TroyinEwa/Perv Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I thought he was broke. Didn't some supporters take up a collection for him somewhat recently? Maybe paying all these people 500baht a day or whatever is draining his funds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentors Posted April 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Thaksin calls, eggs on protesters Fugitive ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra called by telephone to around 15,000 supporters still camped out at Government House on Saturday night. "I thank the Red Shirts in Pattaya who showed strength," he told the crowd. "In the next few days we will see real change. Red Shirts in Bangkok and elsewhere must now act immediately so that we can change our country." The next move of the United Front of Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) is not known, after they clogged Bangkok streets on Thursday and forced cancellation of the Asean summit in Pattaya on Saturday. Pattaya was reported back to normal on Saturday evening, as the anti-government protesters left for home or the Bangkok demonstration. Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, meanwhile, made a surprise return to the summit venue at Jomtien late on Saturday, still protected by dozens of soldiers. He announced the lifting of a six-hour state of emergency, and also apologised. "We apologise to the Thai people that this incident happened," he told the media. "Even though the government was not responsible, it is its duty to ensure the meeting runs smoothly. BANGKOK POST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentors Posted April 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Thaksin vows return if protesters harmed Agence France-Presse First Posted 20:27:00 04/12/2009 Thailand's fugitive former premier Thaksin Shinawatra told his rallying supporters Sunday he would return to the kingdom if authorities launched a violent crackdown on protests in the capital. In a telephone address to a thousands-strong crowd gathered outside Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva's offices, Thaksin said he was closely monitoring a state of emergency declared earlier to force an end to the rallies. "I will closely monitor the situation and if there is any violence I will return to Thailand immediately. I will not allow them [authorities] to use force," he said. Thaksin thanked the army for not using violence against his so-called "Red Shirt" movement and urged them to join his campaign to overthrow the government. :alert: "The troops who have already come out can come and join the Red Shirts to help us to get democracy for the people," he said, referring to soldiers deployed to enforce the emergency measures. [color:red]"This is a golden minute. We will make history and there will be no more coups in Thailand. We have to help achieve democracy for all of us," he added.[/color] Deputy prime minister Suthep Thaugsuban in a national televised address earlier appealed directly to security forces to get tough as they appeared reluctant to deal with anti-government protesters. Thaksin has made a series of addresses by video link and phone to demonstrators who have congregated in the capital for two weeks. The so-called "Red Shirts" upped their campaign last week with a huge demonstration in the capital before moving to the coastal city of Pattaya where they stormed a regional summit, forcing its closure Saturdayhttp://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/world/view/20090412-198916/Thaksin-vows-return-if-protesters-harmed.

TroyinEwa/Perv Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Some BM brought this up fairly recently and I can't remember who but keep in mind that Thaksin has said he would not come back to politics. I guess he was lying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
