Miraculously none of the teachers or police is killed. The explosion was heard all over the city of Pattani. Thailand is struggling to keep up appearances as the land of smiles has to face up to its troubled south. Since 2004 more than 3500 people have been killed and 4000 wounded in a war we never hear about. In the early hours of January 4th 2004 more than 50 armed men stormed a army weapons depot in Narathiwat taking assault rifles, machine guns, rocket launchers, pistols, rocket-propelled grenades and other ammunition. Arsonists simultaneously attacked 20 schools and three police posts elsewhere in Narathiwat. The raid marked the start of the deadliest period of armed conflict in the century-long insurgency. Despite some 30,000 Thai troops being deployed in the region, the shootings, grenade attacks and car bombings happen almost daily, with 90 per cent of those killed being civilians. 28.09.07.

  • A boy lies naked on what is left of a matrass on the floor inside a dorm in the Kissy clinic. According to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Sierra Leone is one of the poorest nations on the face of earth. Recently it saw the end of a decade of civil-war, that caused an extreme suffering for the population. Tens of thousands became victims of armed forces on amphetamine, that cut limbs for fun, child soldiers armed to the teeth with Kalashnikows.  An entire population was driven away from their homes and the infrastructure was completely destroyed. Today thanks to some 15.000 soldiers from the UN-AMSIL peacekeeping force, order is restored and dailylife is again more or less as it once was. Many of those who saw the horrors of the war can manage to move on with their lives, many cant manage. <br />
Kissy Mental Hospital is located on a small hilltop on the north part of the capitol Freetown in a small suburbia named Kissy, The hospital compound was constructed in the mid 1800s under the bristish colonny empire. It has served several different purposes in the past, today it serves as the only institution for individuals suffering from mental illness in the whole country. <br />
The chief nurse tells that few turns back to narmality, some of the young boys are examples of success. He admits that its not the easiest place to become sane, rather a place that makes you insane.
