7:33 am
to the only music you hear is your the most beautiful music in the world and so i will repeat with newsmakers stories the. zeros. i am for me ok today all the stream can anything be done to stop me in laws antique crackdown i'm sure you've seen the headlines so we're going to go a little bit deeper if you're on you tube you can add just thoughts your questions your comments put that in the comments section and equally part of today's discussion. are security forces in myanmar take on i'm t. can protest as the campaign to restore civilian government continues since the military took power on subway the 1st more than 50 people have been killed and
7:34 am
hundreds detained including the civilian leader aung san suu kyi the growing death toll at allegations of shoot to kill tactics by security forces have drawn condemnation and threats of foreign sanctions joining me to talk about this in omagh a bernese human rights defender living in exile in edinburgh scotland alley falle is a journalist who has covered it me i'm all for al-jazeera number of other news outlets as well and finns are shouldn't he is a proto moccasin activist she's joining us on the phone from young gone because of the country's nightly internet. should let's start with these internet shutdowns what is going on why they happening what difference does that make to you as a protester 3 questions should we go ahead. thank you so say it's a cool start at the schools that are what they smash shut down and we credit it
7:35 am
could shave from nations all the fuss was every end that keep going all the soccer that we learned earlier and cost you in the not just physical cause you paid to get a cup of tea so every night at. studying for one e.m.t. to another morning like at 9 am they shut down so anything can happen within this period so these they leave it we've been struggling with the information flowing because they say so ben twitter ban is instagram back and the same time we said i would be more neater with our daily communication by the military and security for the largest online but also physically while we are out on street and could pass illegal make sure where we leave a we where it's an update as a same time many activists say relocating our location because of the security rick . so these days the protests keep going on and on the streets again
7:36 am
activist we don't even today after a brutal crackdown over the last week we face see young people organizing themselves and voluntarily kind of could pass that is kind of the award and delay track all the way and they you know even in the smaller members of the stage chanting were full and it's the best that we've seen with nothing even myself with protest yesterday was a historic day on the intimation no woman save many a. woman and woman out on street waving their flags waving her little flag that was the story tape yesterday ok let me go to omar while you're watching this from outside as an outsider but somebody who knows what it's like to be protesting and to be pushing back and all skins that democracy how strong is this i'm to which the site isn't even a movement. it's definitely is
7:37 am
a movement it's fairly fiber and also involved by the various sectors of the society also like ages ranging from like 80 years old to 80 years old and also the protest a surely that i observed our covering like pretty much across the country like a 3 quarter of the country's geography is for with these peaceful protesters of other young age and. elderly and because i was a surely one of the protesters and i go also are part of this organizing the media why democracy uprising began 1808 and i compare where the these young people like sean lay and also the the rest of the the the in the those students and you know the the rest of the country as well as those civil servants and public and private sector world you know who joined them selves in this movement called the civil
7:38 am
disobedience movement and i see that you know the but right now is much more stronger much more like the diverse and also with a lot more like a creativity and in terms of their. tactics that they apply and which i even see as the very home grown which something that we didn't have a bag and i did 88 because you know at that time we were the country was come under the company darkness and of the complete control of the i don't think it's off the minute the previous military region which we didn't have like phone or social media so. compared to them compared to that. this is a much more vibrant but also like shown there already stressed the point that as much as this social media is an advantage for the movement but also it is the internet and communications are in hands of the very very brutal very brutal
7:39 am
military hunter so that is already also posing a major threat today to the peaceful protesters that i see very worried. do you have a greater understanding and can help us understand what the hunter was thinking for this coup. from the beginning of february and how that handling the pushback from the citizens on the street what happened i mean i wish i could tell you i own in the weeks leading up to the coup we there were rumors that it was going to happen because there were there were signs there was a military press conference where they had said the military surge hasn't said that they wouldn't rule it out so obviously rumors were flying but really everyone i spoke to thought that it was going to happen because it just didn't make any sense you know this the military have a huge amount of control under the current constitution they have veto power over that constitution so it can't be changed they have
7:40 am
a lot of business interest press they're financially secure they've continued to act with impunity they've never ever been held to account for things they've done in the past so this seems like absolutely no logic and no reason for them to do it and the n l d the sense that she's government the government has just been voted in the 2020 lections was and is incredibly popular so they knew that if they did anything like this it would be an extremely unpopular move and it would it would lead to a lot of backlash which we've seen and so the only thing i can think of is that it is the power hungry. kind of i'm personally ambitions of men on line who was due to retire in july and who had probably hoped that he might be able to get enough military that seats in the in the november elections that maybe he'd be able to get voted in as a c. in your position but when that became completely clear that when it became clear
7:41 am
that was not going to be an option he still will have probs going to hold on to power it's the only explanation i can think of i also don't understand and can't explain the pushback from the security forces in the in the days after the coup. out on the street or a country how wonderful the atmosphere was that like there was obviously a lot of peer intention but that the movement was so big and has so many protesters and people said to people and old colleagues of omagh who had been marching with her in 1980 this is different this is bigger than we've ever seen before you know these are people who were there in 88 then they were saying to me this is something different and it did feel hopeful and then when the crackdown really started i think the atmosphere was just so different and that of the brutality that we're seeing coming from the military over the last couple of weeks from security forces
7:42 am
