webfact Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 In a tragic turn just days after peace negotiations resumed, a roadside explosion in the Janae district of Thailand’s Narathiwat province yesterday killed a defence volunteer and left four others with serious injuries. The volunteers, aboard an armoured pickup truck bound for the Chang Phuek Tambon Administrative Organisation, fell victim to insurgents’ treachery along Road 4217 in Ban Kumoong village. Concealed within the roadside foliage, a deadly improvised explosive device (IED) lay in wait, triggered by the passing vehicle, reported Thai PBS World. The resulting blast violently overturned the truck, claiming the life of the driver instantaneously. In the chaos that followed, reinforcements rushed to the scene to transport the injured to the district hospital for urgent medical attention. In related news, the dialogue between the Barisan Revolusi Nasional Melayu-Patani (BRN) and the Thai government’s peace team took place last Tuesday, February 6 in Malaysia, as disclosed by a source from the National Security Council (NSC). by Puntid Tantivangphaisal Photo courtesy of Thai PBS World Full story: THe Thaiger 2024-02-13 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Seems to be a favorite for ISOC in the Southern insurrgent provinces for conducting patrols while the army stays in the safety of its military bases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proton Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Calling it an 'insurgency' is not honest, it's an Islamist jihad terror campaign similar to ones in several other countries. Of course the apologists will cite historical reasons other than intolerant supremacist Islam. Forget negotiations only force will resolve this, concessions will only be seen as weakness. These terrorists have killed over 6k innocent Thais, they are not freedom fighters or oppressed, they are cold blooded butchers. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NativeBob Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Thailand should not annex original Malaysian provinces. These will never end. Unless they go full-monty Bibi-style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are hundreds of terror groups operating across the world if you spent a little time researching them. Many terror groups are Muslim but many are not.

Even India with all its Islamophobia is usually ultimately related to the geopolitics of Pakistan and the Middle East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is 2024.All the terrorists you have mentioned are from 50ish years ago. Face up to the facts,today 95%+ are Muslims. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can kill 10 insurgents, but 100 new ones will take their place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are indistinguishable from the regular population, some of whom support and/or house the actual insurgents. There is simply no solution to the situation except peace talks.
