Sweden Arming Thailand with Gripen: Why Now Is the Wrong Time
Photo from the Swedish Embassy in Thailand/Facebook Thailand signed a deal on August 25 to purchase four Gripen fighter jets from Sweden for over 500 million dollars, and the delivery could be between 2025 and 2030. Such a move has prompted outcry among Cambodians as the border conflict continues amid a fragile ceasefire. As a Cambodian, I believe no one wants to complain and ask Sweden to cancel it outright, and I understand no one has the power to do so.

"But Cambodia will not win the PR war in the information age by handing influencers identical scripts, without third-party verification or independent journalism. We cannot ask the world to hear us while our government silences every voice that dares to speak independently."
Why Cambodia Is Losing the Information War With Thailand
The lack of an independent press has made it hard for the government to communicate its side of the story.
