webfact Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 NCPO: Southern unrest dropping By Digital ContentBANGKOK, July 21 -- Thailand’s National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) has stated that violent incidents in the deep South were decreasing, while peace talks with the Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN) insurgency movement will proceed. Deputy army chief and NCPO secretary-general Gen Udomdet Sitabutr said that the number of violent incidents in the the three southern border provinces of Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat dropped by 20-30 per cent compared with those last year. Gen Udomdet, chairing a meeting on solutions to violence in the southern border provinces at Royal Thai Army headquarters today, admitted that he was worried about violent incidents in southern border provinces, saying that all concerned authorities tried to implement solutions as fast as possible but insurgents continued to launch attacks. However, he said, the number of incidents was decreasing and authorities were receiving good cooperation from local religious leaders and the people and they were developing mutual understanding. “Incidents continue to happen in the month of Ramadan partly because of the misbelief that attackers could make merit with their violent incidents including those against the authorities. "There are attempts to create understanding with locals and most of them now have proper understanding,” Gen Udomdet said. The NCPO secretary-general also said that the National Security Council planned to negotiation with the BRN and that would produce a good result. He declined to elaborate on the plan. He said that after a change of work procedures, solutions for the far South would be more effective. Regarding yesterday's bombings at four locations of Tanyongmas municipality in Narathiwat's Rangae district, police used surveillance footage to identify two of seven bombers. No casualties were reported from the bombings. (MCOT online news) -- TNA 2014-07-21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

15Peter20 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) I think he means no-one died in the last 12 hours. Look out for fewer bad stories from the south in the media - it might hinder bringing happiness back to Thailand. Gotta love our masters...no, really....you have got to love our masters.

rickirs Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 "...after a change of work procedures, solutions for the far South would be more effective." Oh please... Solutions come from a change in policy. By its very nature, "work procedures" are internal and not external to an organization's administrative operations. They will do little or nothing to provide insurgent leaders with an incentive to peaceful negotiations. An underlying barrier to any negotians with the insurgents now may be the credibility of the NCPO to negotiate in good faith. How does the NCPO encourage Muslim insurgent leaders who are engaged in the overthrow of Thai regional administrative power to negotiate with the Thai military that repeatedly suspends the nation's constitution and overthrows its own government? The Kingdom needs Muslims to trust its words and deeds if it wants to bring them into a peaceful concensus but, as it has been seen in Iraq, resistance to external change in administrative policy for unification will perpetuate disunity. South Africa, Philippines and West Germany were able to accomplish national unity. Perhaps NCPO needs to understand why they succeeded but the truth may be too bitter to swallow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
