SOUTHERN RESENTMENT ERUPTS IN VIOLENCE
The Thailand page on the Human Rights Watch website contains detailed background and regular updates. Click here for a report on the growing number of attacks on schools and teachers. There is also a report on "enforced disappearances" in the south. The International Crisis Group page on Thailand is another good source. This ICG report, "Southern Thailand: Insurgency, not Jihad", gives an insight into the nature of the insurgency and where it could lead. In late 2008, UNICEF published Everyday Fears, a poignant report on the impact the growing violence is having on children living in the border areas. Southern Thailand: The Impact of the Coup looks at developments since the removal of former leader Thaksin Shinawatra. BBC News Online has some good background analysis: Thailand's Restive South and Takbai Legacy Lingers in South. The United Nations Development Programme page on Thailand offers information and reports about economic and social development. The U.N. refugee agency UNHCR has a small amount of information on refugees from southern Thailand.
