"Full and unconditional ceasefire"

I did say it would fizzle out in a few days. Still, too many lives lost over a useless patch of jungle, a handful of contested temples, and governmental feelings of insecurity on both sides. Disgraceful.

Blame the French ....

This isn't looking good after yesterday's optimism. I've actually been seeing reports all morning, but now this.

Thai army condemns Cambodia for breaking ceasefire agreement

The Thai army on Tuesday condemns Cambodia for intentionally breaking a ceasefire agreement which took effect at 12am Tuesday, by firing at many Thai locations afterwards.

Thai army spokesman Maj Gen Winthai Suvaree said at the army headquarters Tuesday morning that after midnight Cambodia fired its weapons at many areas on the Thai soil.

The Royal Thai Army said in a statement that Cambodia fired at Thai locations in Chong An Ma, Chong Bok, Prasat Ta Kwai, Phu Makhuea and Sam Tae areas.

“That is the intention to violate the (ceasefire) agreement and ruin a mutual trust system. The army condemns the act,” Maj Gen Winthai said.

The army spokesman said that Thailand had to carry out retaliatory measures properly in accordance with its legitimate right to self-defence.

He said that Thailand did not make any invasion but was blocking incursion and protecting its sovereignty in compliance with international rules.

Thailand complied strictly with the ceasefire agreement by stopping firing immediately at midnight, Maj Gen Winthai said.

The spokesman also said that local military commanders from both sides were still trying to have a discussion on Tuesday and the meeting was rescheduled at 10am.

There were reports that regional army commanders of both sides would meet at the Chong Chom border crossing in Thailand's Surin province.

The RTA have basically confirmed the above in an official Press Release 21 minutes ago.

However, they are still pressing ahead with peace talks.
