FILE - In this Dec. 10, 2013 file photo, Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra arrives to talk to the media after attending a Cabinet meeting in Bangkok, Thailand. Anti-government protesters are planning to shut down Thailand's capital on Monday, Jan. 13, 2014 by blocking traffic at key intersections, providing a fitting metaphor for the country's politics: no way forward, no backing out. That was Feb. 28, 2006, when then-Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, Yingluck's billionaire brother, was seeking to defuse protests against his rule by calling early elections, and the opposition Democrat Party refused to take part. In September that year, the army deposed Thaksin in a coup. Flash forward eight years, and Yingluck has called early elections to defuse anti-government protests, and the opposition Democrat Party is again boycotting the polls.
