Thailand and Cambodia agree to a ceasefire immediately. Acting
49:59
Prime Minister thanked President Trump for his concern and expressed that Thailand agrees in principle to have a
50:04
ceasefire in place. However, Thailand would like to see sincere intention from
50:10
the Cambodian side. Acting Prime Minister thus requested President Trump
50:15
to convey to the Cambodian side that Thailand wants to convene a bilateral dialogue as soon as possible to bring
50:22
forth measures and procedures for the ceasefire and the eventual peaceful resolution of the conflict. It would be
50:28
recalled that on June 26th, 2025, the Kingdom of Cambodia had stated in its
50:34
government website that Cambodian Prime Minister Han Manet raised concerns about
50:40
the lack of clarity and inconsistency between the Thai prime minister and the Thai military regarding the closure and
50:46
reopening of border checkpoints with Cambodia. Sandep noted that at times the
50:51
border was completely closed only to be reopened in certain areas. However, the
50:57
reopened checkpoints permitted only limited movement, barring general public crossing, while Thailand shifted the
51:04
blame to Cambodia for initiating the closure. The premier spoke on Thursday,
51:09
June 26th at the graduation ceremony at the police academy of Cambodia in Candle
51:15
Province. The premier explained that on the 24th of June 2025, the Thai prime
51:21
minister publicly announced a full border closure with Cambodia, citing the United Nations reports alleging that
51:27
Cambodia was a hub for online criminal activity. Exceptions were made only for
51:33
students and critically ill patients. Thai military forces began implementing the closure on that same day. Yet later
51:41
in the evening, the spokesperson for Thailand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs came forward stating that Thailand had
51:47
not officially closed its borders. Then on the morning of the 25th of June, Thai
51:53
military personnel reopened some border gates for the purpose of taking photos, though the restrictions on crossber
51:59
travel remained in effect. Cambodia does not play such covered games. If we act,
52:06
we take responsibility. We already made our stance clear. If you, Thailand,
52:11
close the border, we will close it indefinitely until you officially reopen it. If we continue to react to your
52:18
inconsistent moves, then we will never know when this will end, the premier underscored. Sand theapade reaffirmed
52:26
that he is currently awaiting individuals in Thailand who will hold genuine power and adopt a clear and
52:31
consistent stance with whom Cambodia can reliably engage in good faith in order
52:36
to seek joint solutions that benefit both nations and their peoples. A Malaysi-based news media, The Star,
52:44
reported that Malaysia will continue engaging Cambodia and Thailand to achieve a ceasefire in the ongoing
52:51
border clashes, says Datuk Seri Anoir Ibrahim, the prime minister of Malaysia.
52:57
The prime minister said that although both leaders had initially agreed to a ceasefire, fighting still persisted
53:03
along the disputed border. Anoir said he has told foreign minister Datuk Seri
53:08
Muhammad Hassan to contact his Thai and Cambodian counterparts for talks. Maybe
53:14
I will directly contact him to at least stop the shooting and continue the negotiations, said Anoir. Anois said
53:21
that during his initial call to the two leaders, they had thanked him for facilitating talks. Even though they
53:28
agreed to it, there is still shooting at the border, added Anoir. Anoir on
53:33
Friday, July 25th, stated that Thailand and Cambodia had agreed to a ceasefire,
53:39
but requested some time as their troops were already stationed at the border and needed time to withdraw. Both countries
53:46
have accused each other of starting the military clashes and have downgraded the diplomatic relations since Wednesday,
53:53
July 23rd. Tensions between Thailand and Cambodia have been escalating since May
53:59
28th following a deadly incident in the Prihair area that claimed the life of a
54:05
Cambodian soldier. The two countries have been at odds for decades over various undermarketed points along their
54:12
817 km long border. United States US
54:17
President Donald Trump who is currently in Scotland said while at a golf course on Saturday that he just spoke to the
54:24
prime minister of Cambodia relative to stopping the war with Thailand. I am
54:29
calling the acting prime minister of Thailand right now to likewise request a
54:34
ceasefire and end to the war which is currently raging. We happen to be by
54:40
coincidence currently dealing on trade with both countries but do not want to make any deal with either country if
54:47
they are fighting and I have told them so. The call with Thailand is being made
54:52
momentarily. The call with Cambodia has ended but expect a call back regarding
54:58
war stoppage and ceasefire based on what Thailand has to say. I am trying to
55:03
simplify a complex situation. Many people are being killed in this war. But
55:08
it very much reminds me of the conflict between Pakistan and India which was brought to a successful halt. Prime
55:15
Minister of Thailand, Paong Tan Shinowat, who is currently on suspension in a press statement, said that I would
55:23
like to emphasize and reaffirm the government's statement that Cambodia's actions constitute a severe war crime in
55:30
violation of peaceful principles under the framework of international law and the humanitarian principles that
55:36
Thailand has consistently upheld. The escalation of violence is something the
55:41
government does not desire and has made every effort to prevent. However, when the opposing side
55:47
initiated firing first, it became necessary to respond decisively and appropriately. Although I am unable to
55:54
perform my duties in person, I have been closely monitoring the situation and receiving reports, doing everything
56:01
within my capacity. I wish to send my encouragement and concern to all
56:06
officials and fellow citizens along the border. I believe that every mechanism of the government is fully prepared to
56:13
support the work of security forces and care for our fellow citizens to the fullest extent. This includes on-site
56:20
visits by the cabinet and the establishment of compensation guidelines for those who have lost their lives or
56:26
been injured. At the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has utilized every channel of communication with the
56:33
international community to clarify the facts regarding the cause of the conflict, which stems from the Thai
56:39
government's efforts to crack down on call center crimes, dismantling a network of immense financial interests
56:45
linked to influential groups in Cambodia. This is to protect Thai citizens and those of many other
56:51
countries affected by this operation. I believe this may be the primary reason for Cambodia's anger or perhaps not.
