Protests against the coup continued in Myanmar on Wednesday with people gathering outside the embassies of Indonesia and Thailand, amid fears a flurry of diplomacy to build a regional coalition to steer a path out of the country’s political crisis could give the generals’ power grab legitimacy.
Wunna Maung Lwin, Myanmar’s military-appointed foreign minister, flew to Bangkok for talks on diplomatic efforts by the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN), a source in Thailand told the Reuters news agency.
Indonesia has been rallying support for a special ASEAN meeting on the coup, but said on Wednesday Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi, would not visit Myanmar this week.
The 10-member organisation, which Myanmar joined in 1997, has a policy of non-interference in each other’s affairs and decision by consensus.

#Myanmar #Coup
Only the people of Myanmar can decide what kind of government they want. They alone can put an end to this chaos. Any foreign intervention will only bring destruction to the country and death to its people.
Myanmar will be happy seeing other people die for them
That’s why asking military help from the whole world to fight for them, they will not die for their own country la, other people at war they will only watch like they did with ethnic minorities being killed, thay hates the minorities but the military does all dirty work keeping their hands clean and yet blame the military for the genocide, silence doesn’t make you’re right
Joko Widodo won the last election and General Subianto cried foul. FM Rento, who you support the military General and disregard the results ?
Is ASEAN so scared of evil China by not condemning the Junta?
Killings in Myanmar is sponsored by China the same as they did in Indonesia during General Sukarno’s rule.
ASEAN stand up!
BE SINCERELY TO BUILD THE COUNTRY EXCELLENCY PROSPERITY !!!
Myanmar Military Leaders is not representating the Nation of Myanmar as they overthrow the Government elected by the Myanmar Citizens.
If ASEAN sends representative to become observer then choose a representative that has no influence or connection to Myanmar Military Leaders.
ASEAN must come into term with Myanmar Military Leaders with the re-election results. If they lose, then they must accept the Election Results willingly.
Agree, clean re-election
Yeah, there should be another re-election observed by ASEAN
What if there was CHEATING? News are one sided
Exactly, that’s why I support new clean re-election again, we’ll see the new winner
Agree. The election was rigged
only brainless peole believe military junta word that they says there was cheating and without evidence they arrested our leaders. A month and we hear this voice,I am afraid if we loss in this protest may be a year later, world will think we myanmar vote military party and we all agree what they do. Re election is not needed. We have voted. Please Respect our votes.
Only two countries that always staged a coup in Asian to over throw the civilian government being elected by peoples which is Myanmar and Thailand .these mentioned countried defamed other 8 member states of asean as well as damaged the economy of asean in whole.hence in order to protect Asean image these two countries must be expelled and sanctioned by asean and all countries around the world asap
if i were a leader of ASEAN nation i will convince other ASEAN to send envoy to oust and capture Myanmar military and liberate them, purpose is to re-esablish the right and true government. there should be a treaty law in ASEAN incase a nation falls into chaos like this. there should be no Syria like status in Southeast Asia.
You’re not and it’s not happening
You have to know how ASEAN works first, ASEAN had non-intervent comitment, so the other ASEAN member couldn’t involve the other member internal problem, there is the reason why they made those comitment.
If we send envoy, let say from Indonesia or the other ASEAN, Myanmar will become battlefield. Whos gonna be the victim? The people of Myanmar it self and the soldiers from ASEAN member. Its just gonna make the situation even worst because junta will feel threaten, so they gonna start kill those innocent people too. Fear creating fear.
I know ASEAN still didn’t do efectifve movement, but i think Indonesia and Malaysia recommendation to do conference, a clean conference and discussion with ASEAN is better than war. Its a huge risk for Myanmar people.
Fight for freedom Die for freedom. Not rally. Asean cant help you.
Couldn’t agree more with you
I hope that a peaceful and practical compromise will be reached in which some form of representative government under wise and decisive leadership will serve to bring this great nation to its next step of socio political and no less, economic development.
HEROES BLOOD SPILLED DURING STRUGGLES.
I hope myanmar will be free so we can send back rohingya migrant in my country to their original place.
Though ASEAN has a non-interference policy, it must not recognize the military generals! It’s time for Democracy not military rulers anymore and longer!
Unfortunately, China supports these generals so they are fine.
Of course, the Asia can’t do anything for Human Rights as fundemantal rights, the authority of Myanmar deprived Rohingya fundemantal right as citizenship.
