Thailand’s Muslim separatists vow to fight for independence ‘until the end of time’

A leader of the main Malay-Muslim separatist group in southern Thailand has vowed to continue the independence struggle "until the end of time." The declaration marks an ongoing stalemate in a decades-long separatist insurgency that has persisted for two decades and resulted in thousands of deaths in the region.

The latest vow underscores deep-rooted tensions in southern Thailand, where the conflict has continued despite years of instability. The separatist leadership's firm stance indicates that the movement remains committed to its core objectives, signaling that the protracted conflict shows no signs of immediate resolution.
