More villages reported burned and bombed by Myanmar's junta. The earthquake brought brief international attention. The long term disaster shows no sign of stopping. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar#MyanmarEarthquake
@LeongWaiKitCNA Even Al Jazeera reporter who’s on the ground in Mandalay said Myanmar Junta soldiers are pretending to help, but with zero efforts holding sub machine guns.
Myanmar’s junta is still bombing in spite of a devastating earthquake and a ceasefire announced by some opponents in the face of the disaster, reports @IrrawaddyNews. Air raids even took place near the epicentre as well as northern Shan State, it said. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

Myanmar & India shared the same history & struggle under the British Colony. We fought for freedom.
But Myanmar isn't free yet. #Myanmar is now under a military men's aggressive & illegitimate occupation.
🇮🇳 must RESPECT Myanmar's Freedom Movement.👇
It would be a lot more “peaceful” if @ASEAN would stand with the people of #Myanmar, recognize @NUGMyanmar, and impose an arms embargo and targeted sanctions on the illegitimate & illegal military junta.

Ambassador @KyawTun62907405 remains the UN representative of a free people. Lets make 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣3️⃣ the year the world recognises @NUGMyanmar as the legitimate govt of #Myanmar & holds the criminal military junta accountable for crimes against humanity.
