Thailand
Red Shirts in Thailand are free
In Italy no one is paying attention to Thailand now because all north Africa is burning; but at least from Thailand comes something good this bloody week.
I’m not going to repeat once again the story of the yellow shirts and red shirts, but I was there in 2006 during the military golpe and so I have followed the issue since the beginning.
I cried for the ninety people killed and about 2,000 wounded during the 10 weeks of anti-government protests that smothered large swathes of the capital. Besides protesters, the fatalities included soldiers, police, foreign cameramen, rescue workers and bystanders.
I could not believe what I was seeing on TV last year, could not believe that also Thais, people so kind, can transform themselves and follow daemons of violence.
Personally I definitely do not like the tycoons regime that there was in Thailand before 2006 like I do not… Continue reading
Red shirt gathering peacefully in Bangkok
In the blog I followed since the beginning the politic evolutions in Thailand as the actual situation started when I was there in 2006 and one day in the morning I find out tanks along the street on my way to office. The political situation is so similar to Italy that is unbelievable, we just are too coward or too evolved or too old to go on with tanks. But after the last events in Rome last week we really have to see what will go on.
It was expected more than 30,000 red shirted people in Bangkok yesterday began their peaceful event praying at Prathumwanaram temple for the dead protesters of the repression occurred during “bloody may” in Thailand in Bangkok where the Thai government killed 91 protesters. It does not matter the color if yellow shirt (pro government) or red shirt (asking new election) they were just people.… Continue reading
Kim Aris had seen his mother Aung San Suu Kyi after a decade
I was so busy lately but can’t skip this amazing and wonderfull news.
The last time the youngest child of Aung San Suu Kyi, Kim Aris, had seen his mother goes back to a decade ago, when it was allowed to stay three weeks with her. After the end of house arrest of Aung San Suu Kyi the ruling military junta in Myanmar, formerly Burma, has granted now an entry visa and Kim Aris was able to see his mother.
Aung San Suu Kyi leader of the NLD the National League for Democracy, Nobel prize in 1991, has never been able to know their grandchildrens.
According to the British Embassy in Bangkok on the evening of the liberation of Aung San Suu Kyi had a telephone conversation with Kim Aris. When she was confined under house arrest or in prison, a condition in which she spent about fifteen of the… Continue reading

Bloody Saturday in Thailand
I was in the land of smile in 2006 during the beginning of this endless story, during the military coup d’etat, while in the night tank rose in Bangkok and stopped in front of parliament.
The prime minister was exiled.
I was living in ChiangMai since a couple of years and I still remember that morning when I woke up, got my motorbike, and after few roads I saw all around armor-plated vehicles with military checking the main ways and intersections of the town.
The feeling was strange, but there was no violence at all, people were kind with military and a new beginning for Thailand was right there.
At that time I could not forecast what happened yesterday.
19 people were killed and over 800 injured fighting the Thai government; spokesman for the premier Vejjajiva stated that soldiers used rubber bullets while rebels were armed with grenade launchers, hand… Continue reading
Thailand Blood Protest
In Bangkok, Thailand, a formidable political protest against the Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva is in place since days. It is the movement of “red shirts” the supporter of the former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra exiled since 2006.
The “red shirts” are asking resignation of Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva and to return to the polls.
The red is also the color of blood…. so the demonstrators have decided to donate their own blood to overspread the roads of the capital, with particular attention to the places and to the palaces of the government. The challenge is to force the Prime Minister and his men to choose to return to the polls.
Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has rejected the ultimatum of opponents, deployed the army and left to the “red shirts” the next move.
I do hope for a peaceful solution of this endless story, the kind Thai people deserve better politicians and a better future.
Freedom for Aung San Suu Kyi
Hello there, so this is the end of the ignominious trial against Aung San Suu Kyi .
It is quite unbelievable that after 3 months since last events and more then 15 years of house arrest nothing has changed.
FREE IMMEDIATELY Aung San Suu Kyi
Today is a terrible day, really a shamefull nightmare without end.
I have no words this morning to condem the action of the burmese government.
I do hope that international leaders this time will move their fat asses.
I have posted some interviews, some interesting videos…
DO NOT FORGET to sign for Aung San Suu Kyi’s freedom…
Thailand Crisis
Finally here we are.
It is the beginning of a civil war like someone already said?
Thais will finally find their own way to real democracy?
Refugees in Thailand
Hi there…
When I visited in 2000, near MaeSot, a refugee camp, it was very similar to the one you will see in the video, and is marvelous that some angel like her visited the same kind of place.
For sure she can do much more than what I did.
The situation over there in North Thailand and in Burma has not changed at all.
