digital media as a driving force of economic and social transformation.
25
00:01:43,599 –> 00:01:46,959
It is no longer merely an accessory to life, he said.
26
00:01:47,719 –> 00:01:52,439
From developing innovative platforms to building vibrant online communities, you
27
00:01:52,480 –> 00:01:56,040
are demonstrating the determination that is redefining what is possible
28
00:01:56,079 –> 00:01:59,200
for this country. You are not waiting for the future,
29
00:01:59,560 –> 00:02:02,640
you are build bilding it. Digital media is now a
30
00:02:02,680 –> 00:02:08,120
central driver of economic growth, civic engagement and social change.
31
00:02:08,159 –> 00:02:12,919
It broadens representation for those previously unheard. The President said
32
00:02:12,960 –> 00:02:16,680
his administration is committed to supporting digital innovation through the
33
00:02:16,759 –> 00:02:20,560
National Digital Innovation Fund and policies that promote a thriving
34
00:02:20,639 –> 00:02:25,719
start up ecosystem. However, he warned practitioners to remain vigilant
35
00:02:25,719 –> 00:02:30,319
against disinformation and cyber threats. Chief of Staff to the President,
36
00:02:30,719 –> 00:02:35,360
Femi Bajabia Mila, praised digital media practitioners who have consistently
37
00:02:35,400 –> 00:02:38,599
stood up for Nigeria and projected the nation positively on
38
00:02:38,639 –> 00:02:42,159
the global stage. You are the vanguard of a reborn
39
00:02:42,240 –> 00:02:47,960
Nigeria determined to reach for the stars. Under President Tanoubu’s leadership,
40
00:02:48,039 –> 00:02:51,479
our nation has begun its long delayed march toward greatness.
41
00:02:52,240 –> 00:02:55,960
The road may be challenging, but it is necessary, he stated.
42
00:02:56,719 –> 00:02:59,479
In a good will message. The Special Advisor to the
43
00:02:59,479 –> 00:03:03,879
President on Information and Strategy, Bao on Anuga, highlighted the
44
00:03:03,919 –> 00:03:07,759
significance of the summit. He noted that lessons from recent
45
00:03:07,800 –> 00:03:11,439
elections in countries like the US and Germany underscore how
46
00:03:11,520 –> 00:03:16,639
digital media have become crucial battlegrounds beyond mere entertainment for
47
00:03:16,719 –> 00:03:21,319
shaping pole outcomes. However, social media is not a fair
48
00:03:21,439 –> 00:03:26,080
battleground as a public square. It is often chaotic and unregulated.
49
00:03:26,599 –> 00:03:31,759
Uses frequently disregard rules. Divisive content is rampant, league fakes
50
00:03:31,759 –> 00:03:35,960
and I generated content are increasingly used against political opponents.
51
00:03:36,400 –> 00:03:40,960
Posts are driven by cliques, not true for accuracy. Misinformation
52
00:03:41,120 –> 00:03:46,000
spreads five times faster than official corrections. On Anuga observed.
53
00:03:46,240 –> 00:03:49,680
He expressed optimism that the summit would address these challenges,
54
00:03:50,199 –> 00:03:54,680
focusing on strategies to combat fake news and misinformation. The
55
00:03:54,719 –> 00:03:59,960
summit convena Schegendada, special Assistant to the President on New Media,
56
00:04:00,159 –> 00:04:03,400
emphasized it in less than a decade, digital media has
57
00:04:03,439 –> 00:04:07,360
evolved from a tool of personal connection into a powerful
58
00:04:07,400 –> 00:04:12,479
engine for communication, innovation and influence. He stressed the importance
59
00:04:12,520 –> 00:04:15,319
of harnessing this force for the good of Nigeria while
60
00:04:15,360 –> 00:04:19,000
