Thousands of people took to the streets of Yangon to denounce a military coup and demanded the release of elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
The protest came six days after the military seized control of the government in Myanmar and arrested its civilian leaders.

Same logo in opposition her in Philippines 😈☠️💀
Its different here and You dont know that myanmar has been under the clutches of military junta dictatorship since 1962.
And Their prime minister /president doesnt control the military, unlike ours where AFP is controlled under a civilian govt led by the president.
Myanmar ‘s army commander, is the de facto leader of the country
Aung San Suu Kyi is a useless tool. Worthless. Traitor. Sold out to the TrumpLovers.
Wow! Sounds just like the US
Stop myanmar Military Junta Dictatorship
Some could say the same happen in America
🤔 *if million/millions of people will protest together and go to the center of unwanted government, they will achieve their desired changes…*
idiot government of myanmar bullying their own people… is a real shame and corruption military…
From the U. S. I support the people’s rights in Myanmar and abroad.
@川建國特朗普是有史以来最大的玩笑，我很高兴那个家伙被推特禁止了..不再愚蠢了
Nah, you guys should worry about AIPAC first, Rothschild is controlling U.S

Hope some soldiers should support legit government and stay loyal to peoples will and their country not the hungry power Generals .
Yep..we will have one
America should be doing this! Four more years! Stop the steal
Trump lost, get over it.. snowflake
@Nick the problem is that they won’t get over it….
@lucky troll it’s ok, trumpsters are so dumb they forget to feed their children
A call from the supporters of the Rohingya genocide.
COSTA RICA ABOLISHED ITS ARMED FORCES WAYBACK 1948, BE LIKE COSTA RICA!!! MILITARY RULE IS A THREAT TO DEMOCARCY.
There is no need for a military dictator. Let the military dictatorship fall
Yep..they are humans also..go after their families and you will see the. I lit ray run like cowards
People of Myanmar should have converted Rohingyas into Buddhism
Instead of killing them… Buddha himself Never killed anyone. Killing is not the principles of Buddhism.
This would be better if they accept Islam.
@আগর what is Islam all about
Anti-slavery.
@Copper Nicus I don’t clearly understand what you are saying. Perhaps you are praising Islam. If so, very good. I give you thumbs up 😊👍.
islam is just one belief system
@Gary Graham Yes, this is the only true religion.
Watch the military’s will shoot to kill their own people..watch in few days..that is the Junta military answers to make sure fears is the norms ..watch in a few day
Fight against this tyranny myanmarese. The world is with you all
This could turn into Tinamen Square massacre, especially with China supporting the military government. I hope they stay safe and be vigilant.
Just an interesting observation, which countries neighboring China are not fxxked up? Myanmar, Afganistan, Pakistan, North Korea, Vietnam, Russia… Bad seed.
(vietnam’s not fxxked up)
@Gary Graham
I agree, not currently. I was referring to its past.
@Eugene L even then; french, japanese, americans, they always ok, and still
Remember the Rohingya genocide?
remember that this is the same military that did all those things to rohingya….not the innocent people that are living in that country…they just want their freedom back…
Yes, l remember but the culpists are currently sitting on the throne right now.
Apparently, people in Myanmar “remember” and “never supported” the Rohingya genocide, but “were silenced by the military”. Now when their own rights are at stake, they are suddenly capable of mobilizing & protesting against the same military.
@Nasiba Khan Well sorry for that. We suddenly become “strong” when the military take control “all” over the country affecting the future of country. Sorry for “lack of knowledge” of Rohingya genocide of place with few communication systems. Sorry for not to find out about Rohingya genocide information never disclosed in the first place which is in the hand by Military who are behind the country.
@Nasiba Khan you are expecting the unexpected from the powerless people to against military. Rohingya are not the only ones who suffering these things,we also do. In 1988 people of burma protested military, More than 3000 people were killed by military. Again in 2007 we protested military and thounsand of people got killed again. We have lost
more than your ever did.
STAY HOME AND STOP SPREADING COVID!!!!!!SOROS LED BIG TECH DESTABALIZATION OF THE PLANET!!!!
Now they will cut phone line as well by noon. Please help us.
@xxxdieselyyy2 Still its wrong. And to argue that the military did nothing wrong just because when you work with them they seems nice is very narrow minded.
@xxxdieselyyy2 then how do you explain us not being online and not being able to communicate with each other yesterday?We just got our phone connections and internet 6hours ago dont say stupid stuff without actually experiencing urself
@xxxdieselyyy2 Don’t you dare use the Rohingya crisis to justify this disgusting military coup. If you must know, the military were the one who attacked the Rohingya, not the NLD party. Daw Aung San Su Kyi barely had any power back then, if she went against the military, Myanmar would’ve remain under military control. FYI, if the the NLD party were the one responsible, how’d you explain why the Rohingya leader himself had condemned the military coup. Trying to justify this hideous crime isn’t a good look on you, smarty pants.
@Sane 1633 it’s thr fact tho. How come there was no crisis engineered by SPDC?
@Sther Hear I didn’t say I’m in Burma at the moment.
They could’ve deployed the military to eliminate any prospects of this
Here in the US the Democrats are trying to purge Trump voters from the Military and by doing so will have an Army that will go against the people and force socialism on the country. I hope that even the democrats in the Military are smart enough to not go against the people and will stand up to the government!
If i too were there i am sure to take part in the protest
My grandfather was also a military force but he did not earn any profit due to millitary rule
Yupp…good…and then get shot by the army and one less maggot to deal with on this planet..
Situation is changed so quickly..
Those who fight to still the democratic rights of rohingya..
Now they are fighting for their own rights..
situation has not changed at all. They were supporting the geonicide.
and now they are protesting against internete shut down. Screw these people
@Arcode code WTF did you mean. We do not support any genocide. We are protesting against the people who commit genocide. The people who stage the coup are the people who killed the rohingya. Screw us? No screw you for no supporting the effort of the people of myanmar to get their freedom back. Along the way if the people of myanmar lose then there might not be any rohingya left in the country. Try to get the whole picture dumbass.
@Sai Myanmar people have to spend more energy explaining to those idiots than trying to get the freedom back. Sometimes I wonder if these idiots have logical brain or not.
# save The military
So then she not the leader of the country 🤔. Even if she president. The Army is…
That is right. The military is the one who held strongest authority in country. Su Kyi had to make a deal with them many time to build democracy little by little in Myanmar. I feel pathetic the fact that we make 76 years old lady to shoulders such burdens. I may not know how she gain democracy and achievement in Myanmar country in the past but her determination and endeavor are remarkable as a young generation who live in carefree life.
They were so dirty when the internets were off. Someone released the fake news that Aung San Suu Kyi is released. Everyone was so happy. Fireworks and everything. Turns out it was only done to play with our emotions. Apparently they took over the cellphone network stations and are releasing fake news through messages. We even got the news of the president being dead and so on. During the day – Everyone on the streets looked so sad, on the verge of crying. Some even crying openly and no one even stared at them. It’s a very sad situation.
@Yurichtube it did not begin with the Rohingya. They have attempted the coup many times before. The 1988 coup was the bloodiest. People of Burma were bullied and starved when Burma was a socialist state before 1988.
@ILove NCT had you of Burma protected the Rohingya from the millitairy, perhaps you could have shown them the people were stronger.
@Yurichtube u think we people didn’t try? These dictators staging the coups are the same people that left the people to death after the worst cyclone in our history. Hundreds of thousands died. Then they stole the things you guys sent to these refugees and sold them to other people.
EXACTLY – You people are being well played by both sides.
FAKE NEWS FROM MILITARYS SO DISAPPOINTED TO ME I HATE THEM
ASEAN countries top leader are in discussion, the philippines would be a mediator per secretary of foreign affairs
ASEAN are getting better and united! At least we have some hope for the future of SEA.
Help myanmar…
Karma! China kicked Aljazeera, an awesome reporting station out of China! Now the UK has kicked CGTN off the air! Awesome, no more CCP propaganda! Now we need to get CGTN and all other Chinese propaganda channels banned from YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter!

