The prime minister, who has broken off negotiations with the protesters occupying parts of central Bangkok, said he hoped to resolve the crisis soon without resorting to force, but appealed for patience. “We recognize that as every day passes by, the people of Thailand suffer, the country suffers, but we want to make sure that there is rule of law,” Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, according to quotes posted on the news channel’s website. “We will try to enforce the law with minimum losses and we will try to find a political resolution, but it takes time, patience and cooperation.” The four-hour closure of Bangkok’s Skytrain caused commuter chaos and raised concerns in the tense capital, where hundreds of soldiers armed with automatic weapons were deployed to guard stations and other major city boulevards. At least 26 people have been killed and nearly 1,000 wounded since protesters known as the Red Shirts – who view the government as illegitimate – began occupying parts of Bangkok in mid-March, closing down five-star hotels and shopping malls and devastating the country’s vital tourism industry. The government has not given a clear statement of how it plans to end the standoff after rejecting a Red Shirt compromise proposal to disband parliament within 30 days instead of immediately.

It’s called “cultural trauma,” and according to Jeffrey Alexander, a sociology professor at Yale University, it occurs “when a collectivity experiences an injury to its idealization of who it is.” Basically, every year has a narrative. Some years simply have more memorable and, shall we say, darker narratives than others. So, when 2016 kicked off in January with the death of David Bowie — a music icon countless fans viewed as untouchable — a narrative about unthinkable and unpredictable tragic events occurring was set into motion. “With Prince and David Bowie, I think the real surprise was that they weren’t immortal,” dramaturg Anika Chapin tells CBS News. “There was something about them that was so special and so odd and unusual, that it was like, the fact that they were even capable of dying like human beings was in itself disappointing.” When Bowie’s passing was followed in close succession by more terrible news — the terrorist attack in Brussels, the spread of the Zika virus, the water crisis that turned Flint, 바카라 전략 Michigan into a disaster area — 2016 evolved into a year many people wished they could simply rewind. “There were a lot of bad things that happened over the course of...

(AP) CAIRO – Egypt’s president on Saturday stressed the need for his country to have a bigger role in international affairs, using his first local television interview to urge the Syrian government to end the carnage coursing through Cairo’s onetime ally. “The Syrian regime needs to understand that the continuation of bloodshed goes against all laws, desires, history and humanity,” Mohammed Morsi said in the hour-long interview, broadcast on state TV. The one-on-one interview addressed a range of issues facing the new president, who was sworn into office on June 30 in the country’s first free presidential elections. He assumed the post after a rocky transitional period governed by the country’s military, which took power after last year’s uprising that ousted longtime President Hosni Mubarak. Egypt’s uprising inspired others in the region, including in Syria. More in After the Arab Spring “Egypt is not on the sidelines of this problem. There is a positive and personal relationship between the Egyptian people and the Syrian people,” Morsi said, in a reference to the shortly-lived alliance that ended in 1961 between Egypt and Syria, when both nations shared the same flag as part of a union. “The Syrian struggle pains us now, pains all people of the region.” Rebels move command 현금바둑이 center from Turkey to SyriaAssad: Syrian rebels will be defeated Syria’s bloody 18-month conflict, which activists say has killed...
