When the military seized power through a coup in Myanmar, many around the world were caught by surprise.
The Southeast Asian country was on the road to democracy after millions voted for a second term of office for Aung San Suu Kyi and her National League for Democracy last November.
The BBC's Flora Drury explains what events led to the coup, and how the military has dealt with opposition in the past.

This is most likely about money. The generals are worried their pockets are not as full as usual.

The Chinese want to have control over Myanmar also India want the same. The Chinese is gaining control here. Clue the "Belt and Road initiative"
@@khalidibnwalid1340 I know,I always watch study IQ channel,that's why India is staying neutral
Military junta should immediately restore democracy. Don't give up my Myanmar ese brothers and sister. Learn from history- this junta has to move backwards. I will pray from God. Lots of love and support from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳.
Thank u...
Indian is losing the influence over Myanmar and China is taking control.
God aint gonna do shit. Tractors protest will help.
They will never restore democracy cuz they’re not democracy they will always be communist
Ew
At morning we protest for our rights, At night we have to guard our house in case they would burn us alive while sleeping. Now they say they will cutoff the connection. Please Help Us.
Don't worry the military are kinda sweet according to Aung San Suu Kyi remember. 🤔

“No one knows why the military chose to act”. Astonishing but true. Life without logic.
@poopooman poo go get him
Military was expecting their proxy party will win 26%, which they can form government with existing 25% of army members of parliament. But they failed again in 2020. So, they claim election fraud and took over. They follow what Trump did. But the difference is that they got the army.
Maybe they felt bored and one day went like "okay let's take over the country now.".
@@aungsoe6946 Thank you for that. How can any person in the Military reconcile such immoral conduct in their own mind, and to face their children, family and friends and the whole population ? Extraordinarily dishonourable conduct, unbefitting of any person of intellect who should have high moral principles.
@@perarduaadastra873 yah, according to their behaviour, i can only assume they don't understand what is morality. It's a long battle for to remove those evils from the country. Currently, after the coup, they have released 23k prisoners and dropping off little by little in residential areas. Some are setting fire and some are trying to poison water. Heart breaking situations.
Many Oligarchies, Monarchies, And Dictatorships are ruled by people who use to be in the militaries
Great contribution thank you

This is our country's tragedy. A military that has gone rouge, attacking people mercilessly and is now trying to return us back to stone age. Being from Australia, I was glad I have more information about my birth country, but with the current constitution drafted by, then we have no hope to see whenever the army would relinquish its power.
Don't worry mate according to aung san suu kyi the military are kinda sweet even when they're athletically cleansing minorities.🤞
Please save us.all Myanmar citizens are under threaten. Both mental and physical. The Military released over 20 thousands of prisoners. The citizens are now under attacked. Please save us from dictatorship
The first problem of Myanmar lies on the thirst of the military generals. Remember 1947 assassination of Aung San (Suu Kyi's dad)? Because the military went rouge and they feared Aung San's ambition for a civilian, non-military interference government. For a country that has only begun to experience flawed democracy that has been installed by the military, then it appears the military of Myanmar has been corrupted from depth. But I believe this is also the same situation to every Burmese institutions: it has chosen wrong way and become captives of their own ambitions, which is the second problem. I have never been to Myanmar but I have used to experience war situation of the country when I was in India as a tourist. I have seen militants of different ethnic groups in that Western Myanmar running away, recalling that the Burmese Army was rouge, but the leadership is even worse because they did everything to profit themselves and not the poorer civilians; corrupt officials sometimes colluded with the military. That's why most of Myanmar is very undeveloped except the Irrawaddy region (Mandalay, Nayyidaw, Yangon). Suu Kyi was revered not because she has the economic and political capabilities, but rather because she is seen as the only key figure to unite different factions. Unless they establish an iron-fist regime similar to that of Vietnam or a quasi-democracy friendly Thailand, it won't be solved. British colonization aside, it could have been a different story had Burmese leadership not become so corrupt.
True, not many people know this but the corruption in Myanmar is one of the main reason why poor people always lose to the military.