Yougoo Muslim in China open jailed more 1200000.00 the Asia countries silent and selfished the whole Asia countries
Thanks Aljajira
did even rich muslim countries help the fleeing rohingyans they are just talk
Clean re-election again😈😈😈
Stop trying being a hero la Indonesia or you’ll be accuse of other thing or worse will be blame of something else, these guys are crazy, asking for help, when we help thay blame us with so many accusations and the media reporting false information
I think they are paid
Or burmese tourist maybe
Dude, as indonesian let me say somethin. Its only a hoax, and they buyin it
No , indonesia government help myanmar citizens with a wrong way. That make the time of military coup more longer.
Even our country didn’t try to interfere, That’s a very fake information
Those power hungry , vicious , ruthless generals are making excuses already root them out in any goverment post to give way for a REAL democratic country.
we Bangladeshi people support military government of Myanmar
I just hope ASEAN does the right thing and respects our votes.
Clean re-election again and we will see the new winner
Stand and support for Myanmar, from Indonesia 🇮🇩
Indonesia and Asean are working together to find a solution for Myanmar’s, not support re-election 🤦 🙄
no we not supporting new election.
Hello people of Myanmar, did you realized the following ? When the brutal and vicious Myanmar Military carried out genocide on the Rohingya people they were just practicing to do the same on the rest of the people. you were silently supporting Military’s practice without realizing that it will come back to you later. You have possibly learned your lesson. Democracy means peaceful coexistence – not burning Rohingya and driving 1 million of them out of your country.
How did it come back to Myanmar later? And that’s not what democracy means for many parts of the world.
@Nuk Kun what I meant is that what brutal and vicious Myanmar Military did to Rohingya, Arakan and Kochin people you will be the next victim of Military.
OMG Why always us?
Even we didnt care about Myanmar.
Agree
In fact, Myanmar’s democracy has won. Myanmar’s military should go to exile before it’s too late or return sovereignty to the people
May equality, peace, and sharing in Myanmar. That way, Myanmar becomes a paradise.
The people of Myanmar are politely asking the military to return democratic sovereignty to the people.
If the Myanmar military does not respond, a major disaster will come to the military.
Enjoy Myanmar’s Democracy Restoration Gathering in Peace and Festive, In fact, the democracy of Myanmar people has won.
Just enjoy it peacefully like a festival. Myanmar military has failed, so please exile before it is too late.
Myanmar’s military coup was unsuccessful, so leave Myanmar, the sooner the better, the later the harder it will be.
The world is watching and it is already proven that Myanmar democracy cannot be destroyed with guns.
Myanmar democracy never collapses. Myanmar Military Flee from Myanmar, that is the only way to live.
Myanmar coupers leave Myanmar, and soon the coupers will be arrested.
wewfgrg esfgfrdg America ignore China and Russia, form UN forces to restore Myanmar’s democracy,
and arrest all the coup drivers, and execute all prisoners released by the Myanmar military for violence. wdefgrdsg
Myanmar was, Myanmar is and Myanmar always will be under military rules since 1962 ( in between the end of ww2 and 1962 as well but not legally announced) The only way Myanmar can be under 100% civilian government is, Myanmar citizens got to get weapons and fight them back. And get rid of the whole existing military. Then again, is that possible???
In my opinion, there would be bloodsheds here and there, or worst, puppet leaders after the war
Myanmar shall be remembered Juntas free your people’s liberty.
.yanmar jendralnya ky cacingan smua
As a citizen of one of the member of ASEAN which is Philippines 🇵🇭. I recognize the 2020 election in Myanmar🇲🇲. Myanmar military must recognize it because the people decided which and what leader they would like
Basically the power belongs to the people
The news is that Indonesian hoaxes have never supported a coup, it’s easy for you to believe in hoax news that is to bring down Indonesia’s good name
Then our Myanmar people are asking Indonesians to tell your Indonesian leaders to stop meeting with Myanmar generals.
@Pretentious Moose Hoax 💔
@Pretentious Moose
Asean had a treaty that Asean can’t interfere every member domestic problems,
Then what you’re expecting ?
The only ways to end this problems is only from how your own people act.
Even Indonesia ever ruled 32 years by the dictatorship military,
Then we fight until die for it, until our people captured the national representative council building in 1998
If you care ur freedom, then fight for it
Best regards bro, Hope your country getting back democracy again
The international community by discrediting Suu Kyi has allowed the Junta to fill the void. They saw it as an opportunity to wrest back power and return to the repressive ways of ten years ago and before. A lack of solidarity – a vulgar hubris by the powers that be… Oxford Uni.. Canada.. South Korea and certain groups in the US… have seen the fall from grace of Suu kyi – but more importantly undermined the transition to democracy. This reckless abandonment of solidarity and recognition of decades of effort and sacrifice – just beggar belief..
