The last time a Shinawatra was in power in Thailand, they were ousted in a military coup that catapulted the country into a State of Emergency. Protesters marched on Bangkok and occupied various parts of the city for over two months before the army assaulted the protesters' camp, killing over thirty and wounding hundreds. When Yingluck assumes the role of Prime Minister later this week, will an effort toward national reconciliation begin, or will the country suffer another coup and renewed violence?
