[QUOTE]Shortly after the protesters burst into the ministry, the building's power was cut. Reuters news agency reported that about 1,000 protesters had entered the compound.More than 30,000 protesters chanted "Get Out!" as they spread across the city on Monday to government offices, military and naval bases and state television channels. Yingluck Shinawatra, the country's current prime minister and sister of Thaksin, has refused to step aside. "I have no intention to resign or dissolve the House," she told reporters. "The cabinet can still function, even though we are facing some difficulties. All sides have shown their political aims; now they must turn to face each other and talk in order to find a peaceful way out for the country." Demonstrations were triggered last month by a since-shelved government plan to grant amnesty to Thaksin, in self-imposed exile since 2008, and pardon those responsible for a 2010 military crackdown on pro-government "Red Shirt" supporters that left more than 90 people dead. The opposing group, who stand against the government, are known as the "Yellow Shirts." Though the bill has been dropped for the time being, the protests have escalated into an all-out call for government change and the toppling of Yingluck, who faces a no-confidence debate on Tuesday. "This week is precarious. The options are very limited for the government," said Thitinan Pongsudhirak, a political analyst at Bangkok's Chulalongkorn University. Protesters marched to 12 buildings, including the Royal Thai Army headquarters, to urge civil servants to join their campaign. "We will protest peacefully, blowing whistles and handing out flowers," Suthep Thaugsuban, a former deputy prime minister under the previous Democrat-led government and now leader of the anti-government campaign, told a massive crowd on the weekend. Thailand's National Security Council chief Paradorn Pattanathabutr said as many as 180,000 people turned up to demonstrate on Sunday, while police estimates put the crowd at 100,000.[/QUOTE] [URL]http://www.aljazeera.com/news/asia-pacific/2013/11/anti-government-protests-grow-thailand-2013112411155998554.html[/URL] Remember what happened last time?
