PROFILE: GEN SONTHI BOONYARATGLIN
Meteoric rise to POWER

Never one of Thaksin's favourites, Sonthi is known to be softspoken and is respected for his professionalism.






COMMENT
Onus now on coup leaders to restore trust of the people

They proclaimed to be doing it in the name of democracy, to wipe out rampant corruption and to rehabilitate a badly divided nation. Now the coupmakers have to prove their intent. And unlike those before them, the Thai armed forces leaders who seem to have overthrown caretaker Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra in a bloodless coup, have very little time to do so.