“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews (Rohingya), and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew(Rohingya).
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”
Just so you know the Myanmar people arent helpless. We have each other and we will keep on fighting like we had been for many decades. We do want international help but we are not hopeful that it will come because china support the military. We are not a first world country where we can have comfortable lives and much free times where we can speak out. There are other that speaks out but if you speak out against the military then you die (check out the 8888 uprising).
just watch how the 1986 people power worked in philippines it will work in myanmar too
people power is the worst. downfall of the philippines. corrupt politicians.
Please Share This Video around the world Help us !!
LEe MM
CCP has to go no matter what
Youtuber panen content nih.
China and Russia are behind all this injustice. Please save Myanmar from abusive Myanmar Military, China and Russia.
The problem is not because of military or nld.
*The real concern is the culprit of the Rohingya genocide case is sitting on a throne now.
*We need to see our leaders with our eyes, Aung San Sukyi and U Win Myint which had been kept under military’s sleeve since Monday.
I think Burma is one of the countries that tortures dogs and poaches wildlife. Vietnam, Laos, South Korea, and China also. Protests in those countries should include that problem. It’s more important.
Where did you get that information from? I’ve never heard anything about torturing dogs.
Lock up Aung Sang Suu Kyi for good….let her rot there…
Help rohingya please
Thanks From myanmar. Please keep sharing myanmar update news for justice
Thank you
Myanmar has gone dark…❗️❗️❗️❗️
Just 6 days after Myanmar military has seized control of the country in a coup and detaining the country’s leader Aung San Suu Kyi and the democratically-elected leaders while making up charges to hold them, Myanmar has now gone dark.
First, the military stopped the use of Facebook where Myanmar civilians have been sharing news and Civil Disobedience Campaigns. Now, the military has completely shut down the internet, cutting off the country from the rest of the world.
Civil disobedience campaigns have spreaded across the country, with health professionals being at the forefront of it. Myanmar civilians are fighting peacefully for the end to military dictatorship once and for all. We are all fighting peacefully for democracy.
The pans and pots bearing campaign is still going on every night at 8 pm to show rejection to the coup. In Myanmar tradition, pots and pans are banged to drive evil from your home.
May the World know that we are resisting the coup and fighting back peacefully.
Please help Myanmar by calling your Government and your representatives to take immediate and swift actions toward these military junta.
Please share this news in FB, Instagram, wechat, Tiktok and whatever social media you can reach. Thank you.
Pray for our country, Myanmar! 🙏🏽
💪
Let me correct that title, people with rational thought fight against cruel military that robbed their government
Save Myanmar
We’re totally against military coup.
People using facebook, instagram and twitter are NOT FREE PEOPLE!!! iF EXISTING GOVERNMENT THINKS THAT GIVING SOCAL MEDIA APPS TO IT’S PEOPLE WILL FREE MYANMAR, IS JUST WRONG. THERE’S NO REAL DEMOCRACY IN THE WORLD ANYMORE. THERE’S ONLY SLAVES THINKING THAT THEY ARE FREE.

