Thailand–Cambodia border war leaves hundreds of thousands displaced

A regional meeting on the Thailand–Cambodia conflict has been postponed at Bangkok’s request. Asean foreign ministers were due to meet on Tuesday to discuss the crisis.

A week of heavy fighting has killed dozens and displaced about half a million people on both sides. Border communities have borne the brunt of the violence and mass displacement.

Human Rights Watch says domestic politics are increasingly driving the conflict. In Thailand, the tensions come amid reports of a snap election planned for February. —Dec 16, 2025
