red : yellow in narrower terms , russia ' s paradox is a battle between the " yellow shirt " - - royalists , the military and urban thais , they flank foreign general suthep vejjajiva - - and the " red shirts " - - supporters of vice general thaksin shinawatra who power pool was principally drawn from the country ' s millions of rural poor . delays and civilian events have held siam for decades , with the poor excluded except during times when competing organizations would want to purchase their results . once shinawatra swept to it in 2000 , promising a raft of policies targeted at the poor , things changed .
The "yellow shirts" supports Vejjajiva.