managing inherent risks such as privacy concerns and threats to
61
00:04:19,079 –> 00:04:20,040
social cohesion.
62
00:04:22,600 –> 00:04:27,959
Speaker 2: It is a privilege to address you and this important
63
00:04:28,120 –> 00:04:35,360
Digiti Media somait. The theme of this gathering un villain.
64
00:04:35,480 –> 00:04:42,560
The central role of new media in national development captures
65
00:04:42,639 –> 00:04:48,600
this spirit of our times and that of our nation.
66
00:04:50,480 –> 00:04:57,160
Across Nigeria, we are witnessing a surge of creativity and
67
00:04:57,360 –> 00:05:02,839
ambition as young nagen and as digital media to share
68
00:05:02,920 –> 00:05:11,120
their voices and shape our society. From developing new platform
69
00:05:12,360 –> 00:05:22,079
to building firebrands online communities, you are demonstrating ingenuity and
70
00:05:22,160 –> 00:05:27,079
a commitment of progress that is redfining what is possible
71
00:05:27,240 –> 00:05:33,240
for this country. You have that possibility. You are not
72
00:05:33,360 –> 00:05:37,959
waiting to be invited into the future. You are building
73
00:05:38,120 –> 00:05:49,480
the future. New media is no longer and as such
74
00:05:49,519 –> 00:05:54,199
strate to our national life. It is first becoming a
75
00:05:54,319 –> 00:06:00,000
central driver of economic growth. See if we can engagement
76
00:06:01,160 –> 00:06:07,199
and socia change. It is creating opportunities for millions of
77
00:06:07,279 –> 00:06:17,519
young people, reducing conventional barriers to participation in politics, and
78
00:06:17,839 –> 00:06:24,480
enabling broader representation of those who would previously have gone
79
00:06:24,879 –> 00:06:32,360
or hard. Your generation has understood this moment. You are
80
00:06:32,480 –> 00:06:41,079
using digital tools to innovate, to educate, and to demand accountability.
81
00:06:41,800 –> 00:06:46,040
But as this influence grows, so too most of our
82
00:06:46,120 –> 00:06:53,800
collective sense of purpose and responsibility. I own you to
83
00:06:53,879 –> 00:07:02,040
continue using digital platforms as instruments of national progress, but
84
00:07:04,079 –> 00:07:09,399
you should build businesses that employ others, create content that
85
00:07:09,759 –> 00:07:15,160
uplift those around you. Use your influence to force the
86
00:07:15,399 –> 00:07:29,839
unity and not division. We are in a world where
87
00:07:29,879 –> 00:07:37,240
this information spread easily. Verify before you amplify, Please lead
88
00:07:37,319 –> 00:07:41,759
the digital space. Reflect the value that bind us together
89
00:07:42,519 –> 00:07:52,920
as a people, honestly, compassionate, discipline, and patriotism. Patriotism is
90
00:07:52,959 –> 00:07:59,480
not about slogans and political theater. It is about words.
91
00:08:00,560 –> 00:08:07,439
We contribute to the common good. Every gap and every
92
00:08:07,600 –> 00:08:15,560
app you design, every story you tell, every brand you viuse.
93
00:08:16,680 –> 00:08:21,879
It’s a statement to the world about who we are
94
00:08:22,959 –> 00:08:29,319
and what we stand for as a nation. This administration
95
00:08:30,399 –> 00:08:36,399
understands the important of this new frontier. That’s where that
96
00:08:36,559 –> 00:08:41,399
is why we are making strategic investments in digital and
97
00:08:41,440 –> 00:08:48,840
FRA structure and broadband expansion. We are committed to ensuring
98
00:08:49,000 –> 00:08:54,320
that abside study, internet is not a privilege for the
99
00:08:54,399 –> 00:08:57,320
view but a rights.

