Thailand PM agrees to peace plan in Muslim south
2006-06-07
Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has agreed to a peace plan put forward by a high-level panel to end an insurgency in Muslim-majority provinces, a spokesman said yesterday. The centrepiece of the plan announced on Monday by the independent National Reconciliation Commission is to create a new regional body to mediate the conflict that has claimed 1,300 lives in the last two years.

Government spokesman Surapong Suebwonglee said the premier had tasked his top deputy, Chidchai Vanasathidya, with implementing the plan. "He assigned Chidchai to properly implement the proposals made by the commission, immediately if possible," he told reporters. "But the prime minister asked Chidchai to report to him on which proposals would require passing new laws, because for those the government has to wait for a new parliament," he said.

General elections in April failed to produce a parliament and new court-supervised polls are set for October.

#5  One thing that's become abundantly clear is that the radical muzzies need to be killed. Not negotiated with, not reasoned with, not bargained with, but anihilated. Governments who misunderstand the truly evil nature of these scumbags do so at their own peril.

#4  Like most islamonuts, they probably can't even tell you their demands. Given a few minutes to think about it they would probably come off with some shit about a caliphate, palistinians, you know the standard bullshit.

#3  Damn tu - I was thinking that exact same thing. This kind of apeasement is happening a lot lately - in Thailand, the Philippines, with Iran, and all over Europeabia.

And it never works. From the infancy of Islam (Mecca and Median) to now Islam has *never* settled for the fingertip - they alwys insist on the entire hand, then the arm, then side, then they take everything.