This is a very misleading headline. You made no attempt whatsoever to explain what led to the coup. You simply said no one knows. That, also, is completely untrue, of course as the junta will know why they acted when they did. So please use the English language correctly (or at least make an attempt so to do) and do not use misleading click-bait. To offer a longer, decent analysis concluding in we do not know why they acted is fine - and probably accurate - but don't do a lazy, quick re-cap and mis-sell it. Thank you.
No. I'm from Burma. The military coup has taken over for its power to be given. protesters each die. They shoot at protesters. Bomb places. And because of the money wasted in Burma for the military they had no money for protection for the people. So people from other country stepped in and made this situation worse.
Junta wanted more money for their families and friends..probably Govt Treasury will be empty very soon for this reason !

A few weeks ago my internet friend Khin Nan from Myanmar was going out like any normal girl in the world. Clicking her pictures in a flowery sundress, making tiktoks fanning over Seiji from Whispers of the Heart. Today she is going to protest by day with her country people. By night she is keeping a watch over her neighborhood because she is scared that the Prisoners or Military people might intrude her home. 200,000 plus years of civilization and yet we haven't come far enough to be competent enough to stop such 𝗼𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 from happening. I truly feel powerless as I can't do anything but console her over texts. It is a disgrace that Big international organization is still not using their privilege and Power to help Myanmar.

Thank you BBC for your reporting 🙏
Our nights aren’t safe anymore. The prisoners including life-sentenced that the military released are terrorizing the streets at night with arson and burglary, and military personnels who used to arrest and torture people for breaking curfew are nowhere to be found. Volunteers have to guard their neighborhood at night and already caught several terrorizing inmates whom we suspect, are drugged. Several drones flying over the neighborhood can be seen at night and we are afraid that Military might label our neighborhood volunteers as rioters and use those for their advantage. These activities are getting out of hand as the day go by. This is not the first time we suffered this type of violence. In 8888 uprising, they used the exact same strategy to terrorize at night and wearing down the protesters and normal citizens alike both physically and mentally. Please, the world must know their cruelty and inhumanity.

GOD SHOW us MERCY we are nothing WITHOUT YOU,we are so hopeless and lost WITHOUT YOU 🙏
I thought we were going to find out what triggered the Coup, rather than a history lesson. oh well.
money and power same for all dictators around the world
Voter fraud
The Tatmadaw < Burmese military > claimed voter fraud in 2020 election but the election committee dismissed their claims because there was no voter fraud , so the general was unhappy about that and on Feb 1 there was a military coup , the president and most parliament members were arrested. And the general promoted himself as the leader of the country and fired all appointed government officials and promoted his people. That’s why everyone is pissed and protesting. They are truly ruthless this is 3rd coup.
@Saffy Hussian If they can control NLD that easy, they won’t bother overthrowing the government. They did the coup because their power is being stripped away and losing control. You can’t change a 70 years of corruption in just 5 years service.
@Saffy Hussian we know very well it was not a real democracy, we call it Quasi Democracy, only five years of semi civilian parliament and they were feeling the heat..
Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves.- Lincoln
Yes exactly right. Perfect. They then defended mass genocide of rohingyas. They didn't fight for them. Now this is their time to deserve the karma.
I like that " free of fear"
Not only buddhist people in myanmar but also muslim people in myanmar support Su Kyi. Don't mention about religious.

Reason only allows the corrupt to manipulate it on the people. Fear is the only thing that keeps the corrupt in line.
Rohingya case was not due to Aung San Suu Kyi. It was bcoz of military. They not only killed Muslim but also Rakhine. There wasn't cases between citizens but military started those. Rakhine and Rohingya were ordinary friends before military target to ungrace Aung San Suu Kyi.

