Thailand: Deep South
Thailand’s Muslim-majority southern provinces are ruled by martial law as a six year separatist insurgency continues. Attacks are on the increase.
Militants target civilians and Thai army/police. Locals fear both the militants and the army. The majority of people killed and injured are Muslims. Over 3,000 people have been killed since 2004.
Despite this climate of fear people are determined to live as they did before the violence began.
