A video viewed hundreds of thousands of times on social media shows a “Solidarity March” held in Phnom Penh against the backdrop of a border dispute with Thailand, contrary to posts claiming it shows Cambodians protesting against their own government after the long-running spat boiled over into deadly clashes. The June 18 march was led by Cambodia’s deputy prime minister and aimed to show support for the government and troops stationed at the Thai border.<\/p>\n
“Tens of thousands of Cambodians have begun to see the light,” reads part of the Thai-language description of a\u00a0TikTok video<\/a> published on August 1, 2025.<\/p>\n The video, which accumulated over 330,000 views, shows a large crowd marching through city roads while waving Cambodia’s national flag. A nationalist song can be heard in the background.<\/p>\n The description claims the video shows a protest in Phnom Penh against Cambodia’s influential ex-leader Hun Sen and his son, Prime Minister Hun Manet.<\/p>\n It says the protesters were accusing their government of “causing multiple deaths in the war with Thailand and covering up the truth about (unrecovered) soldiers’ bodies.”<\/p>\n
