In a landmark agreement brokered by Malaysia, Thailand and Cambodia have reached a ceasefire deal to end the violent conflict that has displaced over 260,000 people. The two South East Asian countries have been embroiled in a territorial dispute over the Preah Vihear temple for years, leading to frequent clashes along their shared border.
The ceasefire agreement, signed in the presence of international mediators, including former US President Donald Trump, marks a significant step towards peace in the region. Both Thailand and Cambodia have committed to resolving their differences through dialogue and peaceful negotiation.
The conflict has taken a heavy toll on the civilian population, with thousands of families forced to flee their homes to escape the violence. Humanitarian organizations have been working tirelessly to provide relief and support to those affected by the conflict.
As the ceasefire takes effect, there is hope that stability and security will be restored to the region, allowing displaced families to return to their homes and rebuild their lives. The international community has welcomed the agreement and pledged continued support for peace efforts in Thailand and Cambodia.

Tensions between Thailand and Cambodia reached a boiling point as soldiers from both countries fired at each other along the disputed border. The clash comes shortly after Thailand's ambassador to Cambodia was recalled, raising concerns about the deteriorating relations between the two nations.
The skirmish, which took place near the Preah Vihear temple, resulted in casualties on both sides. The exact number of casualties is still unclear, with conflicting reports from different sources. The incident has sparked fears of further escalation and has raised questions about the root cause of the conflict.

As the situation continues to unfold, international observers are calling for a peaceful resolution to the conflict and urging both Thailand and Cambodia to engage in dialogue to prevent further violence. The border clash serves as a stark reminder of the fragile relationship between the two neighboring countries and the need for diplomacy to prevail.
