Abhisit wants Cambodians out

BANGKOK – THAI Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva on Tuesday demanded Cambodian citizens leave a disputed border area that has been the focus of deadly clashes in recent years.

The two countries have stepped up a war of words over the spat, with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen warning that the dispute with Thailand was ‘very hot’ and could lead to fresh bloodshed.

Speaking to reporters, Prime Minister Abhisit said that Cambodians had trespassed and must be evicted, promising that Thailand would ‘do everything possible through peaceful means’ to get the Cambodians to leave.
