The crisis in Burma over the military coup is growing, with another bloody anti-government demonstration breaking out today and a protester tragically killed by military police. The government’s response to the crisis is to ensure that the government will continue to work with the people of the country.

The government’s response to the incident has been to make it clear that the government will not be able to provide any assistance to the victims.
In Myanmar’s second-largest city, Wa (Mandalay), hundreds of engineers took to the streets today chanting slogans such as “Free our leader,” referring to deposed senior state minister Aung San Suu Kyi, who has been imprisoned since the first day of the military coup.
The government’s response to the incident was to provide a clearer picture of the situation.

The government’s decision to use the “new” method of communication is a result of the fact that the government’s efforts to promote the use of the “new” method of communication have been limited. Footage came to light showing security forces firing on the crowd and bleeding bodies being dragged away. The United Nations said at least 38 people were killed that day.
Several government agencies in Myanmar today reported that many areas of the country were briefly without power today due to a “power system failure.
At around 1:30 p.m. local Time (3 p.m. Taipei time), people in Yangon, Myanmar’s commercial capital, took to Twitter and Facebook to post news of the massive power outage.
Yangon Electricity Supply Corporation (YESC) said, “A system failure has caused major power outages across the country.”
The local power company in Magway, a city located north of Yangon on the Irrawaddy River, also reported the same outage.
People in other parts of Myanmar also used Facebook, a very popular social media site, to post news of the outage. However, at 4 p.m. local time (5:30 p.m. Taipei time), the Yangon Electricity Supply Company announced that power was restored.
At the time, the Burmese military government was tightly controlling local communications, blocking social media platforms and disconnecting the Internet at night. Burmese people were able to escape the blockade by downloading wall software and continued to voice their opinions on social media.
On the other hand, in northern Burma, some people have crossed the border into India to escape the military and police crackdown.
Indian police say nine people have crossed the 1,600-kilometer border, three of whom are Burmese police officers who do not want to suppress demonstrations.
