5:33 pm
you should buy our oil cleared for public opinion or profit. once you make people afraid, you can use that to justify stripping away basic civil liberties. the listening post examined the vested interest behind the content you could see on al jazeera. i i, as i me okay, you watching the stream on today's episode, we mark a one year of military war in mere mall. on friday, the 1st 2021, the army seized control, claiming that the election, one by the national league for democracy was woodlands. ali found a journalist, was in miramar, a year ago to day. the day of the crew began for me with a lot of confusion. i was mostly trying to find out what had actually happened, trying to find out who had been detained. and very early on in the day the internet and the phone signal was cut off and that confusion started to be replaced by fear
5:34 pm
of who had been detained. what was coming next? looking back on it a year later, is just incredibly depressing me. i must have had a lot of issues, but so much progress disappeared in the blink of an eye. and these politicians, these activists, people that i know personally, are still in prison. they're still, many of my friends are still in hiding at the people are still missing. we don't even know where they are and the situation still dire. is there a path back to democracy for me and mar joining us? we have wayne in sin and sins ocean lee. thank you so much for being with us today . i know you gonna help us unpack what had happened in the past year. what needs to happen in the next year? when in pleasing minor audience, who you are? welcome back to the stream. thank you for me as my name and i'm the human rights activists. i've been working on them for many years. so last year, the ticket was very depressing for us. we always appreciate your reporting saying,
5:35 pm
please wait while i went and see who you are. welcome back to the stream. thanks very much. show me. my name is ben. i am a bernice journalist living in europe. i cover about but i'm also the co founder of a storytelling project called a kite tales indian ma get to have you and she ne, welcome back to the stream. it's really good to have you back with us. please remind audience who you are and what you think. hi, everyone for having me here. this is this, actually, i'm the keith coordinator for a grasp to the side correlation call. she wanted to follow along. thank you very much. all of you for being on national today. and if you are watching on youtube, you can be in a comment section. those comments can be wrapped in today's discussion, put them right here, and i will do my best to get them into the program. oh my goodness, we remember those protest, those brave protest this from
5:36 pm
a year ago. how will people who a me a more sin mom this one year anniversary? well, you know, the protesters pro democracy forces have been calling for a silent strike. there has been the have been a couple of silent strikes in the past couple of months that have been very, very successful. but it remains to be see how things will play out to morrow. because the hunter has threatened businesses and shops that plan to close at to be part of the signing strike. and they have also threatened arrests with anybody who, you know, planned to be part of it. so i think it remains to be seen whether there will be a silent strike tomorrow, but i think we can still be sure, regardless of whether there's going to be a strike. i think people are still extremely furious about the crew and they are still very, very much in favor of the pro democracy forces,
5:37 pm
whining. i seen notting, surely i seen owning as well when a new style fast a yes i, you know, this is a pattern by the military now. i mean, since last year they've been threatening people not to go out on the street to protest. they even told on the state media that they would shoot and kill people if they go out to protest. but, you know, our 2 things i want to say is, is been a year under the military cou, a military dictatorship. but to one is, or the military hasn't been able to consolidate power because of people's courage and determination to get rid of this military on 2nd is yes is depressing, but also we have to acknowledge so much achievement by the people of berman, you know, in terms of international achievement in terms of a national achievement, we have to acknowledge that. and these parents, people are still son standing up against it than these military. and i have no doubt they will find
5:38 pm
a created way to join the silent strike tomorrow. shenika had yeah . when you say when you're and i time or at all and another to dish, and i would say we are also marking and moravian a year of our resistant and a revolution for freedom. we are and save our mass like a new nation so. so that's, that's the is that all the people inside pharma that we will be celebrating our assistant, our finance. again on to oppressions come in for him to sign and go, but we stay. we stay with this and that's how the qu, plan finder is not yet not 100 percent implemented yet. so that's a story. so also there will be different strikes happening tomorrow. there are many on the strike comedy generates like comedy for national and pcp calling for a week action. people have to be kept like be aware of different activities like
5:39 pm
popping up in different areas, but they have to join them like naturally. and they always be organized in a safe manner. so basically there will be different colon rach, right, can pay monkey or like resistance so. so i really hope to see i'm a different sort of people joining in different manner. not just offline. what yes, so me, if you don't mind naturally jumping in that briefly just i say that, you know, the silent strike is just one form. there are so many others. and i also want to just reiterate what that is. i just said that the crew is not yet complete for all the weapons and the power that the hunter has is still has not been able to control the country. like women said they had not been able to control consolidate their power. a report that just came out maybe a week ago, a briefing paper on the resistance forces in myanmar found that 200 townships
