Thai army armoured vehicles seized by the 'Red Shirt' protesters after overnight clashes sit next to the Democracy Monument in central Bangkok on April 11, 2010. Demonstrators vowed to remain on the streets of the Thai capital and bring down the government, the day after the country's worst political violence in nearly two decades. Despite the clashes between the army and 'Red Shirt' protesters, which left 19 people dead and over 800 injured, the supporters of fugitive ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra said they would continue to occupy key areas of Bangkok.

Twenty one people have been killed and 300 hurt in clashes in Thailand's capital, Bangkok, as troops tried to retake areas from anti-government protesters. Soldiers and police fired tear gas and rubber bullets as they advanced after dusk on the red-shirt protesters, who responded by throwing petrol bombs. The army has now called for a truce, saying its troops have retreated. The protesters, who want the government to call new elections, have been camped out in parts of the city for a month.
