Cambodia-Thailand ceasefire still "fragile" as refugees hoping to return home

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChLtXXpo4Ge1ReTEboVvTDg https://ift.tt/4BKFwbj The Thailand-Cambodia border, where fighting has raged since last week, is now calm following a ceasefire deal on Monday in Malaysia. However, Professor of International Relations at Chulalongkorn University, Thitinan Pongsudhirak, said there is still a tendency from both sides of the conflict to "provoke." "The ceasefire agreement is fragile," Thitinan said. Border communities in Thailand and Cambodia bore the brunt of the five-day conflict between the neighbours, the heaviest fighting between them in over a decade. With calm returning to the frontier, some residents like Thai citizen Koon Kantho who also fled her house for a day during clashes in 2011 are making their way back to their villages to see what is left of their homes and lives. Koon said she never imagined losing the home this way, and hopes that the government will step in to help. "I don't know where I will live now," she said. "It's all gone, nothing is left."
