| Thai army chief warns of Cambodian Muslim threat |
| 2012-08-22 |
| Some Cambodian Muslims have joined violent The army chief said that not all have returned to Cambodia. The army is asking the Immigration Bureau and the Customs Department about the whereabouts of Cambodian Muslims, he said. Gen Prayuth said most Cambodian Muslims who entered Thailand are travelling through to neighbouring countries, particularly Malaysia, to find work. He was responding to remarks made by Deputy Prime Minister Yutthasak Sasiprapa that one thousand Cambodian Muslims entered Thailand through border checkpoints in eastern provinces each month. Gen Yutthasak is also concerned the Cambodians could be involved with the violence in the southern provinces. He said he had ordered the Immigration Bureau to check the numbers of Cambodian Muslims entering and leaving Thailand to monitor their movements. Gen Prayuth said, "The main reason [they leave Cambodia] is poverty. They have no jobs in their homeland, so they must work elsewhere. Most of them do not aim to get involved in terrorism ... but they may give indirect financial support." |
