Just another episode in the ongoing Thai drama - if it wasn't so serious it would make a top viewing soapie.
As I understand it, the problem in the South has been going on for a long time (since the Siamese annexed the Sultanate of Pattani in the mid 19th century) but it was enflamed by Jompon Por's (Pibulsongkram's) dicatorial efforts to Siamise the Malay inhabitants in the 40s and 50s. Periodic upsurges of resistance activity followed by quieter periods then continued until Thaksin Shinawatra decided to replace the cosy military-resistance-criminal compromise down there by transferring authority to the police.
I might have this all mixed up, but that's my memory of the history.
I'm sure though that the people of Pattani (incl Yala and Narathiwat) will never accept what they see as Thai-Buddhist attempts to marginalize their language, religion and culture.

Could you please clarify ? What was the "the cosy military-resistance-criminal compromise" ? And how did the changes initiated by Thaksin altered this "cosy compromise" ?

It's clear a ceasefire in the south would be very bad news for organization opposing the government
It's a bit sad to realize that some individual will actually rejoice every time people will be killed or maimed in the south.

I honestly hope this is a real peace offering, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's not.
Yeah, those who know about the doctrine they subscribe to, we can only be scepticle and suspicious.
For starters...
Quote Qur'an 9:3 "Allah is not bound by any contract or treaty with non-Muslims, nor is His Apostle."
Qur'an 9:7 "How can there be a covenant between Allah and His Messenger and the disbelievers"
Qur'an 97:5 "There is peace until the dawning of the day!"
And then there is this... the deception...
Quote Bukhari:V7B67N427 "The Prophet said, 'If I take an oath and later find something else better than that, then I do what is better and expiate my oath.'"
Qur'an 9:3 "Allah and His Messenger dissolve obligations."
Qur'an 66:1 "Allah has already sanctioned for you the dissolution of your vows."
Bukhari:V4B52N268 "Allah's Apostle said, 'War is deceit.'"
Qur'an 4:142 "Surely the hypocrites strive to deceive Allah. He shall retaliate by deceiving them."
I cant find the hadith at the moment, but there is also a concept of making peace or a treaty, only until they have amassed enough strength to fight again.... then break it, as in the above verses.
But then again, they may have lost favor with their rebel allies in Malaysia... or simply got a better deal with the Thai authorities.
We are all so quick to judge other religions for this mess. Understandably religion has been the basis of many battles and quarrels over the centuries. Look in the Bible and you can take out many quotes like this and either misuse or misinterpret them. Christians have also done a lot of killing in the past. Maybe we should not say Muslims or Islamism are all at fault but more put the blame on religion and extremist of their beliefs.

However, I suppose if the crims took someone out they could blame it on the resistance; if the resistance did, they could blame it on the crims, and the military didn't mind if these guys were sorting things out in their own way as long as the military weren't being taken out. I don't know what happened if they started taking out innocent people. I don't think they did that so much until it all started going wrong in about 2003, and Sondhi L. argued it was because of Thaksin's new management policy down there, but I don't know why or how the police would upset the apple cart.

Justice Minister says he did not knew about ceasefire announcement before
Justice Minister Sompong Amornwiwat said he has not been informed of a ceasefire announcement by the Thai United Southern Underground Group before, but there might be some ministers who knew about the announcement before it was made public.
The minister suggested that the media should ask Army Chief Gen.Anupong Paochinda about the matter. As for former Defence Minister Chettha Thanajaro, who arranged the announcement, Sompong says Chettha might be assigned by the government in a confidential manner to work on the announcement.
The minister also voiced agreement with the announcement which he considers as a good sign.
He says whether the announcement is a false can be proved within a few days. *how about an actual hour and a half?* If there is no shooting, the announcement is true. *and if there is a shooting, the announcement is.....*
Asked whether Chettha’s role in the matter had any political significance such as the Cabinet reshuffle, the minister said Chettha’s Ruam Jai Thai Chart Pattana Party already has a ministerial quota, but it depends on the premier whether to adjust it.
Sompong said the ministry’s operation in the Southern border provinces will continue despite the ceasefire as the ministry’s main responsibility concerns the protection of rights and justice, not crime suppression.

Thailand's southern army not told of ceasefire by insurgents
BANGKOK, July 17 (TNA) - The Fourth Army Region, responsible for security affairs in southern Thailand, on Thursday expressed surprise as it had not been informed before on a ceasefire in the restive South by separatist groups and announced by Gen. Chetta Thanajaro, Leader of the Ruam Jai Thai Chart Pattana political party, an army spokesman said.
The spokesman said retired Gen. Chetta, a former Defense Minister, had not informed the Fourth Army Region commander Lt-Gen. Viroj Buacharoon about the ceasefire announced by the so-called Thailand United Southern Underground (TUSU) group earlier Thursday.
Three representatives of the group announced on a pre-recorded televised broadcast, saying that they had negotiated a ceasefire beginning July 14. One of the three men, none of whom were identified, also urged other groups to end their violent activities.
However, the video was not broadcast until Thursday at noon.
Chetta said earlier that whether the situation in the region improves after the pledge by the insurgent groups will be seen in what actually happens, but that no conditions were given for stopping the violence.
"There's no political hidden agenda behind the plan," Chetta said.

