Myanmar / Burma in movement…, Resistance in movement…, Democracy in movement…, Peoples in movement…
As civil servants stage walkouts in protest against military rule, new groups are forming to help them meet basic needs
In the two weeks since Myanmar’s military seized power, resistance has taken many forms, from people banging pots and pans to massive street protests. But none have shown more commitment to the cause of restoring civilian rule than the tens of thousands of civil servants who have put their lives and livelihoods on the line by joining the growing civil disobedience movement.
Some in this movement have been targeted for arrest, as the regime carries out late-night arrests around the country as part of its effort to crush popular opposition to its rule. But many others are struggling with a more basic problem: meeting their material needs as they forego an income in their bid to bring down the junta.
It is in recognition of this sacrifice that new groups have begun to crop up to assist public employees in need. These groups—with names like “We Support Heroes” and “2/21 Sturdy Hands”—are trying to ensure that the regime doesn’t win by attrition what it can’t achieve through fear and intimidation.

Solidarity with the democratic movement in Myanmar!
Our weekly selection of Burmese and international news and analysis.
Protests against the 1st February coup d'etat continue to grow, and have spread to most parts of the country. A growing number of urban poor and ethnic minorities have joined the students and civil servants who were first to protest. Pro-democracy demonstrators vastly outnumber those monks and Buddhist chauvenists who try to mobilise support for the generals.
The armed forces only ceded political power to civilians in 2015. Under Aung San Suu Kyi, the National League for Democracy has tried to gradually reduce military influence, including in state-owned companies, reduce the authority of military courts, and even reduce (slightly) the massive share of the budget consumed by the armed forces. It seems that, for the generals, even this modest power sharing is too much.
Many ethnic Burmese see the current crisis as a choice between the generals and Aung San Suu Kyi, who won decisively in the November 2020 elections. But she and her National League for Democracy offered only marginal improvements in liberties, or in government funding of health and education. She identified completely with the generals’ aggressive Burmese nationalism, denying the genocide against the Rohingya, and blaming them (‘Bengali immigrants’) for their own suffering. In some of Myanmar’s other ethnic conflicts, she was even less successful than the military in establishing local ceasefires and reconciliation.
There are good chances that the mass rejection of the generals will demand more than a return to the elite power-sharing between the NLD and the military. The last few days have seen growing strikes among civil servants and health workers, and protests of middle class, small entrepreneurs, and most of all the younger ‘Generation Z’. Like their counterparts in Thailand, young Burmese are bringing courage, creativity, and technical sophistication to the protests. There is also a massive participation of the middle aged ‘Generation 88’ protesters who entered politics in the turbulent 80s and 90s.
At the same time, there are alarming reports of intensifying military violence outside Yangon, in an attempt to contain the spread of protest. In the major cities, the armed forces are using increasingly sophisticated snatch tactics and night raids to arrest activists. Both sides are learning fast. The next days may be decisive in this first round of the struggle…

Yangon – Myanmar's military regime has intensified its crackdown against anti-coup demonstrators in Mandalay as protests in the city gain momentum.
During the recent crackdowns, more than 100 protesters were injured, including 10 who were seriously hurt, according to the Kanaung Institute, a Mandalay-based NGO working to promote democracy and public participation in governance.
At 9pm on Tuesday, troops in six trucks reportedly attacked residents banging pots and pans in Chanmyathazi (...)

The uprising in Myanmar continues to grow. Will it defeat the military dictatorship this time?
“Nothing has been able to defeat Burma's military regime—so far, anyway.” This was how I opened an opinion piece written right after the previous military regime crushed the monk-led Saffron Revolution in 2007. Sadly, it still applies today, with a new military regime in power. But for how long will it be true?
The uprising's goal is the same as ever—to topple the military regime. The times, the tempo (...)

Myanmar's military regime has filed a new charge against the deposed leader Aung San Suu Kyi and shut down the internet for a second night as it tries to quell a popular revolt against the coup it launched at the beginning of the month.
The junta held its first press conference on Tuesday, seeking in part to limit the economic and diplomatic fallout of its takeover, which it described as (...)

Myanmar braced for a major crackdown on Sunday night as more troops were deployed to the cities and armored vehicles patrolled the streets of Yangon, Mandalay and Naypyitaw. When internet access shut down at around 1 a.m., reporters prepared their gear and cameras and prepared to face the inevitable. A friend sent a message: “Delete any sensitive information on your phone!” A colleague called me, whispering into the phone, “Lights are out.”
By 4 a.m., no news of a major crackdown had been (...)

YANGON – Operations at many government departments in Myanmar all but halted this week as staff refused to work for the military regime, which early this month seized power from Myanmar's democratically elected government.
Many hospitals, banks, municipal departments and other government offices have been deserted as their employees have joined the growing Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM), staying at home or urging other civil servants to join the movement by taking part in anti-coup (...)

It has become a sad ritual of life in post-coup Myanmar : scanning Facebook each night for reports – even livestreams – of the latest arrest of an activist or dissenting civil servant.
Grainy videos show armed military and police officers in the dark of night urging suspects to leave their homes, using a phrase – “kanar lite ke par”, or “please (...)

Ethnic minorities say they feel betrayed by politicians who have taken positions with the military's State Administration Council.
Since seizing power from the elected government led by Aung San Suu Kyi on February 1, Myanmar's military, known as the Tatmadaw, has been working to entice rival ethnic political parties into its new administration, in a sign of the divide-and-rule tactics it has long used to control the country.
