Myanmar's Revolution through the eyes of a musician - BBC News

More than 750 people have been killed since the Myanmar military seized power three months ago. Thousands of people have been detained, including elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
The borders are closed and the internet effectively blocked, but people are documenting their ongoing resistance to the coup.
In Yangon, a musician and his sister have, for the last two months, been filming for the BBC.

One of the most powerful tools oppressed communities have is solidarity, and that starts with the recognition that the vast majority of human rights abuses we face across the country are committed by the same perpetrator. www.myanmar-now.org/en/news/whatever-myanmar-tells-the-uns-top-court-the-only-hope-for-the-militarys-victims-is-to-stand “The UN human rights envoy for Myanmar Yanghee Lee reminded her audience that other groups across Myanmar have faced the same atrocities for generations. This approach encouraged many ethnic activists to be more open to understanding the Rohingya’s situation. Lee understood that the Tatmadaw depends on dividing up different parts of Myanmar’s population and turning them against one another."

It is heartening that both President Thein Sein and Aung San Suu Kyi have spoken up clearly against the anti-Muslim violence. Ensuring adequate protection of minorities and prosecution of the guilty should follow.” Funding for the study was provided by the Royal Norwegian Government.

Our leader "Aung San Su Kyi" since the beginning of the people's government in 2015, she has faced many difficulties with the military. Because she is the leader of government but she has no power. Power is in the hand of military. She did not tell us that reason. Now we just found out nowadays. Similarly, Rohingya issue was also created by the military. Because they wanted her to go to the ICJ and get her removed. So I want to know you. Aung San Su Kyi is not silent killer. This is the bad story of our country. Thus, need to help the people of Myanmar. So, do you know?

In Kachin, the Kachin Independence Army shot down a Tatmadaw helicopter in Momauk Township on Tuesday, killing a captain, a major and a sergeant. Civilians took up arms in remote western Magway Region this week, the first such incident we've heard from that region so far, reportedly killing four soldiers in Tilin Township. Hakha Township in Chin State also saw fresh clashes, with locals reportedly killing nine Tatmadaw troops. In Mandalay's Sintgaing Township, an armed band of 20 reportedly attacked a police outpost guarding a Chinese oil and gas pipeline, killing three of the six police officers stationed there. Finally, major clashes broke out between the Tatmadaw and the allied Ta’ang National Liberation Army and Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army in northern Shan State's Kutkai Township on Tuesday and Wednesday, in perhaps the fiercest fighting in Shan State since the coup.

I was planning on visiting Myanmar after covid. I pray these people get their democracy. the UN should have stept in by now.

[@christianevanherck6023]

The UN Security Council has 15 members, and five of them - US, UK, Russia, China and France - are permanent members, who have veto rights. The UN can only take action if China and Russia agree. The Chinese and Russian authorities are using their veto power to stop an arms embargo, they sold weapons to the military junta.

The longer this protest is going, the more clearly we from all over the world, can see the Myanmar military coup is so brutal and has no any humanity which doesn’t follow today’s idea we have and share. Futhermore, What Myanmarese are showing is braveness to fight all the bad for themselves and for their future young generation. I am with you, Myanmarese!

Activists are calling for more action from the international community. Contact your representatives. Social justice groups organize numerous letter campaigns through The Action Network, which will send a letter to your senator or representative demanding their help in supporting the fight for democracy in Myanmar.

I feel so angry after watching these videos. Is there something I/we can do beyond commenting on a KZbin Video? I am looking for answers, and the day I find them, I won't just sit and comment. So much violence and I cannot do anything! :(

[@christianevanherck6023]

There are many things you can do from where you are. For example: support their local journalism. www.myanmar-now.org/en "Myanmar Now is an independent news outlet in Myanmar, reporting tirelessly on the violence from the scene. The outlet's first-hand reporting has been instrumental in accurately conveying the realities of the coup. Myanmar Now is asking for donations in order to help fund journalists' salaries and support the outlet's independent reporting."

I cannot believe the situation that my siblings would be killed by military coup controlled by government. Why so many people have to suffer and not being guaranteed their right of freedom even though we are in the same planet?

[@christianevanherck6023]

Because the generals are desperate to protect their power, their wealth and their business assets. www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/jade-and-rubies-how-myanmars-military-amassed-its-fortune "Mines, banks, petroleum, agriculture, tourism: Myanmar's ruling junta has vested interests in large swathes of the country's economy, providing it a colossal - and closely guarded - fortune that the United States has targeted with sanctions. Through two highly secretive military-controlled behemoths - Myanmar Economic Holdings Limited (MEHL) and the Myanmar Economic Corporation (MEC) - at least 133 companies in the country are wholly or partially overseen by generals, according to a report by Justice For Myanmar (JFM). MEHL has partnerships with companies in China, Japan, South Korea and Singapore, among others. It has enriched its shareholders in Myanmar, who - according to the conglomerate's government filings - are all current or retired military officials. Between 1990 and 2011, some US$18 billion was paid out to them, according to an Amnesty International report in September 2020. Junta chief General Min Aung Hlaing, reportedly one of the main shareholders, would have received some US$250,000 in dividends from MEHL in 2011 alone, the report said."

Unfortunately greedy narcissists rule most of the world that's why good people need to stand up against it. It's only natural for those who desire such power to gain it in whatever way possible at the expense of others wellbeing. Oftentimes people only realise when it's too late... Should stop them at the roots, not when it's already fully grown/established. This is same for all countries, people should not be complacent.

[@christianevanherck6023]

@@catone_atelier OK, people should not be complacent. On the other hand, does that mean they should have to die as good people? I'm curious, did you ever stand up against greedy narcissists?
