Pattani: State-run schools in this southern province will reopen next week after teachers said they were satisfied with assurance from authorities about their safety.

The decision was reached in talks between the Confederation of Teachers in the Southern Border Provinces and key government officials at the cremation ceremony of Nanthana Kaewchan, a director of Ban Tha Kam Sam School in Nong Chik district.

They included southern army commander Lt Gen Udomchai Thammasarorat, Deputy Education Minister Sermsak Pongpanich, secretary-general of the Southern Border Provinces Administrative Centre, and Pattani Governor Pramuk Lamun.

"ACM Sukumpol said violent incidents in the South happened in only 15% of the entire area and there were only about 3,000 villages with problems."
Then it should be easy for Yingluck, being in charge of security, to pinpoint where the problems take place and distribute assets accordingly. It should be."

The first sentence was direct from the article. Where in the second sentence do you see me endorse the advice. And I said "should" because I don;t have confidence in either Sukumpol or Yingluck. Why do you misinterpret everyone';s comments so easily?

It saddens me to say this but nothing will improve in the south for a long time to come. If the government provided you with a personal body-guard and you kept getting punched in the face when the body-guard looked away would you still have trust and faith? Since the Yingluck and here cadre don’t think a moral support visit to the local Thais is warranted the local’s only purpose is to stay and suffer so as not to cede the south of Thailand.

Then why do you seem to suggest in D5 that YS should act on their advice? (Sorry if I have mis-interpreted your comments they are sometimes a bit hard to follow).

If you believe the military assessment of the situation can you explain why they aren't having more success in winning?

dom - "The PM should take anything her generals tell her with a cart load of salt."

You mean like we do with everything you say?

If the army actually had any idea of the true situation it would have solved the problem by now. The PM should take anything her generals tell her with a cart load of salt.

Just a few days ago, the military was talking about boarding teachers at the schools where they work. Hopefully, that idea is now off the table.

Makes you wonder why weren't the problems in the killing fields of south Thailand mentioned once by a single member of parliament during the last three days.
