That was the apex of a series of attacks carried out by Muslim separatists on schools in the region. Over 1,300 schools were shut down as a precautionary measure. …

And all these things would need to be adjusted if greater autonomy were given to the south.”

The authors of the ICG study concluded that the Thai government should urgently make the situation in the south a priority and also consider decentralization – a topic which continues to be taboo.
