Panel approves compensation for victims in southern Thailand
2012-02-13
A government-appointed committee set up to compensate and rehabilitate people affected by violence in the strife-torn deep South has resolved to pay up to 7.5 million baht in compensation each to families of those killed during eight years of violence. The committee on rehabilitation of people affected by southern violence yesterday approved a compensation package for affected people, including families of dead victims, the injured and the suspects.
It sounds to me like most of the people getting compensation will be victims of the people fighting the insurgency in southern Thailand.

"Families of authorities killed in the violence are not entitled to compensation this time, but consideration will be made later, under the same framework," according to the article. What does any of this spending do to finish off the insurgency?
