Sapae-ing Basor, who died in Malaysian exile late last year, is ringed by photos of some of the violence he created and supported. There never has been complete peace in the deep South, but the Long War only began in 1960. A young fire-breathing school head, a separatist and anti-Bangkok fanatic, Sapae-ing Basor, declared it was time to take up arms against Bangkok. Sapae-ing died on Jan 10 in exile in Terengganu, a bounty of 10 million baht still on his head. The War Bringer was dead; let's stop bringing war.
