Conflict in the South of Thailand

Jeff Ooi · 23:19

Fears have heightend as 15 months of unrest is spreading in Thailand's southern provinces.

The region bordering Malaysia has become a delicate flashpoint as the conflicts involve Muslim secessionist movements revolting against a dominant Buddhist government. (Check Screenshots entries here, here, here and here.)

There is a blog by Sittha Lertphaiboonsiri which provides a vantage point for Thai watchers. It is named Conflict in the South of Thailand and hosted at Bangkok-based ForumAsia. URL:

which will be re-routed to:

Sittha is attached to the Thammasat University. He is conversant in Bahasa Indonesia - complete with the accent - and has adopted an Indonesian name for himself. He is Chinese, Catholic and Thai.

A good candidate for bridge-blogging.

Global Voices on the Radio

Ethan Zuckerman · 16:16

Clark Boyd of The World - a joint project radio show produced by the BBC and WGBH, Boston - spent a good chunk of time with some of the Global Voices team last Tuesday. The result of his efforts was a feature story on today's edition of the program.

Clark is an avid podcaster, and often posts raw audio from his interviews before or after broadcasting his feature stories. The first half of his conversation with Rebecca, me, Ory and Atanu is part of his Friday post.