5:40 pm
out of 330 are now under some control off local administration that is aligned with the national unity government. so, you know, that shows that even if we're not seeing big mass protests that we used to see, resistance is still happening in so many forms. and it's really important to add, i, i know, you know, this thing and, and, and all of our, a gas. notice that if you protest a few more the anniversary, a mia mall, the hunter will punish it. you will be seen as somebody who's being treasonous and they will be repercussions. so even though there is that threat, people still intend to protest awaiting i want to show this to our audience and i'm interested in your take here. this is film the assistance association for political prisoners, ham, f parentheses, bama, also known as mia mall. so this is in the past year,
5:41 pm
8835 people arrest. they charged all sentence that we know of. a 1967 have evaded arrests, so on the run in hiding killed that we know of 1503 sentence 661. what do these statistics tell us about the past year went in i think you said it when you repeat it that we know, i think that's a very important phrase because we don't know how many people have being forcefully disappeared in remote areas or an ethnic area and we don't know how many people have been killed in ethnic areas. so of course, these are the figures that we know and they are in prison. but there are so many other people that we, we are not aware of. and even this more than a 1800 people, many of them we don't know where they're being kept or how their condition is. and
5:42 pm
most of them have been horrifically torture. and if you are a female political prison as you go through sexual harassment rate and other sort of harassment just because of your agenda. so there are so many humor right. wow. ations happening in detention centers, depending on your agenda. if you are l g b t can come from l g b to q community, you phase out the form of horrific harassment as well as it's very devastating. and, you know, most of these political prisoners are young people, their students, they should have been in school, they should have been pursuing their dreams to become doctors and teachers, nurses, future leaders. but now they've been thrown into prison for standing up against the hunter. and it's really depressing. so yeah, in that point i just want to add like this number 8000. if not, it's not yet an app data. one is more than a $10000.00 now within
5:43 pm
a year. and just to take note of it, we already have around us, my hand went out political prisoner before the 2. and now we has more, more and more light. we could feed a increased member college campus in oxford. oh, year, even before the coot of is like, as for you, increase pressure and weeping panels and remind me all the politicians and different emission of community center arise season is coming. because and doing the pen make in 2020. the added as being, saving to friends up in prism ends like saving yet increasing within a week without say, a trial and so, and that's with all the election use, you know, and in time we all, when mickland and now we're seeing that increased number of political chris and obviously now is there's no utensil asked, let me bring an extra voice into this conversation. i'm going to play this,
5:44 pm
this new voice to you thin. he is a came, he's an independent research and analysis analyst, and this is what he told us. a few hours ago have a listen and then respond directly off the back of came thoughts. the john says, facing emacula rising, there is more united and stronger than anything. it is facing the military 1st power in $962.00. there's federal democracy movement includes the loyalist pro democracy support of ng sensi ci, the ethnic federalists movements that whose people have been the target of decades of ethnic violence and who have been resisting, centralized, a control over 400000 striking civil servants and extremely impressive gen z youth groups, women's groups, and other civil society organizations. so the report, the briefing paper that i quoted just now that said, you know, 200 conscious of 330 and under some resistant forces actually is co written by him . so he knows what he's talking about, and i totally agree with him. you know,
5:45 pm
despite all the devastation and the trauma that i think collective trauma that we've seen in me, emma. there's also been a massive transformation in the society. the country is more inclusive and united than it has ever been. and we, you know, the national unity government. i would say it's not perfect, but it's the most progressive that we have seen. and there is an understanding. and i hope that if only we are giving a chance, i think we could have a really bright future. we just need to be given that chance for let me just open up some of the criticism. some of the push back that has been made from a protest and i'm going to put this usually started off as non violence deliberately. so that is now turned into in some parts of me and me all a violent resistance. talk to us about that. and what's,
5:46 pm
