WHAT DO KHMER AND THAI PEOPLE HAVE IN COMMON?

IT IS EASTER SUNDAY AND HUMAN BEINGS ARE KILLING EACH OTHER ONLY A FEW HUNDRED KILOMETERS FROM BATTAMBANG

Cambodian (HUMAN BEINGS) and Thai (HUMAN BEINGS) troops exchanged heavy weapons fire for the third straight day, officials (HUMAN BEINGS) from both countries said, after clashes on their joint border left 10 dead.

Thousands of civilians (HUMAN BEINGS) have been forced to flee the disputed jungle frontier after fighting broke out on Friday, shattering a tense two-month ceasefire.

A Cambodian field commander, Suos Sothea, (A HUMAN BEING) said the fighting started at about 10:00 am local time (0300GMT) on Sunday and both sides  (HUMAN BEINGS) were firing mortars.

"What we can confirm is it involves artillery shell fire," he said.

A Thai official (A HUMAN BEING) at the border also confirmed the resumption of  hostilities and said "Cambodia opened fire first".

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon (A REPRESENATIVE OF ALL HUMAN BEINGS) has said the neighbours should "exercise maximum restraint" and urged the pair to launch "serious dialogue" in order to resolve the issue, according to a spokesman on Saturday.

Six Cambodian troops ( DEAD HUMAN BEINGS) and four Thai soldiers (DEAD HUMAN BEINGS) have been killed since clashes restarted on Friday.

Heavy shelling was clearly audible 20 kilometres (12 miles) away from the scene of the fighting on the Cambodian side, according to an AFP photographer,  ( A HUMAN BEING ARMED ONLY WITH A CAMERA) as those (DEFENCELESS HUMAN BEINGS) evacuated from their homes took refuge in schools and temples away from the clash.

HUMAN BEINGS FROM BOTH countries have accused each other of sparking the violence, which is the first serious outbreak of fighting since February, when 10 people (DEAD HUMAN BEINGS) were killed in clashes near the 900-year-old Hindu temple Preah Vihear.

The latest clashes, which saw several hours of fighting on both Friday and Saturday, have taken place near a different group of temples (PLACES SACRED TO HUMAN BEINGS) more than 100 kilometres away from Preah Vihear ( A SACRED AND SIGNIFICANT PLACE TO HUMAN BEINGS AND HUMAN CULTURE).

Thailand has denied claims by its neighbour that it used "heavy guns loaded with poisonous gas" and flew aircraft "deep into Cambodia's airspace".

The country recently admitted using controversial Dual Purpose Improved Conventional Munitions (A FANCY NAME FOR THINGS THAT KILL HUMAN BEINGS) during the February fighting but insisted it did not classify them as cluster munitions.

"When there is firing into Thailand (CAMBODIA'S NEIGHBOUR), we  need to fire back to protect over sovereignty," Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva (a HUMAN BEING) said on Sunday in his weekly television programme.

He said Thailand was willing to hold bilateral talks and accused Cambodia (THAILAND'S NEIGHBOUR) of trying to "internationalise" the conflict.
AS A HUMAN BEING I SAY: "GIVE PEACE A CHANCE"
