With regards to the problems in southern Thailand, General Boonrawd said that although “Violence… at the moment seems not to be getting better,” he believes that “the instigators are on their last leg.” And the reason for such a rosy outlook? “The current regime has set up policies that are now coming into effect,” he said. Maybe once the killings stop we’ll be able to commend the general’s vision.
