BANTEAY MEANCHEY, October 25, 2026 — Kenyan content creator and influencer Mbuziseller Nelson Saisi, a member of the Cyberlocos group, visited Cambodia’s northwestern Banteay Meanchey province from October 22 to 24 to promote the country’s tourism destinations and cultural attractions to an international audience.

During his visit, Saisi was warmly welcomed by Um Reatrey, governor of Banteay Meanchey province, according to a provincial report.

According to the report, the families have lost homes and farmland, while schools have also been affected, preventing students from attending classes as usual.

The report accused Thai military personnel of occupying Cambodian territory and described the use of barbed wire and shipping containers that allegedly prevent Cambodian residents from returning to their homes.

During his visit, Saisi praised Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet for arranging accommodation for displaced families, saying the facilities provided them with more suitable and comfortable living conditions.

His visit offered an opportunity to learn about the challenges facing affected communities and the arrangements made to accommodate displaced residents.
