We haven’t seen this level of stupidity and obsession in a long time.
Myanmar military thinks they can get away with the coup d'etat. We are proving them wrong and we need assistance from the international community in doing that. No Selling Arms to SAC #GlobalArmsEmbargo No recognition of SAC whatsoever #RejectSAC
On the day of the coup, two military officials came to President U Win Myint and asked him to resign "for health reasons". They threatened him that he would personally be "in danger" if he refused to resign. The President replied he would not resign even if it meant death.
Min Aung Hlaing and his associates including the judges will be tried with treason. President U Win Myint is still our legitimate president according to both international and domestic laws. It's an act of treason to arrest the President.
People’s Soldiers, the CDM soldiers who have joined the people’s side, declare that Min Aung Hlaing committed treason and should no longer be regarded as ‘Commander-in-chief’ of Myanmar army. @peoplesoldiers #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar
Min Aung Hlaing is no longer the Commander-in-chief of Myanmar army - declare soldiers who have joined the people’s side and democracy movement. @peoplesoldiers
“You can kill me. I won’t resign.” -President U Win Myint
Thank you @ASEAN. You made the right decision not to invite treasoner-in-chief Min Aung Hlaing. He committed treason against the country and he is a terrorist. He doesn’t deserve to be sitting at the ASEAN meeting.
Once again, thank you Madam @Menlu_RI and thank you people of Indonesia. 🙏 twitter.com/Menlu_RI/statu…
အာဆီယံဟာ မြန်မာပြည်သူတွေရဲ့ မရပ်မနားတောင်းဆိုဖိအားပေးမှုကြောင့် ထိရောက်တဲ့ တိုးတက်မှုမရှိသရွေ့ မင်းအောင်လှိုင်ကို မဖိတ်ဖို့ ဆုံးဖြတ်ချက်ချခဲ့ပါတယ်။ မြန်မာပြည်သူတွေရဲ့ သံတမန်ရေးရာ အောင်ပွဲတခုပါ။
This is the best decision @ASEAN ever made with regards to Myanmar.
မင်းအောင်လှိုင်ကို မဖိတ်ဖို့ အာဆီယံက ဆုံးဖြတ်တာကို ကြိုဆိုကြောင်း တွစ်တာမှာ လာပြီး ဆန္ဒဖော်ပြကြဖို့ ဖိတ်ခေါ်ပါတယ်။ မြန်မာပြည်သူတွေရဲ့ အသံကို အာဆီယံနဲ့ နိုင်ငံတကာ ပိုပြီး ကြားသိအောင်လို့ပါ။
Thank you @teamsecret. We are rooting for your success in TI10. Come on! twitter.com/teamsecret/sta…
Bloody but unbowed. Welcome back heroes.
“The junta seeks three things from the Int’l community: money, weapons and legitimacy. Sustained pressure on all three fronts is the best way the Int’l community can support the people of Myanmar..” says @RapporteurUn
Our people were unlawfully unfairly and unjustly arrested. SAC must release all political prisoners and be held full accountability for all the human sufferings they have caused.
All SAC wants from international community and ASEAN is ‘legitimacy’ and ‘recognition’. We must not let an illegal illegitimate regime use political prisoners as ‘bargaining chips’.
Candles are lit up in support of @NUGMyanmar in some townships. Revolution must succeed!
As a daring defiant act, people are marking Thadingyut full moon day with revolutionary symbols in Monywa. Revolution shall succeed with unwavering bravery of people.
Perhaps it's time for non-Burmese speakers to stop using the word "Tatmadaw", the self-sanctified, glorified eponym the Burmese military style themselves. The word refers to the dynastic era army in which the “king” is present. The word “Myanmar/Burmese military” is enough.
Perhaps some academic would like to use the word “Tatmadaw” to show off their language skill without properly understanding the historical context. It’s really cringey and it needs to be stopped.
Good job @ASEAN Keep the Criminal-in-chief out
SAC (and some commentators) say not inviting them to @ASEAN summit broke the rule of “non-intervention”. But in fact, inviting and giving them recognition would break the rule of “non-intervention” in member states. SAC lacks any legal basis or legitimacy to represent Myanmar.
ASEAN Char: 2.2.h “adherence to rule of law, good governance, principles of democracy and 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 government” SAC violated constitution by unlawfully arresting president and seizing power @ASEAN has every right to refuse an illegal unconstitutional group
SAC does not have any legal or constitutional basis to represent Myanmar. They don’t have control over country or bureaucracy either. Thus, they also lack defacto legitimacy. There is no reason for ASEAN to invite an unlawful illegal organization claiming to represent Myanmar
