Thailand and Cambodia resume fighting along border - Polidicks

[quote=BBCNEWS] Thai and Cambodian forces have clashed for a fourth day along their disputed border, despite calls by the UN for a ceasefire. Field commanders on both sides said artillery, mortars and rifle fire were exchanged at nightfall on Monday around Cambodia's Ta Krabey temple. Twelve soldiers have been killed and 36,000 people displaced in the recent clashes. Both sides blame each other for the latest fighting, which began on Friday. On Saturday, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon called on the two neighbours to declare a ceasefire. Mr Ban said their border dispute could not be resolved by military means and both sides needed to engage in "serious dialogue". 'Not stay still' The Ta Moan and Ta Krabey Hindu temples - which lie at the centre of the dispute - stand in a jungle area claimed by both sides. The Cambodian Defence Ministry said Thai shelling had "damaged" the temples during clashes over the weekend, but did not give further details. It also said attacks had hit civilian villages, and a school and 10 houses had been destroyed, according to Reuters news agency. About 17,000 people had been evacuated, it added. Meanwhile, a Cambodian government spokesman, Phay Siphan, said "some Thai nationals" were taken into custody for "spying".

[QUOTE=Psychokitten;29422316]Read the article jackwagon.[/QUOTE] The article says nothing about why the fighting began other than "border dispute".

[QUOTE=Explosions;29422351]The article says nothing about why the fighting began other than "border dispute".[/QUOTE] Both sides want a specific area of land. They can't come to an agreement over it, so they try to muscle each other off of it.
