What's fuelling the conflict between Thailand and Cambodia? | Inside Story

It’s a conflict with deep colonial roots, and once again, it’s turned violent. Thailand and Cambodia have long disputed territory on their border—a line drawn by French occupation. Tensions have flared before—but this latest violence is among the worst in years. It comes at a time of political upheaval in Thailand. Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has been suspended by the Constitutional Court—accused of breaching ministerial ethics after a leaked phone call with Cambodia’s former leader, Hun Sen. So, what’s behind the latest flashpoint—and is there a risk of a bigger conflict? Presenter: Adrian Finighan Guests: Youk Chhang - Political Analyst and Director of the Documentation Center of Cambodia. He's also a survivor of the Khmer Rouge killing fields. Jim Laurie, Author and Journalist, focusing on Cambodia, Vietnam, and Thailand.
