After five days of intense fighting along the Thailand-Cambodia border, which left at least 38 dead and displaced over 260,000 people, both countries have agreed to an immediate and unconditional ceasefire. The conflict, rooted in a long-standing territorial dispute near ancient temples, escalated rapidly, drawing international concern and mediation efforts. U.S. President Donald Trump and other global leaders applied diplomatic and economic pressure, helping broker the truce during talks in Malaysia. Despite the ceasefire, accusations of violations and sporadic violence persist, raising doubts about the truce's durability. The crisis has exposed the limitations of regional diplomacy and highlighted the risk of further instability in Southeast Asia.
