In that last few years the fire of resistance against occupation has been kept forever flaming. It was partly due to the high fighting spirit of the Patani people and the steadfastness within their souls. The other part was due to the burning flame being periodically "fueled" from the acts of violence by the Thai securities themselves. This burning flame will persist and continue unabated.
Of late there has been serious discussion within the inner circle of Patani freedom fighters whether or not they should participate in the peace dialog with the military in a situation where the junta extends a hand for peace while the other hand points the gun at unarmed and innocent people?
The Patani freedom fighters should not be blamed if they choose not to get along with the peace process. The military should bear the responsibility of not only being insincere but their true intention is reflected in their treacherous acts .
