Thailand and Cambodia Agree Swift Ceasefire After Deadly Border Clashes
THAILAND, JUL 29 – The ceasefire ends the deadliest clashes in over a decade that killed at least 35 and displaced around 200,000 people, following mediation led by Malaysia amid U.S. trade pressure.
- Early Monday, the leaders agreed to a ceasefire after five days of fighting, according to officials.
- The conflict, which began on Thursday over a vague colonial-era cartographical dispute, involved a land mine explosion that wounded five Thai soldiers.
- Displacement figures with around 140,000 in Cambodia and 150,000 in Thailand coincided with at least 43 people killed in the clashes.
- Residents like Lat Laem returned after the ceasefire held, with Cambodia, Thailand, and Malaysia calling it a 'vital first step' towards peace.
- They also committed to halt troop movements and avoid escalation ahead of a joint border committee meeting on August 4.
