Watch this to see what CNN Chief International Correspondence Clarissa Ward reported from Myanmar.
Defence chiefs of 12 countries condemn Myanmar army after 114 people killed in deadliest crackdown yet on protests.
“Words of condemnation or concern are frankly ringing hollow to the people of Myanmar while the military junta commits mass murder against them,” he said in a statement. “The people of Myanmar need the world’s support. Words are not enough. It is past time for robust, coordinated action.”
The junta is thought to be retaliating against the Karen National Liberation Army after its troops seized one of the regime’s hilltop outpos
Do they not supposed to use air force in civil war? Ohh, I forgot! They are not military any more, they are terrorists who shoot at hospital and innocent people.
One staff member is injured by a rubber bullet as police and soldiers chase protesters onto hospital grounds
Sunday’s breach of hospital grounds by armed forces is not the first in the junta’s ongoing crackdown against anti-dictatorship protesters. At Ahlone township’s Academy Hospital, also in Yangon, the junta’s armed forces searched patients’ rooms on the night of March 18, according to locals near the hospital.
Prior to that but also on March 18, shots were fired at windows of the women’s centre in the Shwegondaing Specialist Centre in Yangon’s Bahan township.
Soldiers and police have also set up bases inside public hospitals and schools in several cities and towns throughout Myanmar.
For every shed of blood, for every drop of tear, for every restless days and sleepless nights, for every dreadful news of loved ones, for every heartbreaks, for every guns aims at innocents, for every sound of gunshots, for every body you drop, we will make you payback! Remember actions have consequences!!!
Today we grief again!!!
Armed Forces Day unleashed the worst bloodshed yet in attacks on protesters and innocent civilians as death toll climbs to at least 429.
Myanmar’s military regime marked its Armed Forces Day on Saturday by slaughtering more than 100 people across the country, making it the bloodiest single day since the generals seized power on Feb. 1.
Myanmar security forces killed 114 people, including some children, in a brutal crackdown on pro-democracy protesters on Saturday, the blood
“Today is a day of shame for the armed forces,” Dr. Sasa, a spokesman for CRPH, an anti-junta group set up by deposed lawmakers, told an online forum.
Dozens of deaths are reported as anti-coup protesters defy warnings and take to the streets.
A one-year old girl was hit in the eye with a rubber bullet as she played on the pavement near her home in a suburb of Yangon.
A five-year-old boy in Mandalay is fighting for his life after being shot in the head by security forces.
Across the country, children are amongst the injured and the dead in the bloodiest day since the coup on the 1 February.
The killings took place on a holiday honoring the army. A dissident called it “a day of shame for the armed forces.”
The killings on Saturday took place in more than two dozen cities across the country. Many of the victims were bystanders.
At least 6 people killed in my hometown today!!!
Rest in Power brothers and sisters! We will never forget the injustices and crime against humanity by those terrorists!
Why our spring takes away the most beautiful flowers among us? Do spring must be cruel to us? Never forget this day! The day our loved ones become stars in our sky. The fallen heroes are already engraved in our heart. Never forget! Never forgive!
P.S. I heard the sound of gunshots while posting this.
I haven't been able to upload more posts coz of the nation wide cellular internet shutdown. I want to first apologize that, I may not be able to post everyday due to the cellular internet blackout (Fiber network is still available from 9:00 to 1:00 A.M) but I will update as much as I can.
As of March 23, the fatalities is more than 250 people. Many students and youths had been released from prison but many still remain detained.
Today, March 24, silent strike across the country is carried out. Although there were some debates and arguments about this silent strike the days before but it is a successful strike after all.
Thousands of people across Myanmar are staging a “silent” strike as a continued show of opposition to the ruling military junta enters its 5
Eyewitness reports say the “silent” strikes have had a big impact with the streets of Yangon and other cities practically empty save for an occasional motorist or cyclist.

