Thaksin ouster: Time to come homeIn this file photo taken in May 2007, then army chief and coup leader Gen Sonthi Boonyaratglin (centre) gives a press conference following the dissolution of political parties over election fraud. According to the former army chief, Thaksin told him several days after the September 2006 coup that he was a gentleman and had good sportsmanship while looking forward to reconciliation. With the Pheu Thai Party taking the lead in forming the next government, Gen Sonthi said the party will likely focus on finding solutions to conflicts within the country. Gen Sonthi added that he was of Class 6 at the Armed Forces Academies Preparatory School and Thaksin was his junior at the same school. I do believe that he still has the loyalty," Gen Sonthi said.