has just spread so much fear and not and there's increasing anger cools but just so much tension and they're everywhere and the just seems to be no logic behind it no seems to be no end game apart from spreading terror. i want to show you a little snippet of what it might be life a shanae who is. in nam all right now we have video showing the way of protesters being surrounded by security forces work at a play this video i know that you live on what was it like. it was. for a ring at the st i was ankle agent because one of the protest the withdrawal declined to security holes and when not alone i am a. great joely great jilly mentally many people are sending its soul is already with them so many people break in the cars at 9 30 am on 1 30
7:43 am
pm and they were out on street carrying them some chinese they i saw their faces their favor was still concerned about the protests that they look at i feel so powerful at the time like oh my god we can do something i will make a noise just distraught that tension from the security forces and that was that the security forces follow us the security force to chase us down and they put the stan grant aid if in front of us and we were all glad that self-aware is just a way that we are eventually face given the pressure to the security forces are we don't like this is happening we know that you are surrounding our people so this is a clear signal that the favorite intuition that communities like that and that's the issue a different statement out at night than all the stuff you know eventually. they have to leave the area and then in the morning all the perps go freely they were
7:44 am
freely going backward tends to be a place there's so there was such a kind of a day for all of us of such a long day but i fail and grapes by our own people i we have all itself but this is that motivation for me yesterday was like a day for me i might you know be to react to this headline this is from reuters and the headline says me mommy tells the un it is ready to wear the sanctions and isolation on voice says so vicious is the pushback from the military about maybe what the international community's deciding to do what do you make of the international community's reaction so you saw to this could. you see there's some international some part of the international community has taken steps into the right direction such as the united states for example like stepping up with the very concrete action such as like you know. freeze in
7:45 am
the $1000000000.00 reserve that this military was trying to seize where there's also the. the new administration coming up with and like father sanction in the individual military generals as well as non-target in the. 2. military congo married the economic cooperation and the like and on nick holding limited and i just to go back to alys point of like you know how do we make sense of this coup and like like elie already stressed the point like that is this person the ambition by him that this male lie that leader of the coup. and because you know he's losing to the military power is number one. in next few months if he didn't take this coup but at the same time it's not only one motive that i
7:46 am
actually find also in a way because you know haven't this commander in chief position he and his family made so much what so much personal what out of these 2 military conglomerates that he and his. the military elite club share throughout the you know like a past 10 years and before but also because of the you know in the past 10 years as the country open up they had so much opportunities and privileges to to seize the moment of the 10 years to have this business relationship. with the western part of the country the western world and you like a and where the able to procure the military hardware is as much as also the jewel used goods joyeuse goods where they can in and they really get. what he called the advance with their. technology and all of that which many of those are being be
7:47 am
applied and used to suppress the people so i was i'm just sorry and not wanting to condemn i just also wanted to point out you're absolutely right it's that he already has so much well consolidated and there's so much personal money going on in their family but also i think he doesn't care at all about international opinion and i think that's been made very clear by the actions of the last few. weeks because they just basically reacted to any kind of condemnation by saying you know we'll we'll weather this storm we've lived under isolation before we've lived under sanctions before we don't care and. in the early days of the q i feel like lots of people were saying well it's a might plead guilty back because it would look really bad to the international community and the military common in improving their image and you know even though
7:48 am
obviously terrible things are still happening there was still this kind of idea that the military had can see the power but their actions recently just showed you have absolutely no interest in peeping the military and keeping the international community onside and i think that you are right she it's personal well and which makes him less personally worried about that kind of thing but also just an absolute lack of interest in maintaining a good reputation in the international scene in the globe in global diplomacy and so i guess let me just play you this analysis from alina nor she's in washington d.c. but just in political analysis of what is happening in me i'm all right now have a listen have a look at what causes asians having worked in the past and even with a gauge meant there is always the question of just how much engagement is appropriate without appearing to legitimize the military takeover. additionally
7:49 am
there is no one single stakeholder that has enough leverage over the top my dog to reverse the coup. any efforts to pressure the myanmar military will have to be done in a coordinated and preferably multilateral fashion and coordination as we all know it takes time and if people are born yes janae i am looking at a picture right now of you holding a flag you are demonstrating you are boat you are in the middle of protesting are you hopeful that what you will doing will well have positive results the cynicism from outside of the country that this could be reversed. so while we're looking not the whole we're looking out something will we have joined we're not just looking at the result but also we're looking at the process so this is the process that we or with nothing and experiences together not just our except but also with all of us
7:50 am
to you know this is that if of pall of a keel as we see there is no one single leader like big leader or. also at the same time we all are equally rejecting the military participation in the in the politics this is such a rare moment for all of us that we totally reject them militarily and we don't acknowledge they are whatever the as they know the issue differences they now we just love about the issue of the olson that we don't take take account of then we are ready to break down though this is such a rare women for all of us to have in our own space talking at all over politics you know including the you has got including the eponym minorities women young people i would get given the equal space for all of us to express our consent to all of to chat and stuff so i think we have so much benefited from the this whole process why protesting on the ground why organizing protests why believe c.d.n.