00:08:58,559 –> 00:09:00,639
Speaker 3: Enjoyed the all vieriums.

00:09:06,480 –> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 2: We are also supporting innovation through the National Digital Innovation
102
00:09:13,080 –> 00:09:19,960
Fund and not turning the startup ecosystem. With policies that
103
00:09:20,159 –> 00:09:26,240
promote growth and reduced or necessary regulation, we will not
104
00:09:26,639 –> 00:09:33,639
lose focus on cybersecurity. Every Nigeria has a right to
105
00:09:33,759 –> 00:09:46,679
be protected in both the physical and digital domains. And
106
00:09:46,879 –> 00:09:51,840

among Nigerian’s greatest assets. So I challenge you to use
110
00:10:17,480 –> 00:10:26,759
your platforms not only for self expression, anger or retaliation,
111
00:10:28,200 –> 00:10:33,799
but from problem solving, to build solutions that address our
112
00:10:33,960 –> 00:10:40,919
nation’s needs, to mentor others as we grow, and to
113
00:10:41,080 –> 00:10:52,759

Make yours inclusive and relevant, but none will be more
120
00:11:39,080 –> 00:11:43,679
positive than the choices made by those who there to

will provide further information if the detailed results of the
320
00:25:33,440 –> 00:25:38,440

side employed heavy weapons and indirect fire weapons firing into
328
00:26:12,440 –> 00:26:17,160

330
00:26:22,400 –> 00:26:27,440
During these operations, several Cambodian soldiers surrendered without displaying any

00:26:27,480 –> 00:26:31,640
threatening posture or behavior toward the Thai side. The unit
332
00:26:31,720 –> 00:26:35,440
proceeded to disarm and detain them according to proper procedures
333
00:26:35,480 –> 00:26:41,960

00:27:06,119 –> 00:27:10,599

under detention at a secure location within the second Army area,
341
00:27:14,799 –> 00:27:19,119
where basic care provisions have been arranged, including clothing, food,
342
00:27:19,440 –> 00:27:24,359

