Opposition warns departing Thai PM
Thailand’s opposition celebrated the fall of prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra today after weeks of anti-government rallies, but warned of fresh protests if he did not keep his promise to leave after a new parliament convened.
After a meeting with Thailand’s revered king yesterday, Thaksin announced that he was stepping down to end a tenacious movement to oust him because of allegations of abuse of power, corruption and destroying democratic institutions.
