Current unrest in the Malay-Muslim provinces of southern Thailand has<br>captured growing national, regional, and international attention due to the<br>heightened tempo and scale of rebel attacks, the increasingly jihadist<br>undertone that has come to characterize insurgent actions, and the central<br>government's often brutal handling of the situation on the ground. This<br>paper assesses the current situation and its probable direction.