00:27:34,960 –> 00:27:39,119
implemented regarding the deceased. The Thai side will proceed to
346
00:27:39,200 –> 00:27:42,400
repatriate the remains of the fall and according to international
347
00:27:42,480 –> 00:27:45,880
standards of practice for the dignified treatment of war dead.
348
00:27:46,640 –> 00:27:50,519
The Royal Thai Army continues to uphold human rights principles,
349
00:27:50,920 –> 00:27:55,119
international humanitarian law and the obligations of Thailand under the
350
00:27:55,160 –> 00:27:58,920
Geneva Conventions regarding the proper treatment of enemy soldiers and
351
00:27:58,960 –> 00:28:03,119
the deceased. The Second Army Area reported that the Cambodian
352
00:28:03,319 –> 00:28:07,759
side violated the ceasefire agreement with disturbances and weapon attacks
353
00:28:07,799 –> 00:28:12,480
found in multiple areas. The Thai side therefore responded accordingly
354
00:28:12,519 –> 00:28:16,640
to the situation. Regarding the meeting between military unit leaders
355
00:28:16,640 –> 00:28:20,039
in the area, the army spokesperson revealed that efforts to
356
00:28:20,079 –> 00:28:24,160
proceed with the meeting continue. The Royal Thai Army received
357
00:28:24,200 –> 00:28:27,519
a report from the Second Army Area regarding the situation
358
00:28:27,680 –> 00:28:31,839
along the Thai Cambodia border. After the Thai side complied
359
00:28:31,880 –> 00:28:35,160
with the ceasefire agreement after twenty four hundred hours and
360
00:28:35,279 –> 00:28:39,519
closely monitored and tracked the front line situation. Military units
361
00:28:39,519 –> 00:28:43,759
in the area reported Cambodian military operations in multiple incidents
362
00:28:43,799 –> 00:28:47,799
throughout the night until this morning. Disturbances and the use
363
00:28:47,839 –> 00:28:51,079
of supporting weapons firing into Thai territory were found in
364
00:28:51,200 –> 00:28:56,640
several areas including chong Boc Area, chong An Area, Santei Area,
365
00:28:56,880 –> 00:29:01,200
Prasata Kwai Area, and Fu Maar Hua area. The Thai
366
00:29:01,359 –> 00:29:05,240
side responded to the situation by deploying frontline forces and
367
00:29:05,359 –> 00:29:10,720
using supporting weapons to suppress the Cambodian military operations. Regarding
368
00:29:10,759 –> 00:29:15,720
this case, Major General Wintai Subri Army spokesperson issued a
369
00:29:15,799 –> 00:29:19,640
statement that following the joint agreement reached between the Thai
370
00:29:19,799 –> 00:29:23,839
government and the Cambodian government to seize military combat along
371
00:29:23,880 –> 00:29:27,440
the border area effective from twenty four hundred hours on
372
00:29:27,559 –> 00:29:31,079
the twenty eighth of July twenty twenty five, to create
373
00:29:31,119 –> 00:29:35,519
an opportunity for a peaceful atmosphere, reduce tensions, and promote
374
00:29:35,559 –> 00:29:40,519
cooperation between neighboring countries, the Royal Thai Army clarified that
375
00:29:40,559 –> 00:29:43,640
the Thai side strictly complied with the said agreement by
376
00:29:43,680 –> 00:29:47,279
implementing a cease fire in the Thai Cambodia border area
377
00:29:47,400 –> 00:29:51,440
immediately upon the designated time, with sincere intentions and firm
378
00:29:51,519 –> 00:29:56,559
adherents to the mutual commitment agreed upon by both governments. However,
379
00:29:57,000 –> 00:30:00,119
it is deeply regrettable that at the designated time, the
380
00:30:00,160 –> 00:30:04,359
Thai side continued to detect that the Cambodian side had
381
00:30:04,480 –> 00:30:08,279
used weapons to attack Thai territory at multiple points, which
382
00:30:08,319 –> 00:30:11,759
constitutes a deliberate violation of the agreement with the intention
383
00:30:11,920 –> 00:30:15,960
of destroying the system of mutual trust. The Royal Thai
384
00:30:16,079 –> 00:30:19,880
Army therefore condemns such actions and the Thai side finds
385
00:30:19,920 –> 00:30:23,799
it necessary to implement appropriate retaliatory measures under the legitimate
386
00:30:23,880 –> 00:30:27,839
right of self defense. The Royal Thai Army affirms that
387
00:30:27,880 –> 00:30:30,960
the Thai side did not use military force for aggression,
388
00:30:31,000 –> 00:30:34,839
but to defend against encroachment and maintain national sovereignty under
389
00:30:34,880 –> 00:30:40,759
international rules. Additionally, the Army spokesperson disclosed regarding the scheduled
390
00:30:40,799 –> 00:30:44,559
meeting between military unit leaders of both sides, which was
391
00:30:44,599 –> 00:30:47,519
planned to be held this morning, that efforts continue to
392
00:30:47,559 –> 00:30:52,000
proceed with discussions between military leaders of both countries. It
393
00:30:52,079 –> 00:30:54,759
is currently known that the time has been adjusted to
394
00:30:54,799 –> 00:30:59,599
ten o’clock hours and other details will be disclosed again. Today,
395
00:30:59,799 –> 00:31:03,200

