Buddhists Protest Ouster of Saigon General Thi
Demonstrations in Saigon Hue Da Nang and Hoi An pressed against Major General Nguyen Chanh Thi after his ouster by a civilian directorate. Monks in Saigon called for Thi’s retention alongside reforms and elections and urged a return of ousted 1963 Diem regime participants. Observers linked calls to include retired Buddhist figures to resume military duty. If no action, further protests expected. Military operations continued with fogged weather hindering ground air offensives and limited North Vietnam strikes. American and allied forces reported casualties and a large rescue at Ashan camp near the Laos border amid heavy fire.
