Leaders from Cambodia and Thailand have agreed to an unconditional ceasefire, ending five days of violent border conflict in which more than 30 people were killed. Both sides blame each other for starting the violence, DW reports.
After five days of intense and deadly fighting along the Thai-Cambodian border, a ceasefire agreement has been reached, brokered by Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. Both Cambodia and Thailand have agreed to an immediate and unconditional halt to hostilities, marking a crucial step toward restoring peace and security in the region. The conflict displaced over 200,000 people and resulted in dozens of deaths.
At evacuation shelters, Thai and Cambodian civilians expressed relief and hope that the violence is truly over. Many evacuees, like Thai vendor Usa Dasri and Cambodian farmer Chhuot Nhav, shared their longing to return home and resume normal life. While the ceasefire brings optimism, families on both sides remain cautiously hopeful that the fragile truce will hold.