what the protest is, what the resistance movement is thinking when they are having to take up arms. do they have to take up arms. so there was suspended the 1st resolution when we launched the revolution that has been always known. and still is because the only difference strikes and protests happening across the whole country been not skipping a day. and later on they turn into mainly because the honda being crashing down using different forces you know, and how to crash it down. and then they, the resistance, the strike comedy, the have to defend them. so everything the, ask the b 5 to stand with the, you know, the tie or the bag and everything they have in the own community. and then later on, these people have to join in the already existing different ethnic and
5:47 pm
revolutionary foods. these revolution for being the same thing is to check on a pat 7, for example, 35, january just yesterday, martine, 70, and evolve 3 of the koran revolution. date so you can see how this system they so these proteins and they can read the de striking that they have to create a wheel striking for example, and peters peer in some way for like 15 minutes. and then they just disappear like a flash drive. kind of thing. so these kind of protests already happened and you way military is not in place. the organized around 300 people in the, in east religious. and they all be kind of gave a laura when a reason to the really just our phone thing. so they're not skipping that they the
5:48 pm
only thing some. so for the mutual wayne and i'm going to show them if he, if, if i may, how soon, what are your perspective on the scope of this spring revolution waiting? i think it's been a year and our determination to approve this military is stronger than ever like a said. and also my thing said is that, and no one has stopped from a resisting we are doing in every way possible across the country that you can see people are coming out to protest in different way people are resisting in many ways possible. and, you know, people, it's been a year people joined civil disobedience movement and they haven't been paid at all . and they, they are determined to continue that. and they are not paying less 50 bill because the money will go to the military for they are doing all sort of the creative way to resist that military. so that's why it's been a year. it doesn't matter how many people they threatened to kill or how many
5:49 pm
people they thrown into prison. the military conklin, holiday holler. you know, the only way they have weapons and the only country they have is violence. and that's the only thing they know how to use it against people, whereas all people have intelligence, creativity, courage, and resilience that the military lack. so that's the courage thing for us to take note all as a i think also just very briefly, you know, there's a lot of talk about violence and i guess, personally, i would rather that we also win this in a non violent way. but, you know, this is a military that shoot and protest us in the head. this is a military that use a car to plow into and protested, we are sitting somewhere safe. and we're discussing this, you know, without having to worry about how we sleep at night. my friends, my family, my former colleagues, this is their life day to day immune. my don't think,
5:50 pm
you know, it's very difficult to sit somewhere safe and then judge the decisions that they had to make in order to actually survive. can you talk to me to trust in about you make a good point about what people are having to take on and and how they are living. we've done stream episodes about cov it, emma and the economy. even though me, mom is still able to operate with international allies. the economy is degrading. what is it like for the people that you know who are existing a may and me all right, now, what is that situation? i mean the economy is in tatters. you know, people are having to lift through runaway inflation, storing prices. the u. n. d p has said that probably, you know, half of people in me a mom will probably be living in poverty this year. the u. n. an released a statement or document in december say that 14400000 people that more
5:51 pm
than one out of 4 people need humanitarian assistance. i mean, that's how, but we're talking about what i've been talking to, you know, farmers and people in agriculture sector as well. and, you know, again, we focus a lot on conflict and politics and violence, but people who are not even displaced. people who are not even in conflict though they are having such hardship. just, you know, living just trying to survive. and there, up people that i've been speaking to in the agricultural heartlands, the places where some of the major cropping areas in the and they're struggling farming households are having to sell long term assets. you know, would livestock, their food storage in order to survive in order to just be able to eat, you know, that has furious long term consequences for the whole country in terms of
5:52 pm
humanitarian needs and the international community. really, we need to see this from the perspective of humanitarian and not just politics. i promise that our international community online, that they could be part of this program as well. this is what my brown says on youtube. i lived in me him off for 8 years until last april, because of the qu, the lack of support from the rest of the world, especially the un. and of course, axiom has been appalling. that is, mark's take, but he also wants to bring into our conversation. we talk about me, emma, without talking about him and also asking in special community, what are you doing? this is what we had earlier from our border community. we are, people are worrying that military was escalade violence against ruling and we are worrying terrible situation can happen to the dcf 2022. an international community is not due either. nothing to mention of community
5:53 pm
