More than 1,500 people have been killed in sectarian violence since a resurgence in January 2004 of a violent Islamic separatist movement in Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat, the only provinces with Muslim majorities in Buddhist-dominated Thailand.

I've noticed that the conflict in Thailand gets little coverage or discussion, but it's important to remain aware of what's going on. I hadn't realized the death toll had climbed this high - and this is only the deaths since 2004.
