Why Mohinga Matters

January 17, 2018January 17, 2018 ~ theingilynn ~ Leave a comment

Mohinga is a big deal for Burmese people. It's our go-to breakfast and it's our identity. We proudly cook mohinga and treat our friends from different places to have a taste of Myanmar. So I guess Mohinga does matter. Mohinga is basically made with thin rice noodle, dipped in rich fish soup. Sometimes, we add … Continue reading Why Mohinga Matters

Time’s Up: A Wakeup Call for Myanmar Celebrities

January 9, 2018January 17, 2018 ~ theingilynn ~ Leave a comment

Yesterday, my Instagram was flooded with photos from Golden Globe event and party-goers on my feed. I couldn't help but noticed that everyone wore black and wore pins that said "Time's Up Now." I might see a post or two about Time's Up on the internet and knew it was about fighting against sexual harassment … Continue reading Time’s Up: A Wakeup Call for Myanmar Celebrities

We heard this morning that a security guard was severely wounded during a bomb blast outside the Myawady bank branch 1 in Mandalay. Myawady bank is one of the well-known military-owned businesses now boycotted by many and hence people queue up in front of its branches every weekday to withdraw their money. Since it’s a Sunday, there was no line of customers otherwise the bomb would have injured many more people
We woke up this Saturday morning praying that we would still have access to the world when the clock struck 9 this morning. We are grateful that we’re still here and darkness hasn’t descended upon us. That’s the thing… the fact that we all have to feel grateful that we somehow still have a partial right to information, or that we still have partial rights to everything that everyone is entitled to… that’s how the military junta have tried to normalize life for people of Myanmar for years.
Due to the various kinds of Internet shutdown, we were unable to collect and verify information but many netizens report that late night raids were still happening all over the country. Seven men in Lanmadaw Township, and four people in South Okkalar Township were abducted last night.
Day 67 since the illegal, cowardly and vile coup began. Yangon, which had suffered the most casualties among the peaceful protestors, have been relatively more quiet for some days now. The junta seems to think cracking the most populous and most internationally exposed city will win him the throne to the lands.
We reported a couple of times previously about the brave people of Tahan (Kalay) from Sagaing region who has set up protest camps and fought back junta’s forces with improvised firearms. This morning as early as 5 am, hundreds of terrorists ambushed the camp and dispersed protesters by using artillery shells and hand grenades which killed eight people from defense team and three civilians living close-by according to RFA Burmese.
We wished the rain stopped for our Karen sisters and brothers who had to hide under the bomb shelters in the woods. But the shower did not stop until the morning, and displaced Karen civilians continued to suffer from the shower of the junta’s airstrikes despite the army’s unilateral ceasefire declared on April 1, 2021, and around 20,000 civilians are in hiding and fleeing into Thailand.
