No mention of the root cause.
England reneged on its deal of giving Pattani its independence @ the end of WW2 if Pattani fought on the side of the allies.
Instead they (UK) gave it to Thailand.
The way I read history if UK had honored its promise none of what's happened down south would have.
I stand to be corrected ...
what I have written is a verbal history from my grandfather who was chased out of Pattani Province by bandits/rebels/communist insurgents when he tried to settle there apre WW2
