Various of people in shelter STORYLINE: Thais gathered in a shelter in Surin on Thursday said they were skeptical that another round of negotiations can again halt the intensifying conflict with Cambodia. Many were forced to abandon their homes to seek shelter miles away. When fighting broke out between Thailand and Cambodia in July, diplomatic arm-twisting forced the warring neighbors to agree a truce. That’s now broken down with days of resumed cross-border shelling and infantry clashes. Several hundred people, mostly Thai farming families, have huddled at a temporary shelter, trying to keep to domestic routines. They have no idea when they can return home. For now, they wait and keep an eye on news updates from the television or social media. They hear talk of U.S. President Donald Trump perhaps pressing the combatants to make peace, as he did before, and expressions of concern from regional leaders. But it gives them little hope. We’ve been here before, they say. “Will they listen to us? Will they follow any agreement? What if they say one thing, then they don’t follow it? What will we do? Will there be a price to pay? Will it just hurt our feelings? Then we might have to run for our lives again,” said farmer Suban Saeng-gnam, sitting with her friends. Both sides blame the other for the breakdown in the truce that began with skirmishes on Sunday, then erupted into intense fighting on Monday. Nationalist sentiment is high on both sides. Phayom Yuanjit feels the same way. “If you can negotiate that would be good. If you can make an agreement, that would be good. But I don’t know. We make so many agreements and they didn’t work and the soldiers from the other side keep provoking our forces,” she said.