the personnel who lost their lives in the performance of
405
00:31:43,079 –> 00:31:46,559
the duty to protect national sovereignty, and it will provide
406
00:31:46,599 –> 00:31:48,759
the best care for the rights and welfare of the
407
00:31:48,759 –> 00:31:51,920
families and descendants of these brave soldiers in honour of
408
00:31:51,960 –> 00:31:55,720
their sacrifice. As of the twenty fourth of July twenty
409
00:31:55,799 –> 00:32:01,519
twenty five, there have been a total of fourteen personnel casualty. Meanwhile,
410
00:32:01,759 –> 00:32:05,920
the Cambodian Ministry of National Defense has rejected the allegations
411
00:32:06,000 –> 00:32:09,160
made by a spokesperson for the Royal Thai Army who
412
00:32:09,240 –> 00:32:13,160
accused Cambodian forces of continuing to open fire despite the
413
00:32:13,200 –> 00:32:18,720
agreed ceasefire. Speaking at a press briefing, Ministry spokesperson Mainly
414
00:32:18,759 –> 00:32:23,599
Soakiter said the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces RCAF have been
415
00:32:23,640 –> 00:32:28,200
strictly implementing the ceasefire agreement made between the two countries’ leaders.
416
00:32:28,920 –> 00:32:31,920
We strongly reject the claims made by the Thai military
417
00:32:31,960 –> 00:32:37,160
spokesperson who alleged gunfire exchanges and violations of the ceasefire agreement.
418
00:32:37,519 –> 00:32:42,480
She said, Cambodian forces have strictly implemented and will continue
419
00:32:42,559 –> 00:32:46,960
to strictly implement the Army Command’s instructions and the ceasefire agreement,
420
00:32:47,240 –> 00:32:51,200
which took effect at midnight. She added. A statement made
421
00:32:51,200 –> 00:32:54,480
available by the Office of the Prime Minister of Cambodia
422
00:32:54,920 –> 00:32:58,200
indicated that the Cambodian PM says there’s no time to
423
00:32:58,279 –> 00:33:02,759
rest despite ceasefire. Prime Minister Sandek Moha Borva the pad
424
00:33:02,960 –> 00:33:06,079
han Mane said this morning that he cannot rest even
425
00:33:06,119 –> 00:33:09,440
though the frontline situation has eased following the cease fire
426
00:33:09,480 –> 00:33:12,680
that took effect at midnight in accordance with the agreement
427
00:33:12,759 –> 00:33:16,039
reached between Cambodia and Thailand at the special meeting in
428
00:33:16,119 –> 00:33:20,359
Malaysia yesterday. In a post on his social media platform,
429
00:33:20,759 –> 00:33:24,279
Sandek the Pade said that many critical tasks lie ahead,
430
00:33:24,640 –> 00:33:29,039
including monitoring the situation on the ground, supporting frontline forces,
431
00:33:29,400 –> 00:33:34,319
implementing appropriate policies for wounded and fallen soldiers, assisting hundreds
432
00:33:34,319 –> 00:33:37,880
of thousands of displaced people, and addressing the large scale
433
00:33:37,920 –> 00:33:41,839
return of Cambodian workers from Thailand. He added that his
434
00:33:41,920 –> 00:33:44,880
top priority in recent days has been to find a
435
00:33:44,960 –> 00:33:47,799
swift solution to end the fighting in order to save
436
00:33:47,920 –> 00:33:52,799
lives both military and civilian in the conflict zones. The
437
00:33:52,880 –> 00:33:56,880
sooner the fighting stops, the sooner the affected people, especially
438
00:33:56,920 –> 00:33:59,839
the displaced, can return to their homes and resume their
439
00:33:59,839 –> 00:34:03,440
life livelihoods, he wrote, At a time when the nation
440
00:34:03,599 –> 00:34:07,160
and our people are facing hardship, I may look a
441
00:34:07,240 –> 00:34:10,880
little older because of the gray hairs, he joked. Even
442
00:34:10,960 –> 00:34:13,360
if I look older and feel a little less strong
443
00:34:13,440 –> 00:34:16,679
than I did ten years ago, my determination to face
444
00:34:16,719 –> 00:34:20,880
these challenges remains unwavering. Let’s wait until the army and
445
00:34:21,000 –> 00:34:23,880
people are safe and the country has returned to peace.
446
00:34:24,320 –> 00:34:26,480
Then it won’t be too late to dye my hair.
447
00:34:27,320 –> 00:34:31,880
Sandek Hakamo Hussein arpad Teko Hansen, President of the Senate
448
00:34:31,920 –> 00:34:35,960
of Cambodia has praised the ceasefire initiative of US President
449
00:34:36,320 –> 00:34:40,039
Donald Trump, stressing that the achievement of the remarkable initiative
450
00:34:40,159 –> 00:34:43,039
has saved the lives of tens of thousands of people
451
00:34:43,079 –> 00:34:47,760
from the Cambodia Thailand war. First of all, I would
452
00:34:47,840 –> 00:34:51,639
like to express my gratitude to His Excellency President Donald

