Loburt Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 I'm not sure there is any way to know who or how many people this group actually represents. My understanding is that there is more than one group involved. Time will tell. It's all quite mysterious, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loburt Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Democrat MP expresses doubt over ceasefire announcement A Democrat Party MP Thursday expressed doubt over the announcement of ceasefire by a little known group of southern insurgent group. Peerayos Rahimula said it could not be so far verified whether insurgent groups in the deep South would halt attacks following the ceasefire by the all underground movement group. Peerayos, a former academic who is an expert on the southern situation, said the group did not state that they had received authorization from other insurgent groups to make the announcement. Mover, the symbol used by the group was not similar to the ones used by active insurgent groups in southern border provinces. As a result, it is doubtful whether the violence would be ended as declared by the group, Peerayos said. The Nation ***I spoke to this guy a few years back before he was a politician. He lives and was teaching in the south, and iis considered very knowledgeable about what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeusbheld Posted July 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 so far this is looking like a PR masterstroke: "well, we weren't actually FIRING, but we declared a cease fire. let there be peace!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
