A fierce war of words keeps Thailand and Cambodia on edge
Thailand and Cambodia are engaged in a fierce war of words amid a border dispute, despite a fragile ceasefire. Cambodian officials have drawn international attention by accusing Thailand of violating the ceasefire, while Thailand struggles to counter these tactics. The conflict has historical roots, with Thailand's reluctance to involve the International Court of Justice stemming from past territorial losses. Thailand is now accusing Cambodia of laying new anti-personnel mines along the border, adding a new dimension to the dispute.