Trump for his visionary initiative in creating a ceasefire and
454
00:34:55,079 –> 00:34:59,599
peace between Cambodia and Thailand. This initiative is a tremendous
455
00:34:59,599 –> 00:35:03,199
achievement that has helped save countless lives in both Cambodia
456
00:35:03,239 –> 00:35:06,360
and Thailand, he said in a Facebook post last night.
457
00:35:07,119 –> 00:35:11,800
The Senate President also thanked the Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibraheim,
458
00:35:12,159 –> 00:35:16,320
who helped organize the meeting venue and facilitated this ceasefire agreement.
459
00:35:17,119 –> 00:35:21,320
This ceasefire and peace agreement is yielding positive and effective results,
460
00:35:21,599 –> 00:35:27,119
he emphasized. Moreover, sandeg Teko hun Sen extended his gratitude
461
00:35:27,119 –> 00:35:29,679
to China for its support, as well as to all
462
00:35:29,719 –> 00:35:33,960
friendly nations that have endorsed this ceasefire agreement. I also
463
00:35:34,000 –> 00:35:37,519
wish to thank the people of Cambodia and Thailand, along
464
00:35:37,559 –> 00:35:41,039
with both Nations armed forces for their steadfast support of
465
00:35:41,079 –> 00:35:46,320
this peace process, he concluded. Cambodia Ministry of Information reported
466
00:35:46,360 –> 00:35:51,119
that the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training said approximately
467
00:35:51,159 –> 00:35:55,239
two hundred three thousand, seven hundred and six Cambodian workers
468
00:35:55,320 –> 00:35:59,320
returned from Thailand between July twenty fourth and July twenty seventh,
469
00:35:59,440 –> 00:36:04,599
twenty twenty. Notably, one hundred and twenty thousand, four hundred
470
00:36:04,639 –> 00:36:09,480
and thirty eight Cambodians returned just yesterday. Today, more than
471
00:36:09,519 –> 00:36:13,000
one hundred and fifty thousand additional workers are expected to
472
00:36:13,079 –> 00:36:17,440
return from Thailand to Cambodia. Over this five day period,
473
00:36:17,880 –> 00:36:22,480
nearly four hundred thousand Cambodian workers will have returned. If
474
00:36:22,519 –> 00:36:26,840
the fighting continues, even more likely to come back. We
475
00:36:26,960 –> 00:36:29,880
had reported that the Royal Thai Army and the Cambodia
476
00:36:30,000 –> 00:36:33,360
National Ministry of Defense have both denied firing the ten
477
00:36:33,440 –> 00:36:37,760
projectiles that destroyed civilian houses and properties at Emerald Triangle,
478
00:36:38,239 –> 00:36:41,440
a city in Now on Thursday, just as both government
479
00:36:41,599 –> 00:36:45,280
establishments confirmed early in the morning on Sunday that fighting
480
00:36:45,400 –> 00:36:49,719
continued through Saturday night to Sunday morning night. Despite President
481
00:36:49,800 –> 00:36:53,960
Donald Trump of the United States US statement on Saturday
482
00:36:54,000 –> 00:36:56,679
that he has spoken on phone with both the Prime
483
00:36:56,760 –> 00:37:00,800
Minister of Cambodia and the acting Prime Minister of Thailand,
484
00:37:01,199 –> 00:37:04,440
asking the two parties to agree on immediate ceasefire, and
485
00:37:04,559 –> 00:37:08,159
failure to do so, according to Trump, US will not
486
00:37:08,280 –> 00:37:11,719
make any business deal with both countries. In his words,
487
00:37:12,079 –> 00:37:16,400
Trump said, we happen to be, by coincidence, currently dealing
488
00:37:16,400 –> 00:37:19,320
on trade with both countries, but do not want to
489
00:37:19,320 –> 00:37:22,519
make any deal with either country if they are fighting,
490
00:37:22,760 –> 00:37:25,679
and I have told them so. The call with Thailand
491
