Myanmar is up in arms with the slogan ‘I don’t want a military dictatorship, I want democracy’. In the country’s largest city, Yangon, on Sunday morning (February 8th), after the country’s internet service was cut off, the general public started an anti-junta movement.

In addition to Al-Jazeera, other international media outlets have reported that people from all walks of life, including teachers and students, have been chanting slogans against the military government since morning.

Protesters have demanded the release of Aung San Suu Kyi and called on the military government to step down. They carried red balloons and chanted slogans for Suu Kyi’s party, the National League for Democracy-ALD.

“We will continue to fight until the fall of the military government and the establishment of democracy,” said Mayo Win, a 38-year-old activist.

Myanmar’s internet service has been shut down since Saturday. The people are blowing in it, the anti-junta protests are getting stronger day by day. University students were seen walking peacefully with flowers in hand.

No violence has been reported so far. The army and police have already taken position on the road. The security forces also turned the procession from some places. However, they were not seen to be on the rise.

The military government’s shutdown of internet services in Myanmar, including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, has drawn worldwide condemnation. Human rights group Amnesty International has called the shutdown a “disgusting and reckless” decision.
