From Invisible Boxes to Unreadable Squiggles

October 4, 2019 ~ mohingaamatters ~ Leave a comment

For the last decade, change has been one of the most common descriptions of Myanmar. Expats and tourists alike always talked about how much Myanmar has changed since the last time they have visited. Us locals talk of things we didn’t have a few years back. From cheap sim cards and decent usable Internet connection … Continue reading From Invisible Boxes to Unreadable Squiggles

Although the devil did its worst to scare off people with the use of sound bombs and live ammo in many townships of Yangon until late last night, thousands came out and marched on in various regions of the country today. Many including men dressed up in women sarongs in honour of international women day and to defy both dictatorship and outdated gender discrimination norms.
Reporting from Day 35 of living under illegal Myanmar military coup. 
When Dr Sa Sa officially requested Responsibility to Protect (R2P) to UN Security Council a couple of nights ago, most of us almost punched in the air in the celebratory mode as if drones and fighter aircrafts were about a few hours away of saving our beautiful land from putschists. Sadly it’s not how UN works.
Large protests are ongoing defiantly across the country. The military thugs have been using less live ammo to protesting crowds in 2 days since the carnage on Wednesday, and the death toll is increasing only marginally. We don’t know how long this will continue, but the thought of people’s lives being spared only because something a complete taboo is being halted made us fill with disgust.
Every time the armed group used excessive forces resulting in several deaths, protesters came out even stronger the next day. The number of fallen heroes varies from different news reports but the protesters make sure that the lives lost do not go wasted by going out in the streets in various parts of the country.
Today marks another day of extreme bloodshed again in our 31 day-history of resistance against the 2021 coup.
