Statement from the military reformist

The following is the statement from the miliary reformist.

There has been social division like never before. Each side has been trying to conquer another with all possible means and the situation tends to intensify with growing doubts on the administration amid widespread reported corruption.

State units and independent organisations have been politically meddled, not able to deliver their services as specified in the Constitution.

The administration is also usually bordering on "lest majest" actions against the revered King. Despite attempts from social units for compromises, there is no way to end the conflicts.

The revolution body thus needs to seize power. We have no intention to rule but to return the power to the people as soon as possible, to preserve peace and honour the King who is the most revered to all Thais.

[Nekochan]

Whatever the outcome is, Thailand is moving back roughly 10-15 years.

I remembered Feb 1991 as if it were yesterday.

and until 10 pm today ......oh! not again!

I think it is not necessary to end like this. But that's how Thailand is operated.

So investors may pack and go to China instead (they just did?)

Khun Wirasut!, you have cool reports.

Anybody have and streaming video feeds for any of us in Bangkok?

We are in the dark here. No news, no cnn

Reuters Report

By Pracha Hariraksapitak

BANGKOK (Reuters) - The Thai army declared martial law nationwide in the early hours of Wednesday after a coup to dismiss Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, a coup spokesman said in a televised address.

He also ordered all soldiers to report to their barracks and banned troop movements unauthorised by the coup leaders.

The army took control of Bangkok and announced it would set up a commission to reform the constitution despite Thaksin declaring a state of emergency from New York.

After tanks surrounded Government House in the country's first coup in 15 years, all television channels relayed a written statement saying the armed forces and police were in control of Bangkok and surrounding provinces, and appealed for calm.

It said the armed forces and police had set up a commission to decide on political reforms, ousting Thaksin in the midst of protracted political crisis in which he was accused of undermining democracy.

Weerasak Kohsurat, a deputy minister in a prior government, told Reuters he believed royal adviser Sumate Tantivejakul would head the reform commission and an interim government would be formed while political reforms were agreed.

Elections would be called soon and Thaksin would be allowed to take part, he said.

The statement was broadcast shortly after Thaksin called a television station to make a statement from New York, where he is attending a United Nations summit.