00:37:25,760 –> 00:37:29,320
is being made momentarily. The call with Cambodia has ended,
492
00:37:29,559 –> 00:37:33,039
but expect a call back regarding war stoppage and ceasefire
493
00:37:33,119 –> 00:37:36,679
based on what Thailand has to say. I am trying
494
00:37:36,719 –> 00:37:40,599
to simplify a complex situation. Many people are being killed
495
00:37:40,639 –> 00:37:43,320
in this war, but it very much reminds me of
496
00:37:43,360 –> 00:37:47,000
the conflict between Pakistan and India, which was brought to
497
00:37:47,039 –> 00:37:51,079
a successful hault. We have reported that Asia is apparently
498
00:37:51,119 –> 00:37:54,159
becoming a continent of War’s hope of achieving peace in
499
00:37:54,239 –> 00:37:57,880
the continent appeared slim since twenty twenty three, when fresh
500
00:37:57,960 –> 00:38:00,840
wars broke out in the Middle East Asia after Hamas
501
00:38:00,880 –> 00:38:04,960
attacked Israel, forcing Israel to launch a multi front wars
502
00:38:05,000 –> 00:38:09,599
in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, and Yemen. This occurred as Russia,
503
00:38:09,639 –> 00:38:12,320
that has parts of its territory in Asia, had in
504
00:38:12,400 –> 00:38:15,840
twenty twenty two launched a full scale war against its
505
00:38:15,840 –> 00:38:20,719
neighbouring European country Ukraine, which The multiple wars have led
506
00:38:20,760 –> 00:38:23,880
to millions of deaths, with many in the world expecting
507
00:38:23,920 –> 00:38:27,119
an end soon. But while many in the world hoped
508
00:38:27,119 –> 00:38:30,360
for permanent end to the deadly wars, another fresh war
509
00:38:30,440 –> 00:38:33,559
broke out during the week on Thursday in the Southeast
510
00:38:33,599 –> 00:38:38,119
Asia between Cambodia and Thailand after soldiers from Royal Thai
511
00:38:38,320 –> 00:38:42,559
Army of fourteenth Infantry Battalion on Wednesday stepped on a
512
00:38:42,679 –> 00:38:47,239
landmine at huaiban Chong and Ma nan Yuen District, Uben
513
00:38:47,320 –> 00:38:51,760
Ratchathani Province within the Thai Cambodia border area, causing seba
514
00:38:51,880 –> 00:38:56,119
injury to one Thailand soldier while four other soldiers sustained
515
00:38:56,159 –> 00:38:59,679
some level of injuries, making the acting Prime Minister of
516
00:38:59,679 –> 00:39:04,079
Thaian funtham we Chaiai to recall the country’s ambassador from
517
00:39:04,119 –> 00:39:08,360
Panom Pen and expelled Cambodia’s ambassador to Thailand, leading to
518
00:39:08,400 –> 00:39:13,519
heavy military confrontations starting next day morning, which Cambodian news
519
00:39:13,519 –> 00:39:18,639
agency on Saturday reported that tens of thousands of innocent Cambodians,
520
00:39:18,679 –> 00:39:22,519
including children, pregnant women and the elderly, have been forced
521
00:39:22,519 –> 00:39:26,960
to flee the military aggression along the border areas including Priya, Vihir,
522
00:39:27,239 –> 00:39:31,519
Odominchi and Persit, and The Royal Thai Army also on
523
00:39:31,599 –> 00:39:34,679
Saturday released a video of its men hoisting the Thai
524
00:39:34,719 –> 00:39:37,800
flag at a location and stated that the Thai national
525
00:39:37,880 –> 00:39:42,559
flag was raised atop Fu Maqueya following Thai military operations
526
00:39:42,559 –> 00:39:45,679
to assault and seize the Fu Maquaa area, where it
527
00:39:45,719 –> 00:39:49,360
said the Cambodian forces had been heavily positioned, adding that
528
00:39:49,400 –> 00:39:52,880
the area was successfully captured during the evening of war
529
00:39:52,960 –> 00:39:57,400
on Friday. While the Prime Minister of Thailand, Piton Tan Shinawat,

