government in Thailand, saying it was "necessary to seize power."
following the six months of political deadlock the country has faced.
In a nationwide broadcast this morning, Head of Thai Army, Gen.
Prayuth Chan-ocha, made the announcement flanked by senior military
officers.
"It is necessary for the Peace and Order Maintaining Command – which
includes army, navy, armed forces and police – to take control of
governing the country," he said
Thailand has been under political unrest after its citizens took to
the streets in Nov. 2013 demanding that their Prime Minister, Yingluck
Shinawatra, step down after being accused of being a proxy for her
popular billionaire brother, former PM Thaksin Shinawatra, who was
forced out of office in 2006 after a military coup & now lives in
self-imposed exile to avoid a jail sentence on corruption charges.
