Peace experts? Can they perhaps explain the Roadmap and Reconciliation we hear about in the news so often?

Peace experts’ vision of Thailand’s future

 

   Let pictures talk.......

Removing basic rights through the threat of force isn't peace. It's continuous violence. Wonder if this "peace expert" understands how repressing society is like pulling a rubber band, and then when it snaps back, people somehow act surprised. Certainly, this is driving the conflict, not a long-term solution for peace.

General - Peace Expert

Isn't that an oximoron like a PETA representative running a slaughterhouse?
