A closer look at the coalition’s ‘Fair’ peace plan for insurgency-hit Deep South

The minor Fair Party gained prominence by joining the Move Forward-led coalition, specifically for its dedicated peace plan aimed at resolving the long-standing insurgency in Thailand's Deep South.
The coalition, led by Pita Limjaroenrat, aligns with Fair Party's vision, advocating for decentralization, civilian-led efforts, and prioritizing food security over military security in the southern border provinces.
Fair Party's "comprehensive approach" includes making peace a national agenda, revoking freedom restrictions, restructuring local bureaucracy, and proposing the abolition of key security agencies, drawing on MP Kannavee Suebsang's experience from South Sudan.
