UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has called for a ceasefire and said the neighbours should launch "serious dialogue" to resolve the dispute, according to a spokesman.

Mas de 5.000 personas desalojadas este fin de semana y unos 30 muertos entre ambos bandos, por la disputa del famoso templo en la frontera, que la ONU reconocio como parte de Camboya.

Muchos de los que vivimos aqui sospechamos que el conflicto no tiene mas razones que levantar el animo nacionalista de los tailandeses, especialmente el de los "Amarillos" fieles seguidores del Rey ahora que se acercan las elecciones y los posibles enfrentamientos con los Rojos que siguen manifestandose aunque en menor numero cada fin de semana.
