Thailand's Army Announces Coup

On Thursday, Thailand's military announced that they were taking over the country's government.

They cited failed talks to stabilize things, after six months of anti government protests, as the reasoning for their coup.

Attempts to form protests against the coup were quickly dispersed by armed soldiers, who in some cases fired into the air to make their points clear.

Troops were also quick to disperse areas that had been occupied by the protesters, for the last six months.

The army had declared martial law, on Tuesday, but had still pushed for the different political parties to come to an agreement.

Their refusal to do so led to the military's move.
