BREAKING: “Army Declares Martial Law” Thailand

 

 

May 20 2014

 

 

Thailand government states that they were not informed, that the Thai Army did this on their own! WHAT?! Heads up, people, “executive” decisions coming to America SOON!

 

Bangkok, Thailand (CNN) – It’s tense in Thailand, where violence has spilled into the streets, causing deaths, injuries and political instability that led to the Thai army declaring martial law Tuesday.

The declaration was a surprise move that an aide to the embattled Prime Minister said the government didn’t know about.

“They took this action unilaterally,” said the aide, who did not wish to be named. The person described the action as “half a coup d’etat.”

Lt. Gen. Nipat Thonglek told CNN the move was not a coup.

“The army aims to maintain peace, order and public safety for all groups and all parties,” a ticker running on the army’s television channel said. “People are urged not to panic, and can carry on their business as usual,” he said.

Two weeks ago, after protests shook the country, the country’s Constitutional Court removed caretaker Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra from government.

The people of Thailand are all too familiar with coup d’etats. There have been at least 18 actual and attempted military takeovers since Thailand became a constitutional monarchy in 1932. Read more or listen to video below
