Quite a high ranking general (A-1 level) died during the June 22 shootout in Mandalay. Apparently, he entered the compound thinking the people inside were just armless protestors in hiding, not PDF members. A total of 3 died from #SAC side.

Yup, let that sink in @UN.
There’s a saying in Myanmar “still wearing the flower” which means one is still fine and still beautiful and not being affected. Myanmar protesters are staging flowers strike intended for state counselor Aung San Suu Kyi’s birthday.

“We never expected having to abandon our homes and businesses. On the day we fled Mindat, we struggled to give each other encouragement. It was difficult not to cry out,” said Mai Honey Nway, who is now in an IDP camp. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar https://t.co/rsYirPyn9U
False optimism had plagued Burmese society for generations but current coup has opened the eyes of 54millions people. “We are responsible for our own liberation and we have to fight for our own freedom.”
#OperationViberForMyanmar (1/4)
SAC Junta newspaper announced a list of phone numbers to report the public social punishments. It includes viber numbers. I have extracted out all the District Police Offices’ viber numbers number and list them in this thread for your convenience.
Workers were driven back to Yangon by a lack of jobs in the countryside, but many are struggling to find new work and to meet the expenses of living in the city, raising the prospect of hunger and further waves of displacement.

The most heart breaking thing about this coup is seeing people around you and your loved ones getting their dreams crushed. Futures being taken away is an understatement. They've lost their way. Entire lives upside down. And there's only so little you can do for them.
A "failed state" in Myanmar won't fail for everyone: some of biggest winners of current crisis likely to be the transnational criminal networks who already have multi-billion dollar stakes in the country and will now almost certainly spread their wings. https://t.co/dgsoP2vLvc
MWD broadcasted the photos of youths arrested in Yankin during Sat night and Sunday dawn raids . Their faces obviously state the fact that they are tortured. These youths are still in their teens or at most in their early 20s. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar#Apr18Coup
Myanmar celebrity @maytoekhine who was warranted a few days ago had been arrested by Junta military. She is just a #Myanmar citizen voicing her rights on social media platforms. We, citizens of Myanmar, are not safe anymore.

#Myanmar protestors on a mural in #Idlib. Syrians know well what it means when the military bombs civilians, cracks down on protestors, & targets humanitarians & health workers. When the world is silent in the face of all of that.
