facebook and apps including instagram and whatsapp has left many in the dark. yet we have no access to any news no news about mother and son searching i feel so sad it gives me a pain in my chest. blocking facebook means that the freedom of young people is restricted this military care has started costing us our jobs and our education is now in trouble. with soldiers back on the streets of major cities most of the protests have been under the cover of darkness residents in yangon bank parts of the night and honked car hones. among those who have openly shown opposition a medical personnel who have declared they won't work for the military government. i mean you know this government was not elected and verted for by us we don't accept them or work under their command so we have stopped providing services and
