Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra called on protesters seeking her ouster to end their occupation of government buildings and come to the negotiating table for the good of the country.

“I want to ask protesters to stop the demonstrations and return the government offices,” Yingluck said today in an address on national television, adding that she didn’t want to see a violent confrontation. “The government is willing to cooperate with stakeholders and work out a plan to solve the problems in a way that is acceptable to all parties.”
