Kriżi fil-Konfini: Tliet Ċivili Midruba fil-Konflitt bejn it-Tajlandja u l-Kambodja Min, X’ġara, Fejn, Meta, Għaliex u Kif? Fit-24 ta’ Lulju 2025, il-fruntiera bejn Surin fit-Tajlandja u Oddar Meanchey fil-Kambodja rat konfront militari ġdid li ħalla mill-inqas tliet ċivili midruba wara attakk bir-rokit BM-21 mill-Kambodja. Iż-żewġ pajjiżi qed jikkumbattu fuq il-kontroll tal-Emerald Triangle, żona storika u strateġika fejn jiltaqgħu l-fruntieri tat-Tajlandja, il-Kambodja u l-Laos. --- Kif Eskala l-Kunflitt? Il-konfront beda meta unità Tajlandiża ħdejn it-tempju Ta Muen Thom osservat drone Kambodjan u sitt suldati armati jersqu lejn il-post. Skont l-armata Tajlandiża, il-Kambodja fetħet il-fjamma l-ewwel, u żewġ rokit BM-21 laqtu distrett residenzjali. Il-Kambodja wieġbet li kienet qed tiddefendi t-territorju tagħha skont il-liġi internazzjonali. --- Diplomazija Fqajra u Eskalazzjoni Militari * It-Tajlandja rtirat l-ambaxxatur tagħha minn Phnom Penh u espulsat dak Kambodjan. * Il-Kambodja għamlet l-istess u naqqset ir-rappreżentanza diplomatika tagħha. * It-Tajlandja uża jet F-16 biex tattakka żewġ miri militari Kambodjani. * Il-Kambodja akkużat lill-ġar tagħha li kisret il-Karta tan-Nazzjonijiet Uniti u bombardjat żewġ provinċji. --- Tensjoni Storika fuq l-Emerald Triangle Il-kunflitt fuq l-Emerald Triangle ilu jbaqbaq għal aktar minn seklu, b’episodji vjolenti fl-2008–2011 u f’Mejju 2025 meta suldat Kambodjan inqatel. Il-Kambodja ressqet il-każ quddiem il-Qorti Internazzjonali tal-Ġustizzja (ICJ) fit-16 ta’ Ġunju 2025, u qed titlob deċiżjoni legali dwar erba’ siti storiċi. --- Impatt fuq Malta Sa issa, ma hemmx impatt dirett fuq Malta. Madankollu, il-kunflitt jista’ jkollu implikazzjonijiet diplomatiċi u ekonomiċi għal pajjiżi membri tal-ASEAN u l-UE. Jekk Malta tkun involuta f’operazzjonijiet ta’ paċi, kummerċ reġjonali jew diplomazija internazzjonali, il-kriżi tista’ taffettwa l-istabbiltà tal-Asja tax-Xlokk. --- Fehmiet Diverġenti u Aġġornamenti * Il-Kambodja tgħid li l-attakk Tajlandiż kien provokazzjoni mhux mistennija u li l-fruntiera għadha minata mill-gwerer tal-passat. * It-Tajlandja tgħid li l-minjieri huma ġodda u jikkostitwixxu ksur tal-Konvenzjoni ta’ Ottawa. * Il-kunflitt eskala wara li suldat Tajlandiż tilef riġlejh f’esplużjoni ta’ mina fit-23 ta’ Lulju. --- Spjegazzjoni: Għaliex l-Emerald Triangle Huwa Sensittiv? L-Emerald Triangle jinkludi tempji Khmer antiki u fruntieri mhux demarkati. Il-mappa tal-1907 bejn Franza u Siam (illum Tajlandja) hija s-sors ta’ interpretazzjonijiet legali differenti. Il-Kambodja tuża mappa ta’ skala 1:200,000, filwaqt li t-Tajlandja tuża waħda ta’ 1:50,000. --- Konklużjoni u Ħarsa ’l Quddiem Esperti bħall-Prof. Chansambath Bong mill-Australian National University jissuġġerixxu li soluzzjoni sostenibbli teħtieġ fiduċja reċiproka u separazzjoni bejn il-kunflitti territorjali u l-kooperazzjoni ekonomika. Il-Qorti Internazzjonali tal-Ġustizzja tista’ tkun l-uniku forum għal soluzzjoni paċifika u legali. --- Sorsi * DW: Civilians wounded as Thailand, Cambodia trade fire * News18: Thailand-Cambodia Border Clash LIVE Updates * The Diplomat: Thai and Cambodian Troops Clash * East Asia Forum: Strategic distrust hinders Cambodia–Thailand border resolutions * Chiang Rai Times: Thailand Cuts Diplomatic Ties with Cambodia --- Aktar Qari * Al Jazeera: Thailand recalls ambassador amid border tensions * CD-Center: Cambodia’s Strategic Responses to the Border Dispute * CNBC: Thailand deploys F-16 fighter jet --- Naqilgħu minn xiri kwalifikanti permezz ta’ din il-link tal-Amazon: https://amzn.to/3Avoaxz Lest li tidħol aktar fil-fond fis-suġġetti li qed niddiskutu?

Thailand, Cambodia Denies Shelling In Lao As War Enters 4th Day NonStop #Issues #Thailand #Cambodia #EmeraldTriangle #Lao #Trump #US ©July 27th, 2025 ®July 27, 2025 12:57 pm Royal Thai Army and the Cambodia National Ministry of Defense have both denied firing the 10 projectiles that destroyed civilian houses and properties at Emerald Triangle, a city in Lao on Thursday, just as both government establishments confirmed early in the morning on Sunday that fighting continued through Saturday night to Sunday morning night despite President Donald Trump of the United States, US statement on Saturday that he has spoken on phone with both the Prime Minister of Cambodia and the acting Prime Minister of Thailand, asking the two parties to agree on immediate ceasefire and failure to do so, according to Trump, US will not make any business deal with both countries, in his words, Trump said; “We happen to be, by coincidence, currently dealing on Trade with both Countries, but do not want to make any Deal, with either Country, if they are fighting, and I have told them so, the call with Thailand is being made momentarily, the call with Cambodia has ended, but expect to call back regarding War stoppage and Ceasefire based on what Thailand has to say, I am trying to simplify a complex situation, many people are being killed in this War, but it’s very much reminds me of the Conflict between Pakistan and India, which was brought to a successful halt.” #OsazuwaAkonedo
