PATTANI, Thailand: Ayoh has a dream for his country – Thailand – where equality transcends race and beliefs and justice would serve all the people.
The Krue Se Mosque in Pattani witnessed a deadly clash between armed insurgents and Thai authorities on Apr 28, 2004. The mosque still bears bullet holes from the violent confrontation 15 years ago. In efforts to solve the southern insurgency, Thai governments have engaged in peace talks with representatives of the separatist groups. However, the dialogue has been put on hold until a new government is elected.Since violence flared in 2004, more than 60,000 security personnel have been deployed along the southern border amid deepened fears and prejudices against the opposite faction.
With the election just around the corner, MP hopefuls in Thailand’s deep south are racing against time to win voters’ support. Their policies range from decentralisation of power to a monthly allowance for religious teachers in private schools. Their promises are being closely scrutinised.
