Myanmar security forces have opened fire on people gathered for the funeral of one of the 114 people killed on Saturday in the bloodiest day since the February 1 coup, as the defence chiefs of 12 countries condemned the military for its crackdown on demonstrators.
There were no immediate reports of casualties in the shooting at the funeral on Sunday in the town of Bago, near the commercial capital, Yangon, according to three people who spoke to Reuters news agency.
Two people were killed in firing on protests on Sunday in separate incidents elsewhere, witnesses and news reports said.
One person was killed when troops opened fire overnight on a group of protesters near the capital Naypyidaw, Myanmar Now news reported.
So far on Sunday, there were no reports of large-scale protests in Yangon or in the country’s second city, Mandalay, which bore the brunt of the casualties on Saturday.
At least six children between the ages of 10 and 16 were among those killed on Saturday, according to news reports and witnesses.

#Myanmar #MyanmarCoup #MyanmarCrackdown
It’s time to arms up and fire back
There is no point of letting these morons enjoy their killing
People of Myanmar, take the matter into your hands
China sold all these weapon to Myanmar Military
@Ho Tom The United States sells weapons to the Whole world. Why don’t they sell weapons to Myanmar?
@God bless The world we are human First of all, US has numbers of arms embargo, examples are African Republic, Congo, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Lebanon, Somalia, Sudan. So, your statement is incorrect.
Such embargo is to prevent inflict violence on innocent people or resolve an armed conflict or signal disapproval to dictators.
@God bless The world we are human Another famous example is the US and the EU stopped exporting arms to China after 1989 as a sanction of violent suppression of protests in Tiananmen Square killing lots of Professors, Students and Teachers.
@Ho Tom Are you Burmese?
@God bless The world we are human no, but I have about 10 Burmese Friends that I can get first-hand info
Those evil, inhuman , slimy soldiers should be get the same dish they handed out.
dont afraid to die true heroes people of myanmar performed dealiest suicide attack to the large number of military junta personel
Wow
May god save rohingya
Oh god. This is so sick. I do not believe in a god, but sometimes I so, so, just so badly wish a just God did exist so that horrible things like this would not happen. I hope things get better, this should not be happening.
So Covid is not a problem in Myanmar ??
Remember the protest by Myanmar people against the military committing genocide to the Rohingya? That never happened…they protested in support of the military. Now they get only a tiny taste what the Rohingya experienced. I don’t feel bad for any of them.
The Founding Fathers of the US were right. Applies to every country.
This is Pol Pot type repression.
This is becoming ridiculous.. absolutely ridiculous.
The world is making it worse with how incapable in dealing with bullies.
It’s just insane how people are being outright murdered by their own military.
Dis is 21st century and dis is youth world.
the army would never be forgiven !
Myanmar- Save us.
UN & US- Sorry you don’t have oil.
Nld are the real terrorist s to the people of Myanmar…
Please don’t spin the truth…
Is aljezeera also fake news???
Dispicable Military
Just heartbreaking , sending my thought and condolences to the people of Myanmar. The brutality and inhumanity of the military response is shocking.
Malditos sean los militares asesinos de la dictadura de Myanmar, ojalá el pueblo pueda hacer justicia y terminen como Mussolini colgados en la plaza pública como se lo merecen.
UN should act NOW!!
Democratic forces must surround China, Russia via Burma. India should be ready as a BIG war is coming.
Burma must become a part of India again.
Burmese people will only be safe then.
NATO help these people !!!!!!!!!!!
Well military n police cannot step down now..if they surrender..majority of them will be bring to court even death penalty, so they must carry on and become communist like north Korea.. with prc support, the sanction not really matter
😔😔😔🙏🙏
If this military gets nuclear weapons the world will be very sorry!
I could recall the massive migration of rohingyans now….. So sad
“Kingdom will rise against Kingdom”.
UN IS HOPELESS,WHERE IS THE HUMAN RIGHTS 😠
God is great justice, Remember Rohingya people.
Do you think? that they are peaceful strikers?
Protesrers should armed themselces against the armies, enough is enough….
Stop protesting you only use by your leaders and organizer to push their own agenda.
sad
💔😭 Love and prayers for the people of Myanmar. I was there until September of last year.
This is what trump supporters want in America. A fascist country. They don’t know what they’re signing themselves up for.
Yes! Their ignorance knows no end, they destroy our country out of pride and blindness not seeing where their own lies could lead them.
U wanted power, u buy your citizens with care, n love
Not murdered, this is pure dumb coup leader n his army
I am speechless to think that people can be so cruel to one another. Is this how YOU want to be remembered. YOU disgust me! what’s worse is that YOU think YOU can get away with it too. Well guess what you Can’t! cause karma is coming in hot to rip your limbs off.
this is happened by the psychopath junta.
i bet they wanna be 2nd Nort Korea and as big as China.
frankly, the junta forgets that they are not both countries.
*let us watching Myanmar is sinking day by day along with UN popcorn.
It seems these militaries won’t stop firing the civilians..
They are not animals,they have rights to protests against them not to fire them.
So we now see China and Russia showing their true colors after they showed their support for the coup and the murder of hundreds of innocent people. THE PEOPLE OF MYANMAR SHOULD NEVER FORGET THIS. You are Brave Myanmar. The Free world is watching in awe of your resistance against this coup and is inspired by your resolve to reclaim your freedom and your democracy. Freedom is never free. Sadly it must be fought for perpetually. There will always be the Communists on the Far Left and the Fascists on the Far Right trying to take your freedom. If either side succeeds freedom will most assuredly die as neither the yoke of Communism nor the Iron grip of Fascism will ever allow democracy or freedom to return. Organize your resistance as the French did in WW2. Make the cost of maintaining communist rule too high. The communists have watched quietly as democracy built your beautiful country. Now they want to take it from you. If necessary let them rule over a wasteland. Never stop fighting for if you do your future will be as bleak as North Korea where death is more attractive than life. Better to live free in an embattled wasteland then to merely exist in the oppressed, cold, sterile and lifeless world of a police state under a communist dictatorship. Your FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY loving brothers around the world are praying for you.