7:51 am
you know we are here is full of are really not as good as never before so i feel like the important process for all of us we have benefit in that we don't know what cannot be happen in the next few days or so but i think only the political move amend the political leaders can eventually bring the change like so that our daily put pass on the street and that could pass with the p.d.f. is all important because he or didn't pressure not to intimation to communities but also all you need is for different communities absent leaders and even today and army you know also i know that their little party we're all given. question how many before you might take an action clearly and question that we act. and also we actually did well could i believe it is really true that. for their future.
7:52 am
so i think you know where. i am going to put to you and some rapid fire questions because on you tube there's a conversation happening and i would love for your help to understand this story a little bit more now as rain for instance why is the world silent when such brutal things are happening in me a mom oh my you take that. why is the world so what was the question that is the question ok well i want to say that the world is silent but definitely the the top of the key leaders of the world the the the leaders of the world are still silent you know who the one who are actually able to take their actions so just like the security council you know like the politics within the security council where whenever it comes to myanmar burma in particular like china and russia always always always always defend this military regime in the past
7:53 am
and then i think that's are those the major problem that we're having with the world is the age of the i believe it is on the side of the people whereas the the ones who can take the actions are not so much this one that is feed you the military has this already infamous the government a lot why would they have a coupe what would they hope to achieve. i think that it really comes down to just being power hungry as i mentioned before . the only thing that i see them achieving is just the absolute lack of. flexibility the freedoms and just having things absolutely in their way and total control and the only other explanation which i hope is not true but is becoming closer to my my belief recently is that they are sadistic and that
7:54 am
they enjoy seeing people suffering but i feel like that's just too depressing a little wants to think but that's how it feels and and certainly how it feels on the streets of myanmar. and you know i only left a few days ago and it feels like there is an act of cruelty and with no real goal at the end of it and that's what's really frightening i want to pinging she. me i'm making sure that you can hear me so this question is for you and it's a very brief response is coming from sarah till on you changed do you think shanae that this could actually be an opportunity for groups to and night against the brutal military go ahead. yet the cool just created a kind of. the could just lizzie the true color all the military people we was
7:55 am
so it lucian dogs and other people they could be cherished and. it was correct to direct that final military and accept that finding a roommate oddly and you know all of us that we wish lenny elections and all these the what lou shows we see that we will and people credit because they shouldn't but eventually it was all guided finally tree and now we are truly in the true kahlo of the military and now we all. poke a little get rid of it the military already taken over you know our politicos peer at the same time now they are plenty our house whole and all our daily security so i think. for sure it created a port city for all of us to recycle what one around in the beginning it's really difficult in a daze not to make comparisons between all the times when they have been pro-democracy movements in me i'm all and send you since different from 2007 is
7:56 am
this different from an e.t.a. this is sent from the wind who says this is different and have a listen. gov of illusion is very much different from the previous previous revolutions like 98 or 2007 because we now have seen to net we don't have the official media that we all have to be told to get all of the help and if in a country in the we get i believe that into the social media platform to reach out the whole war and also we have some media which often get cherry and which over reporting to the people you know die me and we have this is a group which have been defending and promoting democracy human rights and freedom for the all of the people full of the people i know very much and i tend to vote the freedom and democracy and we all are dedicated to fight but for all those ingested military haunt us. i guess today have taken us deeper into what is happening in me i'm all right now i know you will want to follow them have
7:57 am
