At least 26 killed and a thousand injured across Myanmar today. Our thoughts are with those killed and injured during today’s violent crackdown.The excessive use of force and other violations committed by the Military Junta are being recorded and they will be held accountable.
There is no reason to negotiate. Earlier, Our Leader handed over power to the people after negotiating not to betray the people through illegal acts. Do not come to negotiations. Let us eradicate the idea of a coup d'etat with weapons.
