Former bedfellows fall out over Cambodia
28/01/2011
Bangkok Post
Unity in the People’s Alliance for Democracy has taken a further blow after a messy parting of the ways with its former champion, Foreign Affairs Minister Kasit Piromya.
Mr Kasit was attacked by the PAD yesterday after he refused to accept the group’s demands that the government revoke a 2000 border agreement with Cambodia and withdraw from the World Heritage Committee.
The alliance also demands that the government use force to expel Cambodian soldiers and villagers from the 4.6-square-kilometre disputed area on the border.
The PAD severed ties with the foreign minister after he insisted on a policy of negotiation rather than confrontation with Cambodia.
