on Troubles in the South
and Nationalism and Right-wing Politics
Translation of a leaflet left by 'bandits'
in the deep South - May 1, 2005
[Our sources in
the South provided this leaflet being circulated
in the South by a separatist group ( village
of Thambol Kayuboko, Amphur Raman, Yala province).]
A crisis in three southern provinces
It is noted that the government has not improved
the situation of the crisis in three southern provinces
and it is more serious. This is because of the wrong
strategy and implementation which is policy of conquer
(kill, kidnap, arrest, detain). This builds the
feeling of being oppressed and apprehensive of the
government. So they adapt the big strategy. [The
stiff strategy is changed to a compromise strategy]
by setting up the Nation Reconciliation Council
which has a privy councilor as president and coordinator
to build conciliation and ability to live together.
This is a beautiful policy in the eyes of people
who close their eyes. [Thai sentence reads “tob
hua laew loob lang“ policy = to hit on the
head and then pat on the back--this means to make
flattering overtures after having treating cruelly.] |

Conversely, the conquer policy (kill,
kidnap, arrest, detain) is still in operation, but the
method and technique has changed from being in the open
to being underground and commanded by Gen. Thammrak Issrangkool
na Ayuthaya by operating in many ways such as zoning in
red, yellow, and green zones making confusion, tumult
and blaming mistakes on “the separatism.” This
makes people who support the “Pattani State Restoration
Movement” get angry and hate more. It is a dirty
strategy for snatching the mass of people to return to
supporting the reconciliation policy which is operated
on the ground by Anand Panyarachun. This called is “deceived
people policy.”
We implore and demand all Muslims who have Muslim consciousness
to realize they should not be deceived or misguided (kuful).
[Kuful is a big sin for Muslim people who behave in a
way warned against by religious prophets.]
Stop! Don't cooperate and support any policy of the government.
Stop! If you think to apply as a volunteer, village police,
school guard, etc. Think before you will be a victim of
money--4500 baht--being exchanges with a pure Muslim,
creating risk in lives and assets, hurting those who depend
on your decision.
With slam and du-ar
[Slam and Du-AR is used at the end of a letter. Slam means
peace and du-AR means a blessing so this means asking
the blessing from the God to give peace, prosper and happiness.]
