I can't imagine how life is -- living with almost daily terror and violence.

It seems that terrorist groups are doing more to harm local people. Aren't some terrorists harming their friends and neighbours? Or are these terrorists from outside? Where are they from? Who give them money, weapons, transport, accommodation and food -- so they can terrorize our friends and neighbours?

Yes! There are a lot of questions that we need to ask among us and to ask our/Thailand (government) security forces. It is a goal of any government to keep peace and safe living conditions everywhere within the country's boundary. In countries where this goal fails people go out to seek safe and peaceful place to live (as we have seen African migrants flee to Europe, tribes in Syria and Iraq flee to Turkey, the Rohingyas flee to open seas, and so on).

Would Thais in Betong and the surround areas have to flee from their homes and ancestral land to seek asylum in other countries? Over 10 years of living in terror is enough reason for UNHCR to consider giving them aid and safe passage -- to peace!
