past but it's clear that today it's being used as a platform to continue a war on its own people isn't it. there's no question about it that this is an army at war with its own people are i mean there are reports credible reports of more than 90 people killed today so we could be looking at a death toll potentially of more than 400 total since the military coup was staged on february 1st so many of these people shot in the head i mean the warning came on state media about the possibility of demonstrators being shot in the head today it will be them doing that for weeks protesters have been getting shot in the head so many armed civilians dead at the hands of the country's security forces this is part of the military plan to just terrorize the civilian population just like we have our who doesn't past have done well this new and is doing the same thing not only with the number of people that they're killing on the streets in their own midst but they're just terrorizing them with nighttime raids i mean i've spoken to people me on this week and tell me they are terrified every time they hear
4:04 pm
a knock on the door and sometimes it's not a knock on the door sometimes it's a door being kicked down and security forces rate you see people who are in custody of the security forces wounded people without weapons clearly in custody no way to fight back and yet they get beaten by the security forces sometimes people get taken away by the security forces and they turn up dead the next day this is just terrorizing the civilian population david talks are underway that might lead to the resistance having its own normie to fight mir in mars' a military head on can you explain how this could work and where the troops for this resistance army would come from. shirts of the person have to give a little bit of context on the country and the out of the reaches of me m.r. around the periphery you've got ethnic minority states and these ethnic minority states are tired of having a highly centralized government that's dominated by the majority ethnic group the burmese in this highly centralized government be enough to call the shots across
4:05 pm
the country and these ethnic minority states they love long wanted more autonomy and more say over their own affairs and there's actually ethnic armed groups with weapons here that have been fighting battles against them e.m.r. army for decades to try and give their respective states more autonomy well now discussions are underway that could potentially lead to bringing these different armed ethnic groups together into one sort of national resistance army now there's roughly 2 dozen of these at armed groups depending on how many of them you can get to pull together and sign on to the sort of national resistance army you could potentially be looking at a sort of resistance force of about 800000 maybe plus whoever they could recruit from the civilian population on top of that they would still be way outnumbered by the me our army which has more than 400000 it's better resourced but still 100000 could still cause a lot of problems with me on our army and i should say there stall lot of discussions
4:06 pm
a lot of details that need to be worked out before the sort of unified resistance army could come together. you know did the coup leader mina lying said the army seeks to join hands with the entire nation to safeguard democracy that's an exact quote if i recollect should the international community be assured by that. seen actually pretty clearly rejects it just like the populate most of the population inside the country rejects it i mean somebody going for democracy would not allow the army that he's in charge of to shoot down so many on arm civilians to terrorize the civilian population it is very clear men on long is out to protect the regime the generals of me i am are out for the reason and to protect the fortune that they've amassed over decades to this country's natural resources to the businesses they control so many of the people in the population live in poverty these generals are millionaires and they're trying to protect their regime journalist david gergen
