Displaced Cambodians in limbo as nationalist victory in Thailand adds to pressure
“I don’t know what led to this fighting,” she said. “Like other Cambodians, I want peace, not war.” In an election last week, Thailand’s Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul romped to victory on a platform that includes building a wall at the border. During a visit to the area on the Cambodian side, most of the people Reuters spoke to said they knew nothing about last week’s Thai vote or what the implications might be for the area. Pich Vorn, displaced from the neighbouring village of Chouk Chey, said he just wanted his house and land back. On the Thai side, authorities say all residents have been able to return home since fighting ended. But on the Cambodian side, officials estimate that about 80% of land and homes in Prey Chan and Chouk Chey communes are now inaccessible, leaving more than 4,600 people living in temporary shelters. 🔗 Leggi su Internazionale.it
