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, Bloomberg reports.
“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.
