Development

In the 1970's the first insurgencies in Thailand started causing trouble with the people, but quickly calmed down. Then in 2004 the violence started up again, and between the time it started to 2007, more than 2500 people died. This began because the Separatists wanted to create an independent Islamic state, no matter the cost. Today, the violence has gotten worse, the Separatists began killing their own Muslims if they didn't support their cause. There is a lot more human rights violations also.
