Situations on the Khmer-Thai borders as at 8th April remained tense in some areas but calm in other parts, reports Radio Free Asia.
A commander of Border Unit 81 said that the situations at Veal Entry and Phnom Trop areas remained tense as both the Thai commando and Cambodian troops are busy digging their trenches days and nights. He said: "No one withdrew. We remained at the same positions but I think they (the Thais) are a bit scared to push forward. Both sides are digging trenches everyday. We are waiting for the results of the meeting between our leaders."
On the morning of Wednesday, military leaders from both sides met on the top of Phnom Trop mountain to ease tensions and to avoid future clashes.
Reports from Ouddor Meanchey province said that a group of Thai soldiers who came to dig trenches on top of Choup Koki mountain in Banteay Ampil district on Tuesday had withdrawn to the Thai side of the borders on Wednesday.
Mr. Nuon Kley, a villager from Choup Koki said that many villager had left their village because they are afriad. He said: "They (the Thais) have retreated to their bases...but villagers are still afraid and left their village (to move to lower parts of the mountain)."
Situations at Choam Sa-Ngam in Anlong Veng district of Ouddor Meanchey province remained calm but Cambodian troops are ordered to remain on high alert when news arrived that a group of Thai troops had been deployed in the areas, reports RFA.
At Ta Moan Thom areas in Ouddor Meanchey province, Mr. Neak Vong, commander of battalion 42, said that the situations remain calm and that troops on both sides remained in their barracks and that tourists are still flocking to visit the temple. He said: "They stay in their barracks and we stay in our barracks...No problems, we are drinking together (with Thai troops) everyday."
On the morning of Tuesday, the confrontations at Phnom Trop nearly lead to armed clashes when the Thai commando forces had attempted to cross into Cambodian terriotries. But the confrontations eased when those thai troops retreated, reports RFA.
