The protest was against Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, from the "capitalist" party People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD). Encounters between the PAD Yellow Shirts and the People's Power Party (PPP) Red Shirts had been taking place since 2004, using massive armed riots when the counterparty is in the power.
However, this time there were several casualities (15) and hundreds of wonded, as even live ammunition was used by both sides. I think Thailand is quite divided, since in seems like the country is divided in exactly 2 parts. I think this because each side has a huhe mayority to unseat the opposite government each time.
Maybe thailand should try to merge both parties into one neutral party, because it looks like both of them are quite opposite. In fact it reminds me Korea, because one side is supported by USA and the other is supported by North Korea. Maybe this will all lead to civil war or to a pacific division and the country will run like North Thailand and South Thailand.
