Today, we sadly mark the fifth anniversary of the coup perpetrated by the junta in Myanmar.
Five years of stolen democracy, respect for the rule of law; five years of indescribable violence against innocent citizens.
@Europarl_EN stands with the people of Myanmar 🇲🇲
When Guns Crushed Democracy
Five years ago today, the military seized power from the elected NLD, plunging the country into another era of war and chaos.
Maduro was a dictator.
But let's not pretend Trump cares about democracy.
He cozies up to dictators all over the world when it suits him.
Trump has been clear: he wants Venezuela’s oil.
That’s not democracy. That’s imperialism.
The first Nobel peace price was awarded December 10, 1901.
In all these 124 years they have never had to issue a statement that a Nobel prize cannot be revoked, shared, or transferred, until a corrupt, demented circus clown took office.
In June, Donald Trump announced a visa ban on Myanmar. The #EU Member States and Accademia, should jump to the opportunity of welcoming more students from Myanmar. They are exceptionally motivated and hardworking. https://t.co/bLpl6bqmPu
If you are covering about Myanmar earthquake, make sure people know that the junta is bombing NaungCho (a town in Mandalay region).
We need to finish this despicable junta.
THEY ARE BOMBING PEOPLE WHEN THE EARTHQUAKE IS HAPPENING.
No exaggeration. Just facts.
The death toll from Myanmar’s earthquake could be between 10,000 and 100,000, the United States Geological Survey estimated. (Photo: A stream of casualties were rushed to the hospital in Naypyitaw on Mar. 28)

#Myanmar 4 Years of Airstrikes on Civilians
Since the 2021 coup:
4,000+ airstrikes — avg. 3 per day
1,280+ civilians killed
61 children killed in 2024 alone
174 schools & universities hit
Hospitals bombed, patients and medics under fire.
A heartbreaking loss. A true hero silenced.
A CDM medical doctor from the 12/2001 intake, University of Medicine, Magway (UMMG) was killed in a junta airstrike while providing healthcare during clinic hours.
He died alongside his pregnant wife, a nurse, and their young son.
@NigelSheppard12@TheBritLad Those Muslim like Kuwait or Omen countries don’t accept them. They just infest others like cancer using population as a weapon.
Trump’s second term is already exposing a reality that's been hidden from many Americans: the raw, stinking power of the American oligarchy.
I’m hopeful that America will see this reality for what it is and respond to it.
@NigelSheppard12 @GoldingBF Happy holiday!!! That was awful. I'm not a Christian but I grew up in a place with many Karen Christians in Myanmar. We always enjoyed the time of year and celebrated together. Now Europe is not free to say "Merry Christmas".
This is utterly repulsive!
Trump and Vance just tried to humiliate Zelensky live on American TV, smugly demanding gratitude while openly mocking him like playground bullies counting favors. My respect for Zelensky—and my embarrassment as an American—just surged off the charts. I’m beyond disgusted!”
This isn’t a joke—Trump and MAGA are openly pushing for his dictatorship.
At CPAC, where Trump is set to speak, MAGA activists launched the “Third Term Project,” comparing him to Julius Caesar and calling to keep him in power beyond 2028.
Musk: "What are Ukrainians dying for? What exactly are they dying for?"
Their homes.
Their freedom.
Their autonomy.
Their prosperity.
Their speech.
Their future.
What are you fighting for, @elonmusk?
More money, power, and racist jokes on X?
