Now the guns are silent, but the war of words continues unabated. Both sides make each other responsible for military use. Thailand's Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva adopt martial: "We Thais love peace, but we are also ready to fight.." And the State Department published a indignant statement: "Cambodian troops opened fire." Thailand had to defend himself.
Cambodian Foreign Minister Hor Namhong, also takes a different: About 300 soldiers were on Friday afternoon and again on Saturday morning invaded from neighboring Cambodia and were attacked on a broad front, he writes in a complaint to the UN Security Council. Another 20 kilometers beyond the border had taken Thai grenades.
Even the Preah Vihear temple, had been seriously damaged. The bitter dispute Hindu monument of the 11th Century Angkor Wat is next to the most beautiful temples throughout Southeast Asia. UNESCO has declared the holy place for world cultural heritage. But for years, arguing Thailand and Cambodia fiercely for access.
The temple belongs to Cambodia, but to reach from the Cambodian side difficult. Thailand claimed a strip of 4.6 square kilometers around the building - and thus blocks the development of the system to the public. The Foreign Office in Berlin advised because of border disputes flaring up again and again for a long time to travel into the disputed area.
Again and again is also shooting starts. On 29 Last December, the situation escalated again: the Cambodians arrested seven activists of the "Thai Patriot's Network (PAD), which wanted to document with a provocative action in the disputed area of Thailand to own it. Tough negotiations were five of them after tough negotiations and a show trial, four weeks later deported from Cambodia.
But the two most prominent members of the "yellow shirts" associated Patriot force, a court for illegal crossing the border, intrusion into a restricted military area and espionage to eight and six years in prison since then since the May massacre of last year, already troubled domestic political scene in Thailand is similar again to a seething cauldron: not only strengthened the "red shirts" demand the resignation of Prime Minister Abhisit and his government.
The "yellow shirts" have abandoned their former allies and make massive pressure to get him to chase out of office. He was in a confrontation with Cambodia too lax and too cowardly sellouts is a Thai territory, it raises the Patriot force against blatant. For next Friday announced the PAD at a mass demonstration.
The network hopes after the shooting at the temple to feed by nationalist forces. It threatens a pincer movement on Sunday to go and the "redshirts" back on the road. Activists from their stronghold of Chiang Mai have already connected the demands of the PAD - with reservations ". We will not take part in their demonstrations given by our political ideals are too different." Abhisit facing a pincer grip of red and yellow.
The skirmishes at the border have also given a boost to the coup rumors that enable for almost two weeks in Thailand's political scene unrest. "The countdown for a new revolution is already running," said Admiral Bannavit Kengrian before the shooting at the border. He knows whereof he speaks: He was at the forefront, as Thailand's generals in 2006 the then Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra chased out of office.
Now, it predicts the "yellow shirts" Related warhorse, it was time again. Not only in a few months or even in a year, but in a few weeks, the military will once again take power in Thailand. Ball rolling the stone of the MP Jatuporn Prompan has started rolling. The opposition leader claimed the end of January that he had secured information that army chief Prayuth Chan-ocha at a secret meeting with Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwon and Chief of Staff and other senior military Daopong Rattanasuwan the script for a coup had already been written.
The army chief who has been at the brutal and bloody expulsion of the red shirts from Bangkok's inner city in May last year played a key role denied, although immediately: "This is all absolute nonsense." He has no ambition to seize power or to seek a political office. Tulsathit Taptim, chief editor of the English language daily newspaper "The Nation" mocks but over the vociferous denials Prayuths: "An army chief who assured that he planned no revolution is in the political environment of Thailand as credible as a football star, who says he is his club to 100 percent committed.
