April 24, 2013: In the south Islamic terrorists opposed to peace talks (between southern separatist groups and the government) have made their displeasure known with posters and banners placed overnight in many villages, along with more violence. The majority of Moslems in the south are apparently opposed to more violence, and the groups negotiating with the government are trying to negotiate an autonomy deal that will encourage more of the hard core Islamic radicals to stop their violence. Many Moslems in the south have already been persuaded to actively assist the security forces (as informants or armed village defense volunteers). If the active Islamic terrorists cannot reverse this trend they are doomed, and some are willing to go down fighting rather than give peace a chance. The peace talks are to resume in Malaysia on the 29th.
