Myanmar marks 100 days since military coup took hold of the nation

Published

The unfolding situation in Myanmar has now reached all-time highs as the nation marks 100 days since being taken over by the military

In the latest development, Myanmar security forces have fired shots and arrested about 30 people at an anti-coup rally in the country’s second-biggest city of Mandalay.

Protesters, continuing kept defying a months-long crackdown by a junta struggling to impose order.

Chaos erupted in Mandalay, a hotbed of anti-military sentiment when plainclothed police emerged from vehicles minutes into a protest, firing guns and beating demonstrators who fell as hundreds fled.

The nation is also known as Burma and remains in a political crisis all the while the nation’s leader Aung San Suu Kyi remains detained.

Democracy For Buma

The Democracy for Burma (#D4B) campaign started in Sydney Australia in late February 2021.

All five of the campaign founders have lived and worked in Burma over the last 20 years. Since the February 1st coup, they have all seen their family, friends and work colleagues in Burma suffer at the hands of the brutal Burmese military (the Tatmadaw).

Democracy in Burma is no more. Burmese Senior General Min Aung Hlaing seized control of power, detained many of the democratically elected leaders and embarked on a brutal and bloody crackdown

The D4B campaign comes in response to this injustice. 

The campaign actively supports pro-democracy activities, the civil disobedience movement (#CDM), the Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (#CRPH), the newly formed National Unity Government (#NUG) and various networks that provide support and finance to people imperilled by the failed coup.

In Sydney, D4B will hold a Semiotics of Protest: A Burmese Inspired Protest Art Exhibition in association with The Art Syndicate gallery in 344 Bourke Street, Surry Hills. The exhibition will open on Sunday 16th May 2021. Funds raised will go to supply emergency medical supplies badly needed in Burma.

Running concurrently with the exhibition, D4B will host a series of weekly panel discussions, which will form the basis of a 4-part Podcast Series called the ‘D4B Debates’. Hosted by Shane Brady, D4B is lining up 3 expert panellists each week to discuss: The background to the Feb 1st coup, the National Unity Government & CRPH, Australia’s role in Burma and the Humanitarian Assistance to Burma.