ဘုရားသခင်သည်သင်တို့နှင့်အတူရှိတော်မူပါစေသေ
Where is John Rambo when you need him
Zombie Vs Peace Souldier.
Wtf is UN doing
India pls send help 🙏😭
I hope the parents of these soldiers are proud of them.
Parents of these soldiers probably getting killed by their children’s comrades.
@L Maybe your right. How can these soldiers go home and be proud?
Their military is an embarrassment to their country
Shame on military coup there is no place for them
Why the world leaders are not taking action against the Myanmar army actions.its too much, need to do something at the earliest.
They supported military and other terrorist groups when rohingya were being killed. Now the same is happening to them. We have no feeling for these Burmese.
Very sad 😢🙏.
That’s why I don’t read comments in Al Jazeera, too many negative comments from people practicing the so called “peaceful religion”.
I hate this Military action.. But What to do the same Happened with Rohingya…. Even more Brutal…
Can’t imagine the kind of doping level army men have from their generals…
I’m sad to see this… But plz say did you ever feel the pain of rohingiya. Did you condem mass killing
GOD BLESSED ROHINGYAS! WITH LOVE FROM AFRICA…
So where’s the news about workers building the world cup stadiums dying by the thousands?
Killed women and children of Rohingyas, this nothing!
“Russia and Chinna assisting them”, what a daring words, but some how quite believable…
It’s karma ! when military was killing innocent Rohingyas, burning their houses-myanmar people were quiet then, GOD is the best planner.
Very good job by army
We are not feeling sorry for u
The way she screams on that glass. She knew cameras were around. And i come from this kind of culture.
Whoever you are… that’s just plain heartless that’s the mother of the deceased?are you implying that she is grieving just because there are cameras around? imagine your mother doing the same over your dead body and somebody speak of it that way…you must be real proud of your damned culture!
Weapons not peaceful protest would bring democracy to Myanmar
Min Aung Hlaing members Chinese russia communist behaviour is look like Vampire Drancula , they already sucking so many blood body in around the world so
Just dissolve UN. UN is failed. China is feeding Myanmar Junta. Do the world dare to take action on China?? Of course no. Now half of the world is depend on China. Even today Myanmar Junta raping in front of the world but the world won’t dare to take action on Myanmar. Because of China.
UN is Chaina and China is UN don’t expect any help in a nut shell you are on your own
Military=militant in Myanmar
This army general is going to face capital punishment sooner or later.
So sad to see people being killed ruthlessly. Poor people loosing their lives ,while powerful struggle to oust esch other from hot seat of power.
Today plight of Myanmari people rrminds me of the similar plight of poor Rhongiya people ,who suffered at hands of this millitary junta in collobration with the gang of Su kyi . Natures law is at its play.
AS YOU SOW ,SO SHALL YOU REAP.
Guess who I’ve found exploiting Myanmars oil reserves? Western Colonial Australia Woodside Energy, USA’s Chevron Corporation and France’s Total S.A Energy Company.
“WESTERN ATROCIOUS NEOCOLONIALISM DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM…..AT A PRICE”
The UN is failing.
Soon it will be a failure like the league of nations and a 3rd world war involving nuclear powers shall dawn upon us
Nice Propaganda for western interest …
meow
One solution. attack on police and army family. then they will get fear to kill people. because a country can’t protect each soldier or police family.
The country army is not to killed own country people, but to protect the own country people, but the 🇲🇲Myanmar’s army it’s shameful to called you an country army..
WHAT ABOUT ROHINGYA THEIR HOMES AND LANDS WERE LOOTED AND INNOCENT MEN WOMEN AND CHILDREN WERE MASSACRED
Now they know what the roghinya is feeling these last decades…. So what does it feel to you now to be chased killed for no reason?
Why do they keep saying rubber bullets? People are being murdered.
USA and UN not enforcing their “freedom” b’coz there is no oil for profit smh
This people laugh a lot when Myanmar army barn and torture rohingya people..
human killing humans , forever ever, greed power destruction should not be in your minds, seek peace elsewhere
Karma is a b
Diplomacy has failed.
If only they had oil, maybe the world would care
Please save the lives of Myanmar people
Oh my goodness! Poor thing 🙏💋
God have mercy. Rest in peace 😇❤
It’s brilliant that the UK and US had implemented an arms embargo and sanctions on the crazed Burmese military but its quite frankly disgusting that no other country put sanctions on the Burmese military when Rohingya families were being massacred by them a few years ago.
same Rohinya
Very strong people. Africans would have quit a long time ago.
Did I see that right, they are moving a body in the front bucket of that digger???
That is not the flag of NLD it is called students Union flag
This is evidence that the only reason why the West invaded Libya was for its oil. We were told it was to save the lives of civilians apparently being killed by Gaddafi. If that’s the case, why haven’t they entered Myanmar?????
114 death will not give world attention, look at how many Jews death in WWII or Cambodia Genocide then world reaction. UN wont do anything about it.
Military coup but the policemen are doing the dirty jobs for the army . That’s why the police wants to settle this fast and started killing innocent people
Just say you have oils and you’ll have the UN and the western nations in your doorstep.
These brave people are still protesting regardless of all of this!! Wow.💪
What about the people in Bahrain who wanted freedom and democracy?
UN should send the UN Peace Keeping Force to Myanmar.
