The decision by the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship to sever ties with army specialist Khattiya Sawasdipol and Surachai Danwattananusorn highlights disunity in the pro-Thaksin Shinawatra camp.
The camp is divided into three factions. One is led by Veera Musikhapong, Jatuporn Prompan and Natthawut Saikua and is organising the present demonstration. Weng Tojirakarn, Arisman Pongruengrong and Suporn Atthawong are in this group.
The others are a group led by Maj Gen Khattiya, with ex-military officer Gen Panlop Pinmanee, a Puea Thai Party member, as his close ally, while the Daeng Siam (Red Siam) faction is led by Mr Surachai and supported by Jakrapob Penkair and is a splinter group of the UDD.
