Report from the government-biased THE NATION on Government Troops Retreat and Informal Cease-Fire and Prime Minister’s Secretary General Korbsak Assigned to Negotiate with Red Demonstrators
——————————————————–
The government has assigned PM’s Secretary General Korbsak Sapavasu to negotiate with red shirts’ leaders as clashes between soldiers and protesters continued.
Emergency Operations Command’s spokesman Sansern Kaewkamnerd said at 9pm that Korbsak will seek ceasing of all actions by both sides.
“We believe that at the moment, negotiation is needed to prevent further damage to properties and lives of both sides,” he said.
He said the soldiers and police have strictly followed the rules by starting the countering measures from using shields, water cannons, tear gas and rubber bullets.
However the protesters have used all means particularly explosives, guns and rifles, which caused the injuries. He also accused them of firing live rounds and throwing grenades during the fighting.
“The security forces have now retreated to a certain extent from the red shirts,” Sansern said.
The Command did not want to retaliate as the move will certainly cause more violence and more damage to the country.
In a national television Saturday night Sansern asked the protesters to retreat, saying the negotiation with the protesters “to bring back peace” and urged them to back away to avoid more violence.
Thailand’s Ch5 government controlled TVsays there are no deaths among UDD protestors today in Bangkok.
Minister of Information Panitan would be very proud that they are refusing to broadcast any “wrong” information that would “hurt the feelings” of the “Thai people”.
So now Thaksin and the leftist ideologues now have the martyrs they so desperately craved. The gleeful outpouring of righteous indignation will undoubtedly commence before the corpses are even cold. Words fail me in my efforts to express my revulsion and contempt.
Report from pro-government newspaper THE NATION Erawan Emergency Medical Center has announced 486 people were injured from clashes and 8 killed. Unclear if they are referring to all of Bangkok or just their own Medical Center.
Latest report said two red shirts (maybe more) have been shot dead in the chest. Tomorrow the international press will be enraged too because one Japanese journalist is also reported dead. One friend living near the temple in that area said the sound of gunfire was like the Iraq war.
Funnily, one moron cannot control himself and tried to intrude into this forum by blaming Thaksin. My goodness, but let him continue posting because he is alone and can be ignored.
Bangkok Post reports General Prayuth, direct Commander of Military Crackdown in Bangkok today, Insists Red Shirt must abandon their positions. Deputy Prime Minister Korbsak assigned to negotiate ceasefire.
