Thai Forces Blockade Cambodian Village with Shipping Containers, Residents Stranded
Chouk Chey, Cambodia – Tensions are rising along the Thai-Cambodian border as reports emerge of Thai forces blockading the Cambodian village of Chouk Chey. According to an exclusive report by Al Jazeera, rows of shipping containers have been used to cut off access to the village, preventing residents from returning to their homes.
“We are being prevented from returning to our homes by Thai forces who remain on the Cambodian side of the border,” a villager told Al Jazeera.
The move, which has not been officially commented on by either the Thai or Cambodian governments, has sparked outrage among local villagers and raises serious questions about the sovereignty of Cambodia. The reason for the blockade remains unclear.
The Al Jazeera report suggests a potential violation of Cambodian territory and is likely to further strain relations between the two nations. The situation remains fluid, and further updates are expected as diplomatic efforts are made to address the growing crisis.
