Thaksin 'booted out of UAE'

Online news:

Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra has left the United Arab Emirates at the request of the UAE government and flown to Montenegro, Thepthai Senpong, spokesman for Democrat Party leader, said on Wednesday afternoon.

The UAE government did not want its territory used as a base for Thaksin's political activities as it could affect relationships between the two countries, according to Mr Thepthai.

Thaksin is reported to have a Montenegro passport and investment interests in the Mediterranean principality.

Lol. Hahahaha. Now all the red shirts will say its a huge conspiracy, because there is no way a nation would bar Thaksin, a hero of democracy from using their nation as a base for freedom fighting! Lol. Too bad Japan, America, UK, have already publicly barred him from traveling there. All of them, even the globalist elite that are using him as a puppet, admit he is an autocratic despot, not a particularly effective one at that.

I would worry more about Democrat's and what's left of PTP IN Thailand and what their actual policies are and bury Thaksin once and for all.

Montenegro was a principality in the middle age. It is republic since June 2006...

I suspect Thepthai does not know what he is talking about. There is no confirmation of this story in the UAE media.

Likely that Thaksin's UAE visit visa expired - so he leaves for a few days - and then returns to Dubai.

That's another killing field in recent years, between the Serb and Yugoslav. What a choice. His next refuge may be with the Contras.

The Ministry of Interior of Montenegro who delivered the Montenegrin passport to Thaksin is under investigation for suspicion of corruption.
There was a complaint on May 2009 against the Ministry of Interior Affairs and Public Administration for flagrant violations of the Law on Free Access to Information, after had remained unfulfilled her request for information pertaining to the way by which the fugitive ex-Prime Minister Thaksin was granted the Montenegrin citizenship, as well as where and when a biometric passport has been issued to him.
Next stopover after the Montenegro:... the Nicaragua?

He could stay there because of strong help by his friend Al-Fahim. However, Al-Fahim is in serious trouble due to failure on Hydra Properties and take over deal of Portsmouth FC and Thaksin is possibly involved in these cases. Just follow latest news of Portsmouth then you can easily see the whole picture in behind.

"Between the Lines", this is breaking news. The other side haven't had time to find it out. Expect moaning and gnashing of teeth to begin soon. I anticipate Chalerm will shouting and raving any time soon. Does that bloke EVEN speak normally or is he always that loud and angry ?
