The revolt in southern Thailand, Narathiwat media has received much attention after a series of violent incidents and focus on the three southern provinces of Yala, Pattani.

The history of this separatist movement back to the early twentieth century thatCentury, in 1902 Pattani was annexed by Thailand in the years (then known as Siam). Seven years later, the United Kingdom, Thailand was given sovereignty over the territory of a treaty with Great. Patan was divided into three provinces, with two districts of Songkhla in 1933.

Patan was originally a Malay sultanate and as a result of over three quarters of the population in the three southern provinces are Muslims today. While some language and culturalSimilarities with the Malays of Malaysia, Thailand's southern Malay community has a distinct individuality and sense of independence.

In 1930, efforts to create an independent state in the south. The movement has taken many forms and ideology is to be established between the desire to establish this independent state, and moved the desire for cultural autonomy. Separatist groups have continued actively to this day.

The RenaissanceViolence in the change of thousand • Goals, has launched a shadow of a dead zone in southern Thailand. The problems are not encouraged violence in word and work of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra and his government, which in 2004 was to ensure that criminal gangs against the rebels, were responsible.

When martial law in the southern provinces of Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat in January 2004, said the situation has worsenedThai soldiers and police were responsible for the deaths of over a hundred Muslims in a series of attacks.

Attempts to open a dialogue with the insurgents have been full of problems with the anonymity of the leaders of movements. "

On August 31, while 22 banks in Yala, while September 16 has six motorcycle bombing killed four people in attacks as Yai invaded the neighboring province. The bloodshed is still liquid in the streets of the SouthProvinces such as the military coup of September 19 came up.

The military coup and current political instability has done very little in Thailand, South eliminate friction and constant attacks. Thursday, the second Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont appointed the military in November 1200 gave a speech to Muslims in Pattani he apologized for the problems that the government created the previous year, mainly from SE Mosque and Tak Bai incidents Krutook place in April and October 2004.

The event was a massacrewhen the army used tear gas to control crowds. The shooting began shortly after, and many people were also arrested five people full of trucks and driven five hours. 85 men were killed in total, 78 of them suffocated in trucks.

That newly installed Prime Minister promises to leave the southern provinces of violence has so far been unsuccessful, how to get out almost daily attacks. Surayud said his government only by peaceful means to endcentury tensions, although not mentioned the possibility of an independent state. Surayud has made ​​clear that his intentions are unified Thailand.

The Southern Border Provinces Administration Centre has recently been revived once again after five years of absence, and is now led by Phranai Suwannarat has to negotiate with instilling peace in the region.

The current government is very strong negative impact of previous governmentActions, but so far it is unclear how the body revitalized to face the situation.

Surayud has already rejected that Thaksin: He apologized. However, this is just one step on a long journey since most likely take years. If Thailand is to join, so they must be taken to eliminate the feeling of alienation felt by Muslim countries of the population.
