"BRN"

The Thai delegation successfully negotiated a peace deal with Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN) for the deep South and Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha is very pleased with the outcome, deputy government spokesperson Ratchada Dhnadirek said on Friday.

Parties offer few if any answers for a 15-year-old deadly insurgency that successive govts have failed to quell.

Thai authorities intend to invite separatist group Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN) to the negotiating table in a move to restore peace in the deep South, negotiation chief Udomchai Thamsarorat said on Friday.

Barisan Revolusi Nasional remains wary of peace talks after years of Thai military-backed ‘trickery’

International best practices are being ignored as stakeholders in the so-called peace process for Thailand’s Muslim-majority far South seek a quick fix instead of addressing the historical root causes of a conflict that has claimed nearly 7,000 lives since January 2004.

POLICE HAVE arrested one suspect for the bombing spree that hit Thailand’s deep South on Sunday, while others are being sought after being identified.

SECURITY AGENCIES believe a new operation-level leader of the BRN separatist movement may have engineered co-ordinated sabotage attacks that rocked Thailand’s deep South on Sunday night.

Four unidentified suspects sought for Wednesday’s attacks as Prawit denies loopholes.

There was nothing new in the statement delivered by the Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN) on Monday, but that doesn’t mean the message was without merit or impact.

THE BARISAN Revolusi Nasional Melayu Patani (BRN) separatist group is not involved in the ongoing process to establish “safety zones” in the deep South as the group had not participated in the peace talks, Thailand’s negotiating chief Aksara Kerdphol said yesterday.

IT WAS billed as a significant step – some even called it a breakthrough – but the announcement on Tuesday that the Thai government and Malay Muslim separatists from the far South has agreed on a “safety zone” is still a pipe dream because the Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN), the group that controls virtually all of the combatants on the ground, is not onboard.