Ok for all the people talking about “Rohingya”,
Please change your name before commenting, otherwise it would seem like you only care about “Muslim people” rather than all the humans (which most of them happened to be “non-Muslim”)
I don’t want to betray or turn blind eye toward injustice like Aung San SUU KYi did toward Rohingya minority. Me being Rohingya, I stand by Myanmar people and against this crimes.
ASSK clearly has no control over the military, she is currently taken away forcefully and arrested without warrant. They are the ones behind the rohingya genocides and ASSK isn’t responsible.
@Ryi Who what about monks spreading hate
We are fighting for our Democracy in Myanmar.
that government has an history of killing people they May have killed the president
The big question is should the international community step in and take down Myanmar’s military leaders? Either way there would be consequences so better yet exhaust all possible means to resolve it internally and peacefully. Anyway true power lies in the hands of the Burmese people.
What about Egypt??
It’s all about double standards of western world
They have west loving president with 100% votes.. so popular
စစ္အာဏာက်ဆံုးပါေစ
This is like almost the marcos regime who made himself president for 20yrs and when the time comes a senator stand against him, marcos imprison the hero senator benigno aquino and it was a grueling effort for democracy, marcos let benigno go to the u.s and he wants that senator dont comeback but the urge so strong for his mother land to be free the great senator comeback even though their is a threat in his life that he will be killed when he try to set foot again in the philippines, everyone was shock when benigno came down on the airplane he was shot in the head and died instantly, then edsa revolution began the military is divided and military made a coup on the tyrant president, then everyone is wants to put the benigno’s wife to be president which who strongly defended and carriers her husband beliefs and principle then atlast we have a gain again democracy after 20yrs, I hope myanmar will have the chance to have their democracy too I pray for you guys in myanmar but remember revolting doesnt mean you need to do harm to others soldiers have hearts to and surely those soldiers who barricades you guys in the ground will every emotion peace and sympathy and strong patience not agression hasteness and doing bad to others. Be free myan mar and let them see that you are ready for that democracy now.
For freedom!
Goood/myanmar😊👍NCJ
Killing and looting during protests only happen in the USA.
Hey Third world countries, please don’t steal our protest habits!
The Democrats sure know something about coup.
Dominion voting machines, ballots being dopped off in the middle of the night, switching votes, sounds like America, oh wait
if the military did not love his people then these idotic student would have been massacred, og ahead use these students bias liberals idiots
If only they had been so concerned about the Rohingya.
Rohingyas took it upon themselves by killing security guards. Why would everyone else’s risk their lives for the problem the don’t creat while they were at gun point themselves.
Same old broken record!!!!! Im glad i escaped that country two decades ago.
Escaped and became a second class citizen in somewhere you don’t belong?
😄😎😀😃😊⚽
Red is color of communists, not “democracy”. They probably did rig the election, and now military is trying to save their homeland from vicious communists who claim to want “democracy”. Tell it right.

The military should protect it’s people these soldiers are an embarrassment and shameful
The Myanmar military should respect the constitution, what you are doing right now will hurt and bring chaos to your economy and your country. I’m from the Philippines.
