Gen Aksara assures no conflict over peace dialogue process with MARA Patani

 

 

The head of the Thai peace dialogue team Gen Aksara Kerdphol on Friday (March 23) allayed concern with the latest statement from MARA Patani, assuring that there is no conflict over the ongoing peace process between the two sides.

 

However, he said that MARA Patani, an umbrella organization of southern separatist groups in the Deep South, was concerned with certain statements and actions of the Forward Command of the Internal Security Operations Command Region 4 regarding the “Bring People Home” project and the declaration of 14 districts as safety zones by the commander of the Fourth Army Region, Lt-Gen Piyawat Nakwanich.

 

Gen Aksara was responding to the statement issued by Uztas Shukri Hari, head of MARA Patani Peace Dialogue Panel, earlier this morning.

"The ongoing discussion between MARA Patani and the Thai government is still at the technical level."

TRANSLATION:

• We've gotten nowhere after almost 4 years of negotiations.

"MARA Patani is open to all views and recommendations from the people toward right to self-determination."

TRANSLATION:

• We still want autonomy.

" MARA Patani .... would like to emphasize that the “Bring People Home” project and the alleged 14 safety zones districts as declared by the 4th Army Commander are not at all related to MARA Patani-Thai government peace dialogue process."

TRANSLATION:

• The military is deceiving the Thai people that these programs are meaningful in the peace process.

When you have no peace dialog process, there can't be any conflict. Job well done General.
