The Southern Border Provinces Administrative Center (SBPAC) informed the diplomats on progress made in the region, particularly regarding security, quality of life enhancements, and the promotion of multiculturalism. The southernmost provinces of Yala, Pattani, and Narathiwat, have significant populations of people following the Islamic faith. SBPAC Secretary-General Rear Admiral Somkiat Ponprayoon explained the center’s work in creating socio-psychological assurances to foster a robust multicultural society and encourage peaceful resolutions to ongoing issues. The ultimate goal of the center is to ensure good livelihoods for residents and protect their freedom to live according to their identities, beliefs, cultures and traditions. According to the National Security Council, the number of violent incidents in the southern border provinces has declined since 2016. There were 86 reported cases from October of last year to June 2023, with 33 deaths and 110 injuries. These figures represent a 48% reduction in cases and 69.44% in fatalities compared to the same period in 2017. The steady improvement in the situation has been attributed to collaborative efforts between the public and private sectors. Thai authorities remain optimistic about the ongoing progress.

Srikcir Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Ten Muslim countries are Malaysia Kuwait Oman Egypt Indonesia Turkey Morocco Saudi Arabia Pakistan Qatar Are any of these nations dominated by a Buddhist government, military and non-arabic language? Have any of these nations been under a continuous State of Emergency for more than a decade that can waive constitutional rights? All I can speculate to a seemingly political hypocrisy is that the preservation of wealth as Sovereign Muslim States for trade with Thailand appears to override decades of ideological Thai subjugation that is embedded in the Malay Muslim South region.