Is anyone going to help?
If Aung San Suu Kyi believed she did nothing wrong, then why did she ignore or refuse to recount or investigate the ballots as requested by Military?? Because.. she knew Military will take over the Government and she also knew that she will be arrested by not taking any action on the request which was requested by Military.. And she knew exactly what will happen after she was detained by Military.. so.. Did she just throw a stone to catch two birds?? Of course.. First one is to escure herself to get out of trouble and second one is to get rid off Military once in for all.. It was a plot and well planned by Aung San Suu Kyi.. The question is.. Will it work?? Well, we all wait and see.
Money - money which controlled by power. Military owns 2 biggest companies in the country which control the petroleum, the alcohol, the tobacco, all the lucrative products. The 5 years before the 1st election it was when law was added and business to form which own up majority states of wealth in the country. The military then thought with the control of economy and 25% mandatory parliment will keep them in control. But the recent election and the pandemic had really show them they are not...

Former Colonial Anglo West has been consistently trying to divide Burma/Myanmar into pieces for ages. They have been watching and waiting for this opportunity at every corner and every turn in Myanmar's history since it gained Independence from Britain some seventy years ago. I may be wrong, but my gut feeling has been telling me this for a long time. Remember, Yugoslavia, the world leader of the Non-Aligned Movement during the Cold War, and what happened to that nation? Today, former Yugoslavia was divided and became six smaller nations, much thanks to the West. Slavery, Colonialism and Colonization, etc are evil things done and benefited by evildoers. In centuries-long old Colonial era, when the world was under Colonial Anglo Western control & influence; nations/ethnic groups in Asia, Africa, North & South America, were committing atrocities against one another (brother against brother, etc), all because Colonial West pit one group against another, which is the the ploy (such as, 'divide & conquer, divide & rule, divide & loot'), that were regularly used for their own Western advantages; what they call it, 'Anglo Western Interests'. It's all about 'Anglo Western Hegemony'. Do you know the fact that there are only two nations in the world that have been continuously engaged in fighting since WWII. They are USA and Myanmar. While wealthy USA, as a gang leader of Capitalist Imperialist Anglo West, would go all over the whole wide world to engage in wars, to loot bounties, and thus became evermore prosperous; impoverished Myanmar, on the other hand, is engaged in internal civil war, brother against brother, which causes everyone involved getting even more impoverished and destitute. So and so, this cycle of 'infighting and poverty' continues back and forth to this day. A sad truth indeed. Moreover, the Capitalist Imperialist West would go into the region/nation for their own interest, and then divide and conquer, divide and rule, divide and loot, pit one 'local group' against another. These 'local populace' that are used by the West or sided with the West, in the conflict/crisis/war, and when they are needed to be evacuated for one reason or the other, then the West will raise the issue about 'refugees'. This has been the case throughout history wherever the conflict the West is involved in. In fact, there were tens of millions of refugees here in the USA & other Western nations that the West brings in throughout history, past and present. Finally, Myanmar has had no politics for over two generations; so it's new for people there, young and old alike. In other words, it's easy to get fooled by the Capitalist Imperialist trick. Here in USA, the so-called 'Politics' is a little more than a 'Window Dressing' (mainly used by the wealthiest Capitalist/ the One Percent elite who are 'The Power That Be'/ the real ruler of the land), while 'Politicians' are merely 'Poster Boys' put it out as part of Democracy. Besides, Capitalist West's so-called 'Democracy, Freedom, and Human Rights', etc are just marketing terms used by the Rich/obscenely rich Capitalists from The Capitalist USA & the West to sell their game, subjugating the Poor throughout the whole wide world, and milking them for everything they can. In other words, Democracy, Freedom, and Human Rights are just marketing tools used by the Rich from the USA & the West to sell their game, subjugate and milk the Poor worldwide. In fact, a mere fifty (50) Capitalist elites from the USA & the West have more wealth than half the world population, which is nearly 4 billions.

Quite a bit of a comment you wrote! By the way just to let you know that I also read your other comment at kzhead.info/sun/gKp-ddGcgpSndX0/bejne.html with a great interest. Thanks man.

