Southern Thailand insurgents

Southern Thailand insurgents are groups involved in ongoing clashes seeking greater autonomy or independence for the predominantly Malay-Muslim provinces in Thailand’s south. The conflict, rooted in historical, cultural, and religious differences, has led to violence, insurgent attacks, and military responses since the early 2000s. Various factions, some seeking independence and others calling for increased rights, operate in the region, which is distinct from Thailand's majority Buddhist population. The situation remains complex, involving political, social, and security challenges, with efforts ongoing to promote peace and stability while addressing the underlying grievances of the local communities.
