Cambodia-Thailand tension “going from bad to worse”

Al JazeeraThursday, December 11, 2025 at 1:44:32 PM
  • Renewed clashes between Cambodia and Thailand have escalated tensions along their disputed border, resulting in multiple casualties, including seven civilian deaths and three Thai soldiers. Both nations have accused each other of initiating hostilities, undermining a previously brokered ceasefire agreement.
  • This escalation is significant as it threatens regional stability and raises concerns over the safety of civilians in the border areas. The conflict has already led to mass evacuations and heightened military actions, including airstrikes by Thailand.
  • The ongoing violence reflects a long-standing territorial dispute that has seen intermittent clashes over the years. The recent resurgence of hostilities highlights the fragility of diplomatic efforts, such as the ceasefire brokered by former President Trump, and raises questions about the effectiveness of international mediation in resolving such conflicts.