00:39:57,400 –> 00:40:00,400
who is currently on suspension, blane the court cards of
531
00:40:00,400 –> 00:40:05,000
the war on alleged powerful criminals in Cambodia, saying the
532
00:40:05,039 –> 00:40:08,159
conflict stems from the Thai government’s efforts to crack down
533
00:40:08,239 –> 00:40:12,559
on call center crimes, dismantling a network of immense financial
534
00:40:12,599 –> 00:40:17,599
interests linked to influential groups in Cambodia. Notwithstanding the Prime
535
00:40:17,679 –> 00:40:22,639
Minister of Cambodia, Sandek Mohaborva thapade han Mane, in a statement,
536
00:40:22,800 –> 00:40:26,800
called on Cambodians not to attack businesses and citizens of
537
00:40:26,880 –> 00:40:30,800
Thailand living in Cambodia, adding that after the Prime Minister
538
00:40:30,880 –> 00:40:34,639
of Malaysia and the rotating Chairman of Asian Hawai Brahem
539
00:40:34,719 –> 00:40:38,039

a cease fire slated to start on Friday by twelve

542
00:40:45,599 –> 00:40:49,400
him that Thailand has agreed to the ceasefire, Thailand rescinded
543
00:40:49,480 –> 00:40:53,920
its decision and continued military actions against Cambodia and the

00:44:15,440 –> 00:44:18,480
all in the nation, which could be recalled that earlier

00:44:39,119 –> 00:44:42,039
and became a popular song that was remixed by many
602
00:44:42,119 –> 00:44:45,760
to their desired tastes and lyrics. After the viral clip showed,
603
00:44:45,800 –> 00:44:49,360

Nubu as everyone’s mother, her common title for first ladies
605
00:44:53,320 –> 00:44:56,280
in the country. The nursing students refused to accept the
606
00:44:56,320 –> 00:44:59,840

00:46:10,920 –> 00:46:14,840
have inspired millions, especially young girls, who now see proof
625
00:46:14,880 –> 00:46:18,360
that the dreams are valid and achievable. You have inspired
626
00:46:18,400 –> 00:46:21,400
me too, and it’s great for a nation to have
627
00:46:21,480 –> 00:46:24,400
assets that are the hope of today, tomorrow, and the
628
00:46:24,480 –> 00:46:29,000
day after. You represent that hope. You ignited that hope,
629
00:46:29,079 –> 00:46:32,360
and we will continue to encourage you, the next generation
630
00:46:32,760 –> 00:46:36,840
and other generations after you. President Tanubu sed amid cheers
631
00:46:36,920 –> 00:46:41,159

of the final match, noting how the team’s performance lifted
633
00:46:44,679 –> 00:46:49,239
the nation’s spirits and united Nigerians from all walks of life.
634
00:46:49,320 –> 00:46:53,199
Your victory represents more than a sporting accomplishment. It is
635
00:46:53,239 –> 00:46:59,559
a triumph of courage, determination, discipline, and consistency. Honestly, I
636
00:46:59,639 –> 00:47:02,480
didn’t want to watch the match. I didn’t want to
637
00:47:02,519 –> 00:47:05,639
have high blood pressure, but people came in and turned
638
00:47:05,719 –> 00:47:09,280
my TV on that channel. When it was two to zero,
639
00:47:09,719 –> 00:47:13,159
I got very offended and restless, but I was still
640
00:47:13,199 –> 00:47:17,880
watching with the spirit of resilience, determination and courage, and
641
00:47:18,039 –> 00:47:21,760
after that penalty, my strength was lifted and I believe
642
00:47:21,840 –> 00:47:25,039
that of the nation was lifted too. But you almost
643
00:47:25,119 –> 00:47:28,960
made me angrier, hungrier because your mother, the First Lady,
