  1. While I cannot do anything practical to help, I am watching this. This is something the coup perpetrators don’t want outsiders to see, and that is why we outside need to watch. We cannot let these things go unseen, and without response.

    1. actually they showed some advancing for several years before this coup.
      Learn more and you will amazed with how burmese can do with a little freedom they had. Im sure if they had fair goverment they will give the world many good things.

    2. @Stephen Paddock Malaysia and Singapore along with all South Asia dealt the same hand as in ex English colonies, that excuse can’t be used forever.

  2. This is the same military that committed genocide, should we even expect any less?

    1. @Elissa Rose rohingya… Blah blah blah… Talk about now, no stupid please… Go and watch some good movie.. Don’t mess here just to say like tat

    2. @Aerojet Rocketdyne RS-25 Obama Biden lost Syria and Libya to Putin you remember when Putin destroyed your tax dollars

  3. The junta doesn’t care about being isolated, it’s a rich country (oil and gaz and precious stones).

  4. Military has big ego. Wants to bully on its own unarmed citizen. Military has long history of brutal oppression in the past 60 years and repeats every decade. Military has no qualm committing this horrific crime because there are no consequences. They get away with it. The result is the people Myanmar suffer from oppression. Country was making tremendous progress since under democracy, and them they have to spoil it. How can you be smiling with a gun pointing at unarmed protester and shoot him dead. Animal

    1. Funny how you also just perfectly described US government, especially alphabet agencies that harras citizens, but turn blind eye on pedophile rings within the elites.

    2. @John Doe CIA, FBI, ATF, etc. These organizations are basically terroristic (they are linked to giving aid to ISIS, AQ and giving weapons to drug cartels, as well as many other things) in nature, but somehow viewed as legitimate, despite their criminal nature.

  5. It looks as though a lot of Burmese youngsters are educated these days and that it came to a hault. People say they shouldn’t be protesting but they have said that their parents grew up with no rights and they don’t want theirs taken and would rather die than live in a barren country again run by the military and sheltered away from the rest of the world

    1. This is the best chance they got to fight for this freedom. They don’t want it to slip away while they have this opportunity. Otherwise they might live under harsh conditions for years. Just hope they don’t give up. Hope they can stay safe and get the help they need for the freedoms they so rightfully deserve.

    2. @Michael Schwartz I don’t think so. Many of those who think they are fighting for your country are a bunch of clowns, bored brats, racists, egomaniacs, fanatics, trigger addicts, lunatics and idiots like the QAnon Shaman and other wild embarassing characters. They abuse your democracy and take it for granted. They even become politicians. Equally loony are those who voted for them.

    1. @Hulk Hulk I love how this idiot just assumes literally everyone in Iran is in Al Qaeda. The american education system at work, ladies and gentlemen.

    2. @Hulk Hulk Who the hell is Biden Al Khamenei and why should I believe some random idiot on youtube who goes by “HULK HULK”?

  6. Good insights and interview.. The truth always prevails for the good civilian people of myanmar.. CNN please have this kind of news and interview for the whole world to know. Thank you.

    1. Demolition not Democracy of People’s right are on accross the world, Tyranny is the Law! Freedom n Dignity of Citizens is diminishing,Dissent for Rights will be wiped out should this trend goes on!

    2. @Name Names America is pathetic no protests, rebellions or revolutions against previous government admins or todays admin.

    1. They don’t lose too much , maybe some political power. It’s not like if the civilian government is reinstalled there will be any significant retaliation, observe the people they are protesting peacefully, it’s not like the angry mob heading off to hang Mike Pence.

    2. People who think economic sanctions aren’t bad generally assume all nations can be completely independent resource wise from other countries. It’s pretty funny, if you think about it.

  7. The same thing is currently happening in SENEGAL ! Please report this ! They have suppressed our social media. I’m using a vpn!

    1. I’m the seeing the news about Senegal on YouTube.
      I hope things don’t get as ugly as here in Myanmar.
      Stay strong, stay calm and keeping fighting for what you believe in.
      We are earthlings. We are one. No more injustice.

  8. Get to the point… Without China’s backing, the situation won’t come to this far… China is also blocking UN from helping. What has Biden done about it?…. Russian again!! ….

    1. Hahaha. Here we go another Trump Supporter lol let it go The Racist Trump is History . Let the UN deal with this situation USA has their own problem

  9. “The stone age is over and we are not afraid.”- The word for “stone” in Burmese sounds like the word for “fear”, so the song title is kind of a wordplay. It could also mean”The age of fear is over”

    1. The light is in you when you overcome fear. Not even death can defeat you because live or die you know you fought for what is right and just.

  10. To the people of Myanmar…
    Never give up:
    There is work and pain in the waiting, but it reveals your character.

    Don’t give in to fears, lies, doubts:
    The situation is heartbreaking and worrisome, but there is no meaning in fears, lies or doubts. Stay strong and believe!

    Don’t lose Hope:
    At the end of the day, we all need Hope. You all need it now more than ever. Don’t lose Hope, fight for your life, freedom and loved ones every single day.

    God’s with all of us 🙏 He will fight this battle and we will see a victory
