ISOC continues effort to restore peace in Deep South

Thammarat Thadaphrom

NARATHIWAT, 20 March 2016 (NNT) – The Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC) is working with the people to restore peace and order in violence-torn areas of the Deep South.

ISOC spokesperson Colonel Pramote Promin disclosed on Friday that the government’s peace campaign in the southern most provinces of Narathiwat, Yala, Pattani, and Songkhla has been very successful, thanks to great cooperation from local residents. The campaign was launched late last year and by February, it had been introduced in 37 districts of the four provinces.

Colonel Pramote said the campaign would be continued until peace has been fully restored in 1,988 villages as targeted.

He said ISOC would adjust its security measures according to the needs of the residents.

Someone please wake me up and let me know if anyone ever finds peace with those <deleted> Muslims. What a bunch of dreamers.

Cheers.

ISOC working with local people but no success in peace talks with the insurgent groups, notably the BRN, will not produce any long-term solutions to the root cause of the insurgency. It appears the Prayut government has reverted back to the Thaksin era where the military/government strategy was solely a combination of rewards and security for the South to disenfranchise the insurgency.

This announcement may be part of a series of successes by the military this year that will cumulate before the end of 2016 in a declaration by the Junta that peace has finally been achieved in the South - as promised by Prayut first in 2014, then in 2015, now in 2016.

Perfect analogy for doing the same thing and expecting a different results. Insanity comes to mind.
