    Myanmar, AKA Burma, has been has been in conflict since before WW2. There is a large ethnic minority, and the majority wants to ‘keep them in their place’. Much like the US.

    A few too many parallels to a few of our southern states.

    That looks like the same snake the Republicans took in thinking it wouldn’t bite them . . . it did and the venom is slowing killing them.

    The regime in Myanmar is murdering defenseless protesters. So little regard for peoples lives. Where’s room for negotiation? Where’s room for compromise? Hey Georgia! You listening? Wanna be like Myanmar? NOT IN THESE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Maybe we should move that border fence around Georgia.

    Myanmar Security Forces Kill More Than 80 Anti-Coup Protesters, Reports Say

    The military takeover in Myanmar continues to have deadly consequences for civilians who openly oppose the February 1 coup. In Bago on Friday, security forces killed 82 people, the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners told CBS News.

    As of Friday, AAPP, which has been tracking incidents and fatalities, reports that at least 618 people, including at least 48 children, have been killed by the junta in the little more than two months since the military took over. One of the deadliest days occurred just two weeks ago on the 76th annual Armed Forces Day. While many military members celebrated the day, other security forces unleashed what the European Union Delegation to Myanmar called a “day of terror and dishonour,” killing at least 107 people, many of whom oppose the takeover.

    In a briefing published on Friday, the Burma-based group said security forces used assault rifles, heavy weaponry and hand grenades during a confrontation with protesters early Friday morning.

    The United Nations in Myanmar supported the claim, saying that “heavy artillery” was used against civilians, who were then denied medical treatment.
