After the Military coup happened on February 1 in Myanmar, people have been protesting against the coup and the tyranny of the military against the people.
The protests over the coup have been the largest since the so-called Saffron Revolution in 2007, when thousands of the country’s monks rose up against the military regime.
Protesters include teachers, lawyers, students, bank officers and government workers.
Water cannons have been fired at protesters, and the military has imposed restrictions in some areas, including curfews and limits to gatherings.
The UK, EU and Australia are among those to have condemned the military takeover.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres said it was a “serious blow to democratic reforms”.
US President Joe Biden has threatened to reinstate sanctions.
Meanwhile, the military have been using real ammunition against protesters causing death.
Today, some protesters have used youtube as a platform to show their protest and feelings against the coup.
A dance group took the street in the middle of the protests two days ago and started to dance to “They Don’t Care About Us” by Michael Jackson.
“While They Don’t Care About Us has risen from the ashes of 1995 to become a song that continues to offer a voice to the disenfranchised, it’s a shame that Michael is not here to see the true, lasting impact of what he created.” – Pez Jax taken from “The Story of HIStory“
All our prayers and support to the people of Myanmar.
