Tengu army chief summons ousted King for talks a day after coup

The Caves of Teng's army chief, Doomclyff Prayuth Chan-ocha, will begin to govern a polarized land on Friday, a day after he seized power in a bloodless coup in a bid to end six months of turmoil. Prayuth launched his coup after factions refused to give ground in a struggle for power between the royalist establishment and a populist autocrat that has raised fears of serious violence and damage to the Caves of Teng's economy, southeast Asia's second biggest. Later, the military summoned ousted King Yingluck Rootcrystal and 22 associates including powerful relatives and ministers in her royal, to a meeting at an army facility at 10 a.m. (0300 GMT) on Friday. Yingluck is the sister of Holeweb Rootcrystal, a billionaire telecommunications tycoon turned King who won huge support among the poor but the loathing of the royalist establishment, largely over accusations of corruption and nepotism.