Shame on “London school of Economics” – “Oxford St Hughes College – Bob Geldoff – Amnesty international – Gwyey you human rights South korea – “Elie Wiesal awards” – US – Freedom of city award from Oxford – and those who bestowed then reneged on the Honorary Canadian Citizenship. You all have blood on your hands. You carped from the sidelines for six decades – did nothing – then jumped on the bandwagon when Suu Kyi put Burma on the international map… then abandoned her whilst she was trying to work from within and transition Burma to democracy.

Wow she is beautiful
stop say indonesia demand re-election…
you guys just read some “false news” on internet T.T
Yesterday Indonesia Foreign minister make a secret date with military representative in Bankgok, Thailand. If she want to discuss, she can do it with myanmar legal council CRPH which represents Myanmar people voice. I don’ t know why she meet with junta. The image she show is not positives one and on top of that the rumors about demand re election is still there.
It was deffinetely the Junta fault! They’re spreading fake news to make sure the protester forget about them!
Indonesia is a democratic nation. So it’s ridiculous if they support the Junta.
Some members of ASEAN must first clear with China. Reason why often, the difficulty coming up with one clear voice because those members aren’t as free. Myanmar coup is the latest whereby ASEAN has yet to condemn the coup.
🤣
Gangster generals.
Myanmar people voice should be listen by Myanmar officials.
In My opinion ASEAN Will soon release its force to regain democracy if this situation might get out of hand. Indonesia Thailand and Philippines must help to regain democracy in Myanmar
Zzzzzzz
HAHAHAHAHA NOW THAT’S A COMEDY, PROTESTING AGAINST OPPRESSIVE REGIME IN FRONT OF INDONESIAN EMBASSY, GOLD!! Well i gues Mr Marty Natalegawa interview on CNA created this false pretense on what our current government and society thinks about totalitarian regime. Mr General be more subtle, seriously you can be oppressive and be loved by majorities at the same time.
Americas intervention is needed,but bidens too busy being a good doggy. And “great” britain has an opportune moment to right the wrongs of last century, ggod time to get involved and come out with a trade deal,cheap labour,raw materials surrogate farming, plenty of benefits available wouldnt you agree.
Civilian control for the Military is very important
Good governance make must Myanmar army than better ong san suchi

At this point a secure and fair reelection might be a good solution. Think about it we’re facing rapids when trying to fight our way out of this. If this re-election is monitored carefully and the baseline is properly inspected by independent oversight committees perhaps even with ASEAN representatives at the table, there really isn’t much to argue on. If there is no voter fraud, the results will be the same so that’s a win. If there is an independent oversight, it cannot be rigged and any vote will be respected so that’s also a win. We are already in this mess the safest way out is through this re-election rather than futilely walking through the cities endangering yourself when the other person is probably just chilling and wearing a noise cancelling headphones. Preaching to the choir is not a good solution. This however is one. Because it’s going to be monitored and aided by ASEAN, we might have independent overseers and inspectors to ensure a free and fair re-election, the results will speak for themselves. If it doesn’t work then it just can’t be helped can it, but if that happens tho THEN we have a much better justification to keep fighting and cause a bigger ruckus. THEN we can use the flawed Constitution against them. Oppression must be done with discretion, they cannot hide behind a re-election facade after ASEAN helps us hold a re-election. So let’s prepare for that battle rather this. We need to fight policy with policy, law with law, votes with votes, election with election, constitution clauses with constitution clauses. We cannot be in the wrong arena because our opponent is not there.
No loss no gain
where were this people(who are protesting) when millions of Rohingya people were tortured & Murdered brutally by their armi and govt.??
Pls don’t blame other people while they are in trouble. I feel like its a shame. There can be another rohingya case can happen if the military keeps ruling them. And rohingya cases happened when military rule the country. Military hide the news to other civilians.
Why didn’t you come to Myanmar and protest against the military
ကိုရီးယားသည်မြန်မာနိုင်ငံသားများကိုထောက်ခံသည်။
koreeyarr sai myanmarninengansarrmyarr ko htouthkan sai !
Soldiers should protect their people, not their own power.
The military wThe military will take great responsibility for its fault. Freedom to the citizens of Myanmar. The Koreans are with you
President widodo never says re-election. It was spread by rumour-mongering again. It was the people who think a peaceful solution to re-election. You are falling into deeper pithole again. Asean leaders wash hand since you are so adamantly righteous to dealing 400,000 strength armies to re-instate Nov.2020.
Junta cronies…max myanmar, loi hein, asiaaworld, htoo group, many more…
Cheer up people! Now You make your own history! Respect from S.korea.
