Life as a Sprint Relay

September 19, 2019 ~ theingilynn ~ 3 Comments

Older (and some wiser) people say life is a marathon. You don’t rush. You just run with a pace you can handle and reach the finish line. One has to practice, of course, and build stamina. Sure, it makes sense. Life is a long-ass, boring and sometimes exhausting journey. Sounds so much like a marathon.  … Continue reading Life as a Sprint Relay

Things We Wish We Said to Grab Drivers

On Telephone: I am sorry I don’t live in a very convenient location for you to pick up. As a matter of fact, I still live with my parents just like 96.8% of Burmese people in the country. My point is this isn’t even my place technically so you can’t really blame me for not … Continue reading Things We Wish We Said to Grab Drivers

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.
