No settlement in sight for Thailand's south

No settlement in sight for Thailand's south: Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra appears more ready than previous governments to negotiate a settlement of the Muslim insurgency in the south, but her ability to end the violent stalemate is limited. Car bombings are thought to reflect insurgent opposition to talks with an administration aligned to Yingluck's brother, former premier Thaksin Shinawatra, while the army opposes decentralization. - Jason Johnson (May 22, '12)