The Fate of Myanmar
Today is March 17. It has exactly been 43 days since the coup.
Our lives are drastically different now, far too different from January 31st. The last night we went to sleep, with only burdens of tomorrow in our mind. Now 43 days have passed, and no one has gotten any peace of mind. Those who do, now lay eternally asleep. Over 200 people, children, humans, who each their own bright future.
The living are trying to sleep, but we can't. The cruelty and craziness of the terrorist military is affecting us all.
I will not go into the details of their crimes, their murders, of their methods to induce terror. Feel free to look up the gruesome images. The mutilated bodies are the sons of someone, the father of a newborn, the daughters of a beloved mother.
We are resisting, the people inside. And for a nation that has in many ways been divided for too long, we are all united against this common enemy. Our brothers and sisters of all ethnicities, we are fighting at the same time.
We have resilience, and all my respect go to the nameless heroes who are sacrificing their lives to save others. We are each in our own way fighting the living nightmare.
We are now packing bags, preparing for war.
We are now posting and retweeting news, hoping we reach the world.
We are praying, praying from all different religions, for peace and unity at last.
And in many, many ways we are still resisting and believing. I believe, too, that this nightmare will be over soon.
But in the upcoming days, we are going to be silenced. The voices that has been helping each other up, has helped the world know, we are going to be silenced.
They are going to silence us. The news media has all been shut down. The newspaper has been shut down. As voiceless as we had been after the 1962 power seizure, and again in the 1988 coup.
And they are going to shut down the one place you and I can meet: the internet.
They've already shut the internet in so many places. Our mouths are going to be sealed.
We've been resilient, we've continued protesting, we've continued banging pots and pans, we've been confident. And we are still confident that the terrorist is going to go down.
But while we are silenced, please pass the message of us. Please pass the message that the coup and nightmare is still not over for us Myanmar civilians. We, the people of Myanmar, are already packing bags and making calls,in fear it might be our last.
We ask for the cooperation of the international community. We ask for the cooperation of governments with the citizens of Myanmar. We ask for you to not forget the fact that this coup is still happening in Myanmar.

(Some of these news sources come from within the country, so they may be affected by internet cuts or pressure from the terrorist. A lot of reporters within the country are being arrested (even though this isn't allowed), and have become quieter. Local newspaper such as the Myanmar Times have been suspended by the terrorist.)