Thank you for this honest report, we all understand that what's going on there is not always what's reported in the offical media.
I don't know if there is many TV members leaving in the south but I guess we would all really appreciate it if they could give us more first hand reports of what's really going on in the southern provinces.

You should stop getting wound up by the constant media bullshit your bombarded with every day.
More people starve to death each year than are murdered by Muslim Extremists, more people die from Malaria, or gun crime for that matter.
Yes, more people have starved to death, but the family of man has responded by producing more food. And yes, malaria has killed more people, but the family of man has responded by going to war against the mosquito. And yes crime has killed a lot of people and the family of man has tried to eliminate it on as many fronts as possible. So, might I infer that you are suggesting a campaign against Muslims Extremists? It would be a messy affair. The numbers I read are, only 10% of Muslims are Extremists. 10% of 1 billion is 100 million. That's a lot of people to have to deal with. Let's say only 10% of the 100 million are really the Extremists we have to deal with. That's still 10 million people whose only purpose in life is to kill Infidels until there are no more Infidels. Pretty grim prospect. The family of man may have to surgically remove a very big part of its family to save the greater family. Solutions anyone? Otis

True...one can never discount the possibility of some 'very famous and very rich businessman' who bankrolled the current ruling party is behind this sudden and surprising 'buy' that looks so cool and so impressive ! It's best to wait and watch to see how this unfolds and what really lies at the heart at of all this.

Guarded welcome, scepticism regarding southern 'ceasefire'
BANGKOK, July 17 (TNA) - Response to the oddly-announced 'ceasefire' in the insurgency-wracked southernmost Thai provinces was welcomed Thursday, but with much caution and skepticism, as the broadcast raised as many questions as it answered.
Neither the government nor the military command officially responded to the announcement, and no one appeared to know the identities of the men on camera.
Meanwhile business, community and political figures reacted with guarded welcome and skepticism.
The head of the Thai Chamber of Commerce urged the public to watch closely to see just how far the ethnic Malay insurgents who announced a return to peace on national television earlier in the day will be sincere and honor their pledge to institute a ceasefire throughout the border region.
Thai Chamber of Commerce Chairman Pramon Suthiwong said he was uncertain whether there was a hidden motive or benefit behind the announcement by three men claiming to represent 11 underground insurgent groups that the militants would end their armed struggle in the three southernmost provinces – Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat.
Mr. Pramon urged the public to not to give too much credence to the announcement, but to wait and see its result.
However, if the ceasefire is genuine, trade, investment and tourism in the South -- and not only the insurgency-troubled provinces -- will improve while the residents of the region would have a peaceful life, Mr. Pramon said.
Director Thanawat Polvichai of the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce (UTCC) Economic and Business Forecasting Center said security officials would be able to confirm whether the insurgents' announcement of the ceasefire is genuine or not.
If peace returns, it will benefit the Thai economy in general, and foreign tourists would visit the region in larger numbers again.
Three men calling themselves the Thailand United Southern Underground group representing 11 insurgent organisations operating in the region announced via a satellite television broadcast that they had negotiated a ceasefire beginning July 14.
The ceasefire was negotiated between the unknown insurgent group with retired Army Gen. Chetta Thanajaro, leader of the Ruam Jai Thai Chart Pattana political party.
Gen. Chetta, a former defense minister, said later Thursday he personally believed the three men represented insurgent groups and that they wanted to cease operations.
"The outcome should be known within the next 30 days," *or an hour and a half* Gen. Chetta said, adding that he would solely take the responsibility if anything happens.
Gen. Chetta said he would formally inform Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej of the ceasefire through Army chief Gen. Anupong Paochinda, stressing that he had not informed the prime minister earlier because negotiations were conducted under the utmost confidentiality without conditions.
The former Army chief reasoned that negotiations with the insurgent leaders could not be made through government channels because they were made through several middlemen.
He thanked Malaysia and several neutral countries who had given their support during the negotiations process.
Deputy Prime Minister/Finance Minister Surapong Suebwonglee expressed joy at the announcement, saying that tourism and border trade, especially in Hat Yai district near Thai-Malaysian border, should recover and the economy should improve in the next few months.
Meanwhile, Narathiwat Democrat MP Jeh-aming Tohtayong was sceptical because he and other villagers who sat together watching the announcement on television did not know the trio who appeared on the broadcast and were not sure that the men were really leading members of the group having had authority to make such a promise.
Mr. Jeh-aming said he had many questions including details about Gen. Chettha's role in brokening the accord, in what capacity, and whether the government knew about it.
However, he said, if this was not a practical joke, it would be good for the country and could help resolve the violence in the deep south.
The Democrat MP said he would monitor the situation in the southern provinces for several days to see whether the situation would become better.

