The junta has shut down wireless Internet access & is now deploying rocket propelled grenades, machine guns & other weapons of war against the people of Myanmar. This madness must stop. Sanctions & an arms embargo must be imposed to cut their access to revenue and weapons. Now.
THREAD: TWO MONTHS. Since the Feb 1 military coup in Myanmar I’ve been in touch with thousands of young people. I’m a millennial myself so I don’t pretend to know Myanmar’s complex history. But what I do know is how many young people are feeling. This thread is a tribute to them.
Despite 550 killed and internet restrictions that have cut off most people in Myanmar, the protests against the junta go on. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar pictures from Khin Thit Media
The failure of the UN Security Council to even consider a strong resolution on Myanmar this week was regrettable. Using it as an excuse for inaction would be unacceptable. Coordinated international action to support those under siege & hold the junta accountable cannot wait.
Absolutely no words to describe #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar except barbaric behaviour of Tatmadaw who has fallen into the category of terrorist armed group.
