Thailand’s army chief, Prayuth Chan-Ocha, has announced on national television, that he is taking control of the country in a military coup.
He made this announcement after detaining leaders of rival political groups at a meeting held to find a solution to the country’s six-month political crisis,
“To restore peace back to the country in a short time and to reform the country’s politics, economy and society, the Thai military, army, navy, air force and police have seized power from May 22 onward,” Chan-Ocha said.

I like what he did. for 6 months the politicians have been fighting over power. He invited them to discuss on how to solve the problems they refused to agree, so in order to move the country forward he has to act to stop the country from drifting further into anarchy. The politicians are useless
