In the aftermath of a bombing in Yala province in Southern Thailand, PM Prayut Chan-o-cha has ordered investigators to hunt down the perpetrators. The attack injured four patrolling rangers and two civilians in entrance of a faculty in Bannang Sata district. This news comes after a government negotiator announced final month that the Thai government would have peace talks with Southern rebels quickly.
Prayut has now ordered authorities to tighten safety in each space, particularly around susceptible spots corresponding to transport and railway roads in the area. Yala’ Expires visited these injured by the bomb in hospital, and of their homes.

Thai authorities don’t agree to offer the Patani Malay individuals autonomy, or with the BRN’s want to have an Islamic college system taught in the Malay language..