should do more support. justice and accountability met at some point in icy details and more universal during dixon case taking action. i guess military is really important. yet the world has not really acted as in the way that it needs to. there needs to be more political pressure on them yet content including coordinate economic sanctions and recognition of their past crimes of what they did to the ranger as genocide, the us needs to take that official step. there have been some response from the internet community. i big corporations coming out of me and she really tell us about that. is it enough? is it the start of something more? so when we talk about what we can do to help me am i right to be assaulted over the country. we only say they are 2 things you can do. but as the lease means,
5:54 pm
the fuss is the target of censure. and the 2nd is to stop the end slows to name our haunt, act at the ends like imposed ends and the go. and also on top of his pension on the military and miller to businesses. so these are the 2 leasing the international community can do to help we m into snow down the military balance is happening every day. that this is not yet happening as much as should be. so today, there are some countries like you as you kelly tinetta, imposing on just like individuals. we welcome why only beast country all the time. what about our neighbors? like india, korea, japan, singapore asked me, where are they doing? so obviously it is the worship at to get in a collaborated man is not just a matter of only a huge country. we're all ready doing already. what they're supposed to do. we need more people joining in defense, collaborating, action, austin,
5:55 pm
for the ice committee. haste, now we don't see more come see, a joining nicety case. all the un security council passing a resolution. they have never done, never pass a resolution sent a qu, so obviously never to not want the people i so oil companies why i was being very specific as i, i'm, i'm going to just bring them up so that we can to see what's happening. oh, companies are leaving me a mall. abraham on youtube says the only way to save the people of mamma is to increase the economic pressure of mima and thus increase the, the, the, the need to actually have the, the i'm, i'm just out summarizing now to, to have the international community. seeing that they can control what the hunter is doing. one more thought, and then i'm going to come to you waiting in. and this thought comes from me, me pant. who told us this area? the terror and you told you of the military increase every single day. and despite
5:56 pm
that fact, the international government a stay slow and very slow in responding. only issue in statement and now is the time to step up. now is the time to start, the revenue flows and flows to the me, a mom of the tree, especially governments like alice, really a sub korea that has not done anything to take this military accountable. now is the time, what thought would you like to leave us with wayne in on the anniversary of the qu, him me, emma? what do you want us to be thinking of? well, to festival international community should be standing with people. and 2nd is touching on the point about accountability. the bernice military's been committing these atrocities against ethnic nationalities in my country for many, many decades. there is no accountability, there is no justice. so that created
5:57 pm
a sense of impunity for the military and genocide of their hinge happen, no accountability whatsoever. so now this is the time for the international community to step up and hold the military accountable for all the atrocities committed. otherwise, this cycle of impunity will continue, and bernice people will continue to suffer. so that's what i want to mention. yes, in the my i want to jenny no, to me. now i'm in today's light. at the same time, we really need to change the narrative as will military as one of the bonding take on the analogous decor and the aisle criminal, the up a tree. we need to hold them accountable. so we need to treat them as such as the art. so this is not the message for me to me. thank you so much. let me just show you where all of our guests can be found on twitter. you can be following what's happening in miramar via their work. this is wayne in and sin
5:58 pm
and chimney. thank you very much for your thoughts and your comments on the chief. i will see you next time. take everybody. the story of zimbabwe. in her words, history is always told from the perspective of the great men, whether it's david livingston, or robert mcgarvey. my responsibility is to tell them all when story in a way that it hasn't fully been told before. the ordinary everyday life was involved with is that people are writing about patina, cuppa out of darkness. my zimbabwe on al jazeera, the latest news. they are leaving extremely harsh conditions. and for 10 years they was the victims of 9 years must hold, gutted under cherry and crisis with detailed coverings warning that only problem
5:59 pm
practice. so in power, large part of precisely polygon gap here from around the world war on housed people. years of living on the street actually accelerates the aging, brought them from international politics to the global pandemic. and everything in between. it did not respect poor people and your our planet promised to ensure the safety of women. what happened, this justice, the pinball fullback, that people actually have more. why is the u. k, so hostile to try and see if the mysteries all of us join me? if i take on the live, dismantled misconceptions and meet the contradiction at the time to get up front on al jazeera ah alger 0 rate with
6:00 pm
no this is al jazeera ah, under clock, this is in utah, alive from doha, coming up the next 60 minutes showing up support the leaders of russia and ukraine meets the allies with concerns growing about the true build up at the border. the mosque saw off denmark becomes the 1st european country to lift nearly all of its k with 90 restrictions. despite his surgeon cases, i'm a senior national accusing israel of apartheid saying it's may.