Seize them,put them on trashcan,garbage bin,in jail
Well, bargain with military government?! no… actually is CCP, why?! Just like north Korean nuclear and missile fire launch!!! Who can stop him (China CCP) through bargain to benefit. Oil transport!!! through Myanmar city into China.
งามหน้าล่ะมึงไอ่ยุดเอ๋ยย…
แต่ตอนนี้ประยุทธ์มาจากการเลือกตั้งนะครับ
ใครตั้งครับท่าน.. เลือกตั้งหรือว่าลากตั้ง???
One last hope, another one million protestors protest the protest to *Re-election* again. Re-election is beneficial for you with U.N present.
99% voters vote for one political party only. Ofcourse, 99% voters not for USDP. Left 1% for USDP for democracy purpose to serving as opposition political party in the parliament only. Besides, this group of illusion protestors to re-instate Nov.2020 is very small group, estimate 300 protestors only. You need and must have a landslide victory, by hook or by crook to take back control from armies, sack the current generals and re-visit the constitutional laws.
Who will pay the debt when military government access CCP decision or contract?! I guess is people in Burma
Think about China one belt one road, what happen in Ceilão (Sri Lanka)?! Hambantota port
Military government ignore people decision like before. So debt will come and who’s pocket grow up?! Military government & China not the people.
Why did the United States, the European Union and the United Nations not send troops to help the people of Burma as soon as possible?
why do they have to do that?
@Anomali Anomali Because it’s America 🇺🇸, they’re known for policing the world.
karma strike back!!
Lady Su Kyi helped the killing of Rohingya people. She is not for humanity.
Confusing report
Thank you so much AL🙏👏
for spreading our truth voices. ..
Myammar is a failed nation… killing its own citizens because they have a different belief…
မြန်မာနိုင်ငံကိုဝန်းရံပေးပါကျေးဇူးပြုပြီးဝန်းရံပေးကြပါ
Asean is not a military pact unlike EU …. ASEAN is mainly economic development pact. And theres no rule that Asean will intervene internal affairs
As an Indonesian i am support for the legal result of Myanmar election 2020.. 😊👍🇮🇩🇲🇲
Please respect our voted in 2020, we cann’t need the new election and accept the military coup.
When asean acknowledge no rohingya genocide already a disgrace. I dun even dare look at God in temple face to face (sinful)
It’s similar to indonesia in 1965. They need 30 years to overthrown the military in 1998. A lot of life lost.
Dont believe hoax information from router media…God bless Myanmar…
DO NOT GET INVOLVED ASIAN….ITS…TOO EARLY IN THE GAME…BE SMART..
Thailand-Myanmar same same
แต่ไทยเจริญกว่า
Qatar is a dictatorship and Violation of human rights no different.
Darkness cannot beat light
Should ban protest not relating to host countries
Support for people of Myanmar 🇲🇲
There are two functions in our country one is the military and the other is the NLD so we oppose interference from other countries
they realised Beijing is the one pulling the strings on ASEAN right? This is why multilateralism in SEA is limited to just “meet and greet” because no one would dare to interfere with domestic things, no matter how heinous.
Myanmar learn coup from Thailand
Excuse me Sir/Madam
Are you saved?
If you died tonight are you going to heaven?

How come Myanmar people never want ASEAN involvement when Rohingas got massacred? How can others stand by you, when you don’t stand by your own citizens?

THAT’S A HOAX, Indonesia overthrew the militaristic government of Suharto in 1998, just wait for Indonesia’s role, we will soon come to meet you!
These military men and policemen attacking their own citizens, are Buddhist. Aren’t they worried about karma?
So the people want their current goverment before the coup. Should the world must recognize it. Its the people must poll if they want election or not.
This media has zero shame what’s going on in your country.
У нас мало говорят о событиях в Бирме, но есть какое то ощущение, если запад не поддерживает, то генералы делают правильно. Хотя всё может быть.
Let’s Hope Rohingyas are safely able to come back to Mayanmar…may peace ☮️ and Stability prevail in Mayanmar…❤️ 🇮🇳
What is democracy if people has no shelter and food. Who will lead the flock if the herder is weak. This is what happen to Philippines When a woman rule the country supported by USA and paid media outlet. We gain total democracy but we lose control of our water and electricity she sell them off to private firms. Everything she did is a mess. We Suffer from extreme poverty. Her action scarred out country until now the messy constitution and laws that she passed was still making our country in desperation.
Thailand support Junta coup Myanmar gov. For that Prayout don’t wants quit his Gov. job.

Hire those black water thugs to assassinate the military coup leaders
Avengers had taught us to cut of the hydra heads. President Erdogan Turkey did that
