Following the car bombing that occurred on June 30 outside police condos in this southern border state, an intellectual in Yala has criticised what he claims is the slow pace of peace talks in the deep north.
Around 10:30 am, the blast occurred outside the Bannang Sata police station’s cottages, close to the city office and a nearby market.
Sixteen citizens, including six officers soldiers, were injured. An Islamic spiritual professor, Rokiyoh Sarana, 45, was killed while passing by.
Rebel organizations are also active in the deep south when it comes to apologise to state officials.
Despite continued peace deals, this undermines the stability of regional security, said Tayudin Usman, professor of Humanities and Social Sciences at Yala Rajabhat University.
” The event should have never happened, particularly in a busy city region. The death of an Islamic teacher has made the situation actually more resilient, and efforts may be made to stop any more loss, he said.
Mr. Tayudin claimed that the peace speech screen established to assist in the strife-torn region has not made any progress in terms of maintaining peace.
Sunday’s tragedy has hindered the commission’s function, he said, adding that such activities are often seen when there are conflicts at the speaks.
He urged the rebel party to consider the effects of their deeds on honest people.
He stated that once the Thai aspect makes a number of agreements, the talks will remain.
The government will pay 500, 000 baht in compensation and a sack of rice to the family of the deceased woman, according to Romdon Hayiawae, assistant secretary-general of the Southern Border Provinces Administrative Centre ( SBPAC ), and continue to support her three children’s education until they graduate with bachelor’s degrees.
Justice Minister Tawee Sodsong claimed Provincial Police Region 9 had invoked the emergency order and the martial law to capture the suspects for questioning.
The Prevention and Suppression of Torture and Enforced Disappearance Act will allow for up to 30 days of judicial investigation.
Mustafa Malae, 27, an associate legal expert, is the main suspect.