[Former Science and Technology Minister in the Thaksin administration, former Defense Minister in the Thaksin administration and current Leader of Ruam Jai Thai Chart Pattana Party and] Former Army Chief Gen Chettha Thanajaro speaks to reporters after a group of self-proclaimed rebel leaders announced ceasefire in the southern provinces of Thailand.

Thai rebels agree "ceasefire" but analysts sceptical
Reuters - 28 minutes ago
BANGKOK - A group claiming to be the leaders of a four-year-old separatist insurgency in Thailand's Muslim south said on Thursday they had agreed to a ceasefire, but analysts were very skeptical.
"All our fighting groups, both military and political groups, will support peace in the south from now on," a spokesman for the unnamed umbrella group said in a statement broadcast on army TV.
If true, it would be the first time the shadowy rebels have claimed responsibility for the near daily bomb and gun attacks that have killed more than 3,400 people and hit rubber production in the predominately Muslim provinces bordering Malaysia.
Chettha Thanajaro, a former army commander-in-chief and defence minister, said the agreement came after he had negotiated privately with 11 rebel groups since last year.
"They need to keep their word. If there is no violence in the next week, *or the next hour and a half* then the government will get involved and start talking to them more," he said.
The government shed little light on Chettha's statement, while army chief General Anupong Paochinda said he "does not know of these people".
Chettha did not name the group or the two rebels who appeared on television, clad in khaki vests and round caps worn by Muslim men, against the backdrop of a blue, white and yellow flag.
Analysts were skeptical of the announcement.
"Everyone is extremely suspicious and it seems as if it may be a hoax of some sort. No one seems to recognize the flag either," an analyst at a Bangkok-based security firm said.
Panitan Wattanayagorn, a political analyst and security expert at Bangkok's Chulalongkorn University, was also cautious. "In the past, it (the government) has met people claiming to represent insurgents in the region, but the violence never stops," he said.
Three hours after the broadcast, rebels wounded one soldier in an ambush on an army patrol in Yala, one of three southernmost provinces home to most of Thailand's 6 million Muslims.
Separatist rebels waged a low-level guerrilla war in the densely forested region throughout the 1970s and 1980s, but their campaign petered out in the 1990s under a more conciliatory, democratic government in Bangkok.
However, violence flared anew in 2004 shortly after then Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, a former policeman, dismantled an army-run organisation that included civilians and Muslim religious leaders, and put police in charge of security.
Thaksin flooded the region with 30,000 troops and police, but it further alienated the population, especially after 78 Muslim men arrested after a protest died of suffocation in army custody.

apparently, the Army boss has now tracked down and sorted out who he is... someone who hasn't been involved in things for 21 YEARS... 
Mali Peng Khan
Army Chief Anupong identifies rebel leader
Army chief General Anupong Paochinda identified on Thursday the self-proclaimed speaker of separatist groups who announced an end to the violence in the south.
Anupong identified him as Mali Peng Khan, a former militant who was active in 1984-1987. He said Mali Peng became inactive after 1987.
Anupong said Mali Peng had tried to unify various separatist groups, but failed because the members did not believe in his leadership.
The Army Chief insisted, "Fundamentally, there is no and will be no negotiation with separatist. Only legal procedure against them can be taken."
Any attempt to negotiate with the separatists is "unacceptable." *The current Army Chief needs to have a word with the former Army Chief on that matter then.*
Anupong said he had no prior knowledge about the Thursday's announcement on Army-run TV5.
"I was only informed about that Chetta wanted to talk about the violence in the south," Anupong said.

I'm told they are real : Gen Chetta
Former Army chief Gen Chetta Thanajaro confirmed that the men who announced the end of operation in the southern region of Thailand were the real rebel leaders.
"They confirmed to me and our reliable mediators that they are leaders of the insurgency in the south. We are very confident on the matters," Chetta said.
Many people have expressed doubts on the unexpected announcement of ceasefire by the three men who self proclaimed that they were leaders of the insurgents. The Thai army's spokesman said the army did not know or never contacted them.
Chetta said he believed the announcement came as they were bored of the fightings and did not want to see loss of lives any more.
He declined to name the three men, particularly the spokesman, saying that he is surely chief of the 11-sets of insurgents.
He said he himself would take responsible if the announcement happened to be a hoax.
