In latest presser, #Thailand accuses #Cambodia of continual attacks on Thai soil Dec 24. "If they (Cambodia) want us to stop firing, they have to stop firing at us first" says #Thailand military. #Bangkok says ##Phnompenh launched >80 rockets into area of Sa Kaeo province today

Foreign embassies like #Australia, #France in #Cambodia urge #Thailand & Cambodia to "engage in frank negotiations" at General Border Committee meeting to achieve lasting conflict resolution. Reports of new #Thai attacks Dec 24 send school children fleeing https://t.co/Z4pAl2kKTt

Dec 24 is day set for General Border Committee meeting to resolve #Thailand-#Cambodia conflict as agreed at @ASEAN foreign ministers' meeting. But #Phnompenh still reporting of attacks by #Thai military. Local Cambodia media also reporting #Bangkok may pull out if demands not met

#Thailand @MFAThai @nikorndej says venue for 2-day General Border Committee meeting to discuss #Thai-#Cambodia ceasefire Dec 24 still being determined. But reiterates ceasefire cannot just be on paper or verbal commitments but "genuine" commitment & "political will" by #phnompenh

Day after special @ASEAN foreign ministers' meeting to mediate #Thailand-#Cambodia conflict, #Phnompenh continues to report of more attacks by #Bangkok on Dec 23 morn. Cambodia also asking the General Border Committee meeting be held in #Malaysia Dec 24 https://t.co/W0RXVGm1IC

Even while special @ASEAN foreign ministers' meeting to help resolve #Thailand-#Cambodia conflict was underway in #Malaysia, #Phnompenh accuses #Bangkok of its continuous attack on its territory. The 2 nations now agreed to discuss potential ceasefire on Dec 24 after >2 weeks

#Thailand @MFAThai releases statement after emergency @ASEAN foreign ministers' meeting on #Thai-#Cambodia conflict saying it hopes to see "Cambodia’s sincerity reflected in concrete actions in pursuit of genuine & lasting peace, not merely peace on paper" https://t.co/2vOLs1Prex

#Thailand & #Cambodia have agreed with their fellow @ASEAN member states to utilize the General Border Committee platform to "discuss the implementation and verification of the ceasefire" between the 2 nations on Dec 24. This after an emergency Foreign Ministers' meeting today

#Cambodia has repeatedly denied laying new landmines at #Thailand-Cambodia border as alleged by #Thais. #Malaysia #PM @anwaribrahim again spoke with PMs of both nations urging them to use Dec 22 @ASEAN meeting as "constructive platform" to "negotiate openly, resolve differences"

#Thailand reports of new injury related to landmine at #Thai-#Cambodia border, marking 8th such injury due to landmines. A solider reportedly lost his foot in latest incident. Doesn't bode well as it comes day before @ASEAN foreign ministers to meet Dec 22 https://t.co/no4V2zsjab

Displaced in #Cambodia now surpassed 1/2 million people due to ongoing #Thailand-Cambodia border conflict that's lasted for 2 weeks. 100s of 1000s also left homeless on #Thai side. #US #Malaysia #China have stepped in to try & mediate. @ASEAN FMs to meet Dec 22 #NoWarThaiCambodia

#Cambodia information ministry just released this update accusing #Thailand of attacking a spot close to a temporary displacement site in #SiemReap Province this Monday morning. The aerial attack it said is 70km into Cambodia soil. I had visited that displacement site before

#Tourism in #SiemReap #Cambodia takes a hit as visitor numbers dwindle due to ongoing border clashes between #Thailand & Cambodia. Siem Reap is some 2.5 hours drive from closest border area experiencing conflict https://t.co/5tFetTq3MS https://t.co/WqRTNX9aRy

#Cambodia's former PM @hunsencambodia said though the land borders have closed due to the ongoing clashes with #Thailand, air travel is still available. He said for the #Thais in Cambodia but living close to the #Vietnam border, he suggested that they leave via Vietnam instead
