Thailand's Main Malay-Muslim Separatist Group Vows to Continue Fight as Peace Talks Stall
Barisan Revolusi Nasional says it will keep pursuing self-determination for Thailand's southern provinces amid a stalled peace process
Thailand's largest armed separatist group, the Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN), has said it will continue fighting for self-determination in the country's predominantly Malay-Muslim southern provinces, according to Al Jazeera.
The statement comes as peace talks aimed at ending the decades-long insurgency in southern Thailand have stalled, Al Jazeera reported.
The BRN is described as the main armed group behind the separatist insurgency in Thailand's south, a region with a significant Malay-Muslim population that has long sought greater autonomy or independence from the Buddhist-majority country.
Details of the specific reasons for the breakdown in negotiations, and the timeline of the latest developments, were not further elaborated in the available report.
Al Jazeera's report did not specify which government or international bodies had been involved in mediating the talks, nor did it provide additional comment from Thai authorities.