It's all about 'Anglo Western Hegemony'. " This ploy is still being used, including in Myanmar, to this day.
In my humble opinion, the coups in Myanmar and some others around the world today are totally different from the coups which took place over half a century earlier when newly independent nations, including Burma, just came out of centuries-long Colonialism, bitter and poverty-stricken, turned to a new deal of Social-Democratic system (Socialism/Communism). Today's coups, in most cases, are change in political system only, while economic system are mostly left intact.

Kind of lean on information, not even a name for who exactly is running the country.

Chinese comment bots get 50 cents for every comment they post. around 10 million works for social networking service comment part time job in china
China and Russia refused to condemn the coup in Myanmar delaying the intervention.
😭 no more words to say . Once our protector soldiers and policemen become rebel and lawless man now. People are scare and frighten . Soldiers enter citizen house and arrest people every night . Meanwhile policemen release prisoners and ordered them to violent and burn citizens house. Chaos every night.
Plz help Myanmar 😭
save myanmar please
Protests are banned in the UK, there is no freedom of speech or freedom of movement.
This is why the second amendment is so important.
Who the hell are the military protecting themselves against with all the arms and weapons its not like they are in an conflict region India China to strong Thailand Bangladesh are not warmongering countries.
We, people of Myanmar, are willing to see the real action not just sanctions as they are not very effective and we will support every action that UN and US take on terrorist dictatorship. Please save our futures 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Where was this energy when the rohingyas were screaming for help
@@shajaa6351 the army killed the rohinjyas, and now the army is back at it again to destroy myanmar
You talked like that, with that pfp?
Rohingya watches the news over the internet... Say hello to them.
The mafia is always interested in only one thing... MONEY
We need US,UK,India or Japan army to save our situation.Our people aren't safe at day and night.We cannot live with fear.Please world🙏🙏🙏
We all need to make a stand to show the government that we are indeed coming out of lockdown! We have the ability to make sensible decisions for our friends, colleagues, customers and loved ones. The government must end forthwith the cruel inhumane policies as well as the anti-democratic politics! We have had Enough of it!!
Help the Burmese people
‼️I would like to request one help from you... please tell the truth about our country if internet lines are all cut off . Myanmar 🇲🇲, our country is not safe anymore. We always have to be afraid what is gonna happen to us at night and in the morning as we don’t have a good leader. We used to have our hero leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who has been detained by Myanmar Military Coup since 1st Feb, 2021. We cannot sleep safely & soundly like we used to because Military soldiers release prisoners/inmates to attack civilians. They are asked to set fire up, break in to the houses at night and put poison in our drinking water. Citizens of Myanmar lost safetiness. We cannot sleep at night. Even polices and soldiers are harming people and we are feeling really helpless. I cannot think why they could do that to us. It makes my heart breaking into pieces. Please share this with the hashtag of ( what is happening in Myanmar) to be seen by your countries’ leaders. We really need immediate help and humanitarian needs from your leaders. Their helps and support will not only effect on me but also it will be effective to all my people who are living in Myanmar 🇲🇲. Save Myanmar with your supports, I will be very appreciate for your help. #HearTheVoiceOfMyanmar #RespectOursVotes #FakeRepresentative #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar #SaveMyanmarCitizens #SaveMyanmarDemocracy #saveBurma_frommilitarydictatorship #CivilDisobedienceMovement #We_need_democracy #Help_us_and_support_our_Leader #StayAtHome #PrayForOurLeader #AungSanSuKyi

