On August 14, 2025, residents of Prey Chan village in O’Chrov district, Banteay Meanchey province, Cambodia, reported incursions by Thai forces. The incident allegedly involved the illegal occupation of local homes for two consecutive days. Villagers expressed deep concern over the loss of their property and personal safety. Many residents reported being unable to access their homes or belongings during the occupation. The incursion has worsened already strained relations along the Cambodia–Thailand border. Locals believe the incident violates their rights and threatens community stability. Community members have publicly appealed for urgent international intervention. Their requests include diplomatic pressure to restore justice and return occupied homes. The situation has increased fears of further cross-border confrontations. Observers warn that without resolution, tensions could escalate into broader conflict.
Abba Father, shield the people of Prey Chan village from harm, and keep their homes and families safe from all threats. Lord, bring justice to those whose homes have been taken, and restore peace along the border.(The Holy Bible, Psalm 46:1).
Lord, soften hearts and guide leaders of Cambodia and Thailand toward dialogue and reconciliation (The Holy Bible, Matthew 5:9).
