FM confirms: UAE expelled Thaksin

Convicted former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has been asked to leave Dubai by the government of the United Arab Emirates, a Thai foreign affairs spokesman confirmed on Saturday.

“A high ranking government official of the UAE has confirmed that the fugitive ex-premier has been asked to leave the UAE for having violated an agreement that he would not use the country as base for his political activities,” assistant to the foreign affairs minister Phanich Wikitseth said.

The UAE has sent a signal to Thaksin to stop using it as his political base and causing problems for Thailand and to leave the country, Mr Phanich said.

He had no idea when Thaksin would leave the UAE or where he would go. But if his ministry learns his whereabouts and if Thaksin uses that particular country as political base, the government of that country will be asked to follow the decision made by the United Arab Emirates.

Thaksin had early this morning denied via his Twitter page that he was being expelled by the UAE, as was reported by the media. He said he was leaving today to meet his two daughters in Europe.

Fucken Thai government may believe that Thaksin is staging the current protest by the red shits, operating from Cambodia.

If Thaksin is not actually in Cambodia then what does it mean? Is a provocative act?

Good luck Abishit and a good sleep tonight and wake up under a new government

Where else the fugitive Thaksin would be beside with his criminal buddy, Hun Sen? You know the idiot Hun Sen will gladly allow Thaksin to use Cambodia when needed. Hun Sen not only just half eyed but also half brain too. Hun Sen be glad and proud to do all the wrong things as much as possible as we all see. When have you heard Hun Sen ever associates with good people? Not that ethical people would associates with him anyway.

True. By looking at his friends and people who he associated with will have an idea what kind a person he is.

Street gangs will not associates with doctors and lawyers. Doctors and lawyer also don't hang around with them street gangs.

Looking at people you associates with will label you what type a person you are. It's simple!

The gangster is Abhisit government, not Thaksin. Thaksin was a legit Prime minister of Thailan, elected by the people. The military coup, and Abhisit yellow shirt PAD steal the government seat and chase Thaksin all over the world.

At the end, justice will prevail. Soon the red shirt will force Abhisit out or make a lot of trouble for him that he cannot sleep easily at night.

Thaksin will return to Thailand no matter what Anhisit and Chakri dynasty try. Chakri has too much money to buy everyone and to keep power, but how long?