Greetings from Sweden! Don't let these authoritarian dogs keep you in shackles, we stand with you, democracy will and must be victorious.
To people of Myanmar : stay strong and resist ; military rule for 70 years has harmed Myanmar enough
Please help Myanmar the military released the prisoners and transformed some of them into soldiers and spread some of them to the whole country
Answer : Power greed General
They deserve! If their democratic government is as bad as the military one and did genocide against helpless people I have no sympathy for them.
How much do we(Myanmar people) need to suffer to get help from the world ? How many do we(Myanmar people) need to die to get help from the world ? How many do we(Myanmar people) need to be injured to get help from the world ? How many do we(Myanmar people) need to be arrested to get help from the world ?
The Malaysia and Indonesian government has talk about the coup. I'm pretty sure both Indonesia and Malaysia will involved to help you
@@Malizi Thanks to all those who had helped us and thanks in advance to all those who are planning to help us. (Including Malaysia and Indonesia, of course )
Free democracy or face my wrath
We do't want Min Aung Hlaing ,the robber. We want US or UN military intervention as soon as possible. Pl come . Welcome.
As an American, I can tell you we don’t know sh!t about fixing this situation because we’ve never lived through it. Trust me, we’d still somehow be “fixing” the problem 20 years down the road lol.
@Saffy Hussian Suu cannot tell. She has been arrested. A lot guards watched her. She can't even move. this is not only my voice.the people of Myanmar's voice.
@Saffy Hussian who does she refer to?
@Saffy Hussian there are alot of reasons for that. People who sued should go against individuals not the government. That' s only one point.there are alot of this.they should sue the military only and she had already informed that we cannot command the military and Coffee Annun also reported UN that 2 governments in Myanmar.
I'm not going to war for Myanmar.
And 3 years later,its still happening. The military has destroyed many villages and we have killed many of them but since their soldiers are dying,they are forcing boys from 18-35 to become soldiers. They obviously are losing too much soldiers 🙄. Thank god my dad is over 40. But,my uncle who is 31 is in the list. They checked every houses for young boys. My uncle is very worried as he doesnt want to join it. He is planning on suiC(i)De. I told him to hang on and we will figure everything out. I rlly dont want to lose my uncle♡hes the most hardworking teacher i know!
They need to cover their tracks and cut any lose ties who were involved in or supporting of the Rohingya genocide. The distraction seemed to be working well.
Situation in Myanmar (Feb 13, 9:00pm)🚨🚨🚨 Night are not safe anymore with serious violation of Basic Human Rights in Myanmar 🔴1️⃣🔴⚖️⚖️⚖️ The military just announced that they invoke article 419 to revoke article 5, 7 and 8 of 2008 constitution (basic human rights protection of the people ). The effects are: 1) they can arrest without warrants; 2) they can search the houses without the presence of the ward administrative officer; 3) they can track people down; 4) they can seek for information from the operators; 5) they can detain people for more than 24 hours. According to those, they can go in and out every house without any permission or warrent, and they can search everywhere and can arrest everyone. 🔴2🔴🔥🔥🔥🚒🚒🚒 The military released the prisoners yesterday. The released prisoners tried to poison the apartment water tanks in several townships during night time. Yesterday Night Released prisoners throw "Fire Rings" and burning in most streets of Tharkayta, Yangon around 8:30PM. 🔴3🔴☠️☠️☠️☠️🤢🤢🤢 Tonight the prisoners were putting poison in the drinking water pipes of apartments in NgaMoeYeik Township. Myanmar people have to build barriers around the streets or wards to protect themselves from the criminals released from prisons by the military. Local people arrest them and ask the prisons about who order them to do it. #whatishappeninginmyamar #HumanRightsViolations #coup13feb #RejectMilitaryCoup
So much for the title of the video, the reason they acted was because the nld was trying to get the military out of power, after that they would be open to arrest.
Curse on Military Dictatorship

Let’s make noise like real war for Myanmar protesters❤️❤️💙🥰👼👼💯
@Saffy Hussian there’s no time to ask why help spread message blades!!!😇🙏🙏🇲🇲‼️‼️🏁🏁🇲🇲🇺🇸
Keep protesting guys or Myanmar will never be good as usual for centuries!!!👹👹🤬🤬☠️🖤❤️💯
@@omarmkumbe9870 need more than that they even need to give people lands back or all if they don’t know how to serve the people of the country of Myanmar!!
People who are saying that it's karma for Burma who had been silencing about genocide, you should know that we didn't support the genocide and the military who did that case. We only supported Our Leader Suu Kyi who tried to solve that case and clear the rumors about accusing Burma wrongly. You must know that Under the military government, Rohingya will be more worse than that happened in the past. So, you all shouldn't blame us and should help us to get out of this shit so that things will not be getting worse than Rohingya case.
