The Thailand-Cambodia border has erupted into deadly violence, with over 130,000 civilians displaced and at least 16 killed as military clashes intensify near the ancient temple cluster of Preah Vihear and Ta Muen Thom. The historic dispute—rooted in colonial-era maps and a 1962 ICJ ruling—has turned the Emerald Triangle into a modern warzone. With F-16s deployed and artillery pounding civilian areas, both nations refuse to de-escalate, risking a broader Southeast Asian war amid rising nationalist fervor and global concern.

Between 2010 and 2020, the world’s population grew—and so did most major religious groups. Christianity remains the largest religion at 2.3 billion, but its global share fell to 28.8% as more people left the faith, especially in Western nations. Islam experienced the fastest growth, adding 347 million to reach 2 billion globally, fueled by high fertility rates and youthful populations. Meanwhile, the religiously unaffiliated rose to 24.2%, driven by secular trends in countries like China, the U.S., and Japan. Demographic shifts suggest Islam could match Christianity by mid-century.

Thailand has fiercely rejected Cambodia’s accusation that its military bombed the Preah Vihear Temple—a UNESCO World Heritage site—amid intensifying border clashes. Bangkok calls Phnom Penh’s claims a “distortion of facts” and “politically motivated,” denying any damage to cultural or civilian zones. Cambodia alleges air and artillery strikes caused major destruction, violating international law. The 11th-century temple, long contested, is now a flashpoint fueling nationalist tensions as both sides trade blame and the risk of escalation continues to mount.
