Recently, violent incidents targeting the military, police, civil servants, and civilians have become frequent in southern Thailand.

The Thai government is strengthening security at key locations while simultaneously beginning a plan to resume peace talks with extremist Islamic organizations in the far south, combined with measures to develop the economy and society in the region. Thai Prime Minister Prayuth has also set a goal of ending violence in the southern provinces within one year.
