Local leaders in the South will be given a bigger role in helping combat the insurgency in the three southernmost border provinces, because they are the local state authority and understand the problems well, Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yubamrung said on Thursday.

He admitted to being heavy-hearted at being given the assignment.

"Local leaders in the South will be given a bigger role in helping combat the insurgency in the three southernmost border provinces, because they are the local state authority and understand the problems well,Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yubamrung said on Thursday".

So that his own role will be minuscule and so he won't have to actually go to the three southern most provinces himself.

Last time he failed so what is YS trying to do, get rid of him ?is that the plan. Meanwhile people die.
