Around 80 people from four land communities in Koh Kong province gathered in Phnom Penh today to submit and follow up on prior petitions seeking social land concessions and resolutions to land disputes. The four affected communities include the 197 Land Community, 955 Land Community, 175 Land Community, also known as the “Chi Kha Kroam” Land Community, and the Thma Sa Sameakki Land Community in Srae Ambel and Botum Sakor districts. They today submitted petitions to the Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Environment, National Assembly, and Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction.

The communities have repeatedly petitioned in Koh Kong and Phnom Penh for social land concessions and resolutions to several land disputes. Most recently, around 80 community members submitted a petition to the Koh Kong Provincial Hall and members of the National Assembly representing the Koh Kong constituency. As a result, the Koh Kong Provincial Governor promised on 22 October 2026 to resolve the disputes and communities’ requests, yet to date they have not received a resolution.