Sorry for late posting, the cellular networks has been cutoff since March 15 1 A.M till now. Although fiber network is able to use 6:30AM to 1 AM, the network provider(MPT) of mine had been cutoff around 7PM.
The conditions is worse than before. We are cutoff from each other and the world. More than 100 people died on 15 of March. Townships in Mandalay and Yangon are issued Martial Law.
The news are heart wrenching but people from around the country keep protesting creatively. People arranged the posters and recorded voices on the roads and parks to protest without people, some protest randomly and in random places with little group of people. Yes, days are harder but people have more grit. Yes, we lost so many people but we show courage. Yes, we lost the connectivity but we are more unite than before. Yes, the crackdowns are more violent but we have each other.
Give us back our students! It's been over two weeks the students had been arrested. Release all unlawfully arrested students unconditionally NOW!
This is the protest dashboard of March 15.
The right column is today fatality, arrested, released and injured (March 15) (Cannot confirm some death due to internet cutoff)
The left column is total fatality, arrested, released, injured.(Since February 1)
March 14
I can't even say I am sorry without feeling guilt to the people who are deceased and injured. The death toll keeps raising. We don't even have exact number of fatality yet as the violents are continuing across the country. The inhumane murders of unarmed citizen are just heart wrenching. The live streams, photos and videos of supposed "police" killing, torturing and beating the civilians are agonizing to even watch them. But I believe people of Myanmar gathered their courage watched them not because they are heartless but to remember. Remembering the pains caused by those terrorists, engraved in our hearts forever and silently vowed not to forget and forgive.
One township in Yangon, Hlaing Thar Yar had been issued Martial Law in today 10 PM news on junta's own Television Channel. As the people of Hlaing had self-defense courageously today and maybe due to Chinese Embassy issued a statement to junta. This is due to some Chinese nationalities owned factorise had been set on fire (not by the people but by those security forces) and Chinese Embassy issued a statement to junta to protect their factories and livelihood of their citizen. Also remember China always said the coup is internal affairs and urges international communities not to intervene repeatedly in both UN and their press conferences. Let me say this why are you (China) intervening now as you said it's internal affairs. Anyway I am so frustrated and biased right now so don't talk to me about anything China related.
The cities and towns are like war zone except this is the fight between armed forces and unarmed citizen. The roads are blocked about everywhere to prevent easy access to armed forces. Although it is us, citizens who have to giving up lives everyday, and those terrorists are partying for terrorizing and killing people. (Very gut wrenching to watch those videos)
The massacre is happening right now in Hlaing Township and snipers and forces are already stationed all round the city to crackdown other township uprising in Yangon. But people knows what are the risks but keep uprising in so many places now.
Today we mourn again. We mourn not only for the deads but also for the bright futures they can have if they did not die so young. Today we grief but not despair. As we know after darkness there always comes light but the question is will we be able to see it. Will we ever see tomorrow? Will we ever smile again? Will we ever remember the happy times after this uprising? One thing is for sure, today is the deadliest day for us, we will keep resisting no matter what the risk is, we will make sure those heroes did not died for nothing. We will keep fighting.
A day in Myanmar
March 13, 2021
(I don’t own the video)
Again Our Nights Are Not Safe Anymore since the beginning of the coup. We keep saying and saying that the internet blackout happened every night, our love ones being cruelly beaten, arrested and kill. Still no more help is coming our ways except words.
Have you lived in constant fear that you might get beaten and arrested even killed for no reason? Have you stayed awake at night and panic even when you hear even to a dog bark in silent night? Have you ever felt helpless when the police bang your doors because the ones who supposed to protect are the ones terrorising physical and mentally to their own citizen? These days I even jolted everytime I hear the loud sound and I am sure a lot of us are. This is how we living at night everyday since February 1.
We feel relieved when the fatalities are not as high as March 3. We feel relieved when we heard there are less injured person and violent crackdowns than the day before! But this is wrong! We are not supposed to feel relieved because police and military hurting innocents should not be tolerated. We must not feel relieved until these groups of terrorists pay for their deeds. We should be relieved only when the country and its government treat every citizen fair and just. So let's fight until we achieve our goals - Truly Federal Democratic Country.
The empowering and inspirating events at the mid of day and night violance are that many township in Yangon started Night Protests to challenge the section 144 issued since the first few days of Feb and declaring if police and military dare to violently crackdown these protests, they will face with attack such as boiling water and acid. You might say don't go violent but have you seen a Sniper shooting the head of the pass-by? have you seen the shooting spree at the peaceful protesters? have you seen the medic beaten to death? We are just merely self-defensing instead of beaten up for no reason. The things we are threatening to do (we haven't done anything actually not even fight back yet) are minor compared to those inhumane treatment by those gun-holding power hungry sadists.
Small scale peaceful protests are also happening across the city in many cities. They are easily disband and as they are protesting in their own neighborhood, the familiarity of the place provide huge advantage to the people against security forces. These are like the light from a far away hole in the pitch black.
Anyway most frustrating thing is the traitors among the people. It's like playing Among Us, but in real life. It's hard to know who are the backstabbers and who are trustworthy. If you have great ways to determine who are the deceiving idiots, leave your thoughts.
We will win this fight! Let's Keep Resisting!

How much we have to sacrifice in this peaceful uprising? How much more innocents have to die? How much more students be arrested? How much more youth to be beaten cruelly? How much more bullets and tear gas we have to see? How much more times do we have to say goodbye to our love ones? How much more terror and traumatic times do we have to experience? How much more dreams we have to give up? How much of tears and cry do we have to drop? How much more patience? How much more injustice do we have to tackle? How much more time do we have to wander in this darkness?
How much? How long?

This 12-month investigation reveals an industry far bigger than previously thought, worth up to US$31 billion in 2014 alone. That is equivalent to nearly half the GDP for the whole of Myanmar, but hardly any of the money is reaching ordinary people or state coffers.
Police officers shot into a cluster of unarmed civilians in a tiny town on Thursday, killing at least eight people and injuring more than 20
Today we grief again! The crackdown happened in many cities and towns including my hometown!
I want to honor the ones who go out to protest in spite of daily violent crackdowns and risking their lives everyday! It's their courage and commitment that we need to celebrate! To all heroes, who died, injured and come back home safely,
Thank You!
We are empowered and inspired by your actions!
Remember you all are our Heroes, our Strength and our LIGHT in this darkness!

Many Myanmar students study abroad in AIT. Even my friends study there and most of them major in Engineering. The university is well known in MOC (Ministry of Construction) as who work under that department are easily admission to their post graduate program.
The university specifically state not to protest in front of UN and embassies? Where the hell is Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Expression? Why a well known university prevent these students their rights?