57:00
Additionally, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has presented evidence of Cambodia's unjust actions including
57:06
violations of treaties, international law, human rights principles, and severe
57:12
inhumity such as the illicit planting of landmines, initiating attacks, and
57:17
targeting civilian sites such as hospitals and homes, resulting in numerous Thai casualties and injuries.
57:24
These points have been raised on international platforms as well. In this situation, Thai people must unite and
57:31
stand together as one. We will not yield to such despicable tactics and nothing
57:36
can overcome the unity of the Thai people. Regarding proposals from various countries to end the violence, I believe
57:43
the government is ready to listen. But the key lies in the attitude and sincerity which so far we have not seen
57:50
from Cambodia in this matter. On behalf of the Ministry of Culture, I express my
57:56
boundless gratitude for the gracious compassion of his majesty the king and her majesty the queen who have shown
58:03
concern for the military personnel and citizens in the Thai Cambodia border provinces. Their majesties have
58:10
graciously taken all those who lost their lives or were injured in the unrest in these areas under their royal
58:15
patronage. Bringing immense joy and gratitude to the families of the deceased and injured as well as to tie
58:22
subjects across the country under the mission of the Ministry of Culture. I have urgently ordered two key tasks.
58:30
One, ceremonial funerals granted by royal decree. As the agency responsible
58:35
for conducting funerals granted by royal decree, we will carry out the tasks in accordance with the royal instructions
58:41
from the bureau of the royal household with utmost dignity and adherence to traditional royal customs. two other
58:49
assigned support missions from the provinces such as caring for the injured, providing essential supplies
58:55
and necessities, collaborating with relevant agencies to provide psychological support for those
59:00
affected, and deploying personnel to assess damages in accordance with the ministry's responsibilities such as
59:07
historical sites in the area to evaluate damage and secure funding for restoration and repairs moving forward.
59:14
First and foremost, I would like to reiterate Deputy Prime Minister Fam's yesterday statement that Cambodia act of
59:21
aggression constitutes a grave war crime that violates the principles of peaceful resolution under international law and
59:28
humanitarian principles, which Thailand has always upheld. However, the
59:33
government does not condone violence and has made every effort to avoid it. But when the Cambodian side initiates the
59:40
use of arms, it is necessary for us to response in an appropriate manner. Prime
59:46
Minister of Cambodia Sammova Theapade Han Manet says while clarifying
59:51
Cambodia's stance on the ceasefire proposed by Anoir Ibrahim the prime minister of Malaysia and rotating chair
59:58
of Azian that given some unclear reporting in various international news outlets regarding Cambodia's position on
1:00:06
the ceasefire proposed by his excellency Anoir Ibrahim prime minister of Malaysia
1:00:11
and the rotating Aian chair. I am obliged to clarify as follows. Yesterday
1:00:17
evening on the 24th of July 2025, His Excellency Anoir Ibrahim, Prime Minister
1:00:23
of Malaysia and the rotating Aian chair requested a phone conversation with me to discuss the fighting between the
1:00:30
Cambodian and Thai militaries along the border. He expressed his concern over the conflict and his desire for an
1:00:36
immediate ceasefire to pave way for a resolution between the two sides. I made
1:00:42
it clear to his excellency Anoir Ibrahim that Cambodia agreed with his proposal for a ceasefire because Cambodia did not
1:00:49
initiate this fighting. An initial response I received from his excellency Anoir Ibrahim after he spoke with his
1:00:56
excellency Fam Wayoi, acting prime minister of Thailand was that the Thai
1:01:01
side had agreed to his proposal for a ceasefire setting 12 a.m. on the 24th of
1:01:06
July 2025 as the time for both sides to cease the fighting. However, it is
1:01:13
regrettable that just over an hour later, the Thai side informed that they had reversed their position from
1:01:18
agreeing to the ceasefire at 12 a.m. on the 24th of July, 2025 to not agreeing
1:01:24
and waiting for a later date. His Excellency Anoir Ibrahim is well aware of this situation. Therefore, the key to
1:01:32
resolving the current armed conflict between Thailand and Cambodia is the genuine willingness of the Thai side to
1:01:38
accept a ceasefire, which is the first step towards finding further solutions between the two countries. Even though
1:01:46
there is currently fighting between the Cambodian and Thai armies at the border, I appeal to all Cambodian citizens to
1:01:52
maintain their morality and dignity and to avoid discrimination or any actions
1:01:58
that could affect the Royal Thai embassy in Cambodia, Thai companies, and Thai citizens living in Cambodia. For
1:02:05
Cambodian citizens who are living, working, or studying in Thailand and may be facing pressure from discrimination
1:02:11
and wish to return to Cambodia, please come back to our country. If you need assistance, please contact the Royal
1:02:18
Embassy of Cambodia in Bangkok or the Consulate General of Cambodia in SA Kaio
1:02:23
Province in Thailand. Sincere thanks to our Cambodian compatriots for coming together in large numbers for the blood
1:02:30
donation. Responding to the heartfelt appeal of H Dr. picked Chan on the evening of July 24th. As a result of the
1:02:38
blood donation drive, we received 2,117 units of blood. In addition, 9,336
1:02:47
individuals registered via QR code to be able to donate later. These results
1:02:52
demonstrate the humanitarian spirit and solidarity of the Cambodian people, showing strong support for the potential
1:02:59
needs of our heroes on the front lines and displaced people in Oda Minchi and Priya Vhier provinces.
1:03:10
Bringing you the news in a more digital way.
