Blood-Stained Rosewood Business in Cambodia

It is alarming for all with regard to the firing to death of dozens of Cambodians by Thai armed forces authorities while Cambodian poor community people and destitute villagers were hired to trespass the border of Thailand in order to illegally log a rosewood or luxury wood, this killing is still executing. So far there are hundreds of people were killed, injured and missing. The ministry of foreign affairs had sent a series of diplomatic note to the Thai embassy but Thai state still ignored at all over its army repeated atrocity or brutality.

This is a horrific and unbelievable tragedy because of that, on behalf of a civilized prominent nation located in Southeast Asia, Thailand turned to execute an illegal extrajudicial killing of Cambodian people. Increasingly sad is that the regional poor community Cambodians are still taking a risk in spite of they had heard about a series of killing by the Thailand army’s bullets.

Poverty is one reason to force community people to across the border to illegally log the wood but Thailand's army also must stop such brutal killing of Cambodians anymore. However, there are some bad guys of a reason behind such blood-stained rosewood business who tantalizes the poor community logging woods or timbers. The people wish only to seek for a job to do for some slight revenue to feed family and daily surviving. So it should not have some bad guys egg them out or inspire them to go killed like this because of crossing a border to Thailand.

It is the mistake of both local poor community people who decide to take high risk to be hired for logging a rosewood in Thailand in order to get paid and local authorities who are not able to prevent them trespassing a border to Thailand. But it is the worst mistake of the rosewood businesspeople who are not punished by their crime against the forest law of Cambodia. Because of that bootleg luxury wood businesspeople so the poor sad citizen’s blood still is shedding.

It is reported that the rosewood businesspeople are influential persons in local regions who egg local people out to across border logging illegal woods in Thailand areas. Therefore those bad wood businesspeople(criminals stand behind bloodwood business) must be brought for serious punishment according to the national law.

Though, the veneer of law enforcement has made the criminals [those who are running a wood business] probably incorporate with local authorities to run this blood-stained wood business at the border for illegal export purposes. Without any action of the government against those powerful businesspeople, so they are still able to exploit the innocent citizen’s bloodshed and therefore poverty could not be reduced in line with the government’s national development strategy and far-reaching reforms.

Apparently, the move of this business with regard to the incorporation (accomplice) of the government’s officials and it affects to the own government national strategic development plan including the measure to prevent forest. So in order to resolve this blood rosewood business, they must stop activities of those who are behind the poor community people who always egg them out in illegal logging woods or timber in Thailand.

The the government must take seriously action against those businesspeople so that they can stop poor innocent local villagers across the border to log woods or timbers.
