Fourth Army chief Sakol Chuentrakoon said that despite the violence the military would act in accordance with peace talks between security authorities and representatives of the Barisan Revolusi Nasional The Fourth Army commander urged separatist sympathisers to turn themselves in before Ramadan. He said security forces have placed an emphasis on fighting violence in the South through peaceful means. He urged everyone in the region to take a united stance in rejecting all forms of violence. |

| #2 "have placed an emphasis on fighting violence in the South through peaceful means." Of course, since the Thai Army upper echelon is in majority Muslims supporting the Monarchist dictatorship...the 'slimes are in the south in conquered territory and can count in the Army not lifting a finger against them. |

| #1 Hesaid that during Ramadan the military provide security for the locals so they could carry out their religious activities in peace. Let em be slaughtered by their fellow Muslims. Allan will be pleased by the sacrifice |
