Thailand and Cambodia agree to ceasefire, freeze troops, and aid civilians.

Thailand and Cambodia have signed a ceasefire agreement to halt hostilities along their disputed border, committing to freeze troop positions and allow displaced civilians to return home. This agreement follows weeks of renewed clashes that resulted in over 40 fatalities and the displacement of nearly one million civilians. The ceasefire aims to prevent further escalation of violence amidst a long-standing territorial dispute rooted in colonial-era border demarcations, particularly surrounding the Preah Vihear temple site. Despite the agreement, tensions remain high, with both sides accusing each other of failing to adhere to previous commitments, underscoring the complexity of the situation and the urgent need for sustained diplomatic engagement to stabilize the region.
