Stalemate in Southern Thailand

November 2010

International Crisis Group

Abstract

Stalemate in Southern Thailand, the latest briefing from the International Crisis Group, examines the conflict during Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva's second year in office. As bloody anti-government protests in Bangkok distracted the nation in early 2010, the violence in the Deep South has continued. It has stayed on the margins of public attention and remains unresolved. More than 4,400 people have been killed in the six-year-long insurgency.
