Protest are revolutionaries, and also work with peoples goal for the fashion of their soldiers and police from the military. And our last guest in omar, thank you. Are welcome to the stream. Please introduce yourself to our viewers around the world. Thank you for having me. My name is kin omar. I been a long term human rights and democracy activists from my bro, my since 1988 as i was a part of organizing the well known, nationwide pro democracy, appraising, known as the 888. Currently im the chair of the Human Rights Research and Advocacy Organization called progressive voice. We are going in my human organization. Thanks. I have an eagle view as youve met your panel. Let me tell you what the key question is that were talking about on youtube. So you can be right in the comments section, section, talent, mia mars, proud democracy, activists in jor, military pressure. That is the conversation were going to be having next 20 minutes or so. Surely, let me start with you. Weve been seeing extraordinary, very, very chummy pictures of the Russian Foreign minister meeting of the head of the me a more military on wednesday local time. When you see these pictures were showing you some of them that relationship between russia and mia mall. What does that do to what is actually happening down on the ground that theres an ally there for me . Im all for sure. And vice versa for russia. So the Russia Foreign minister, and i think this is a 1st trip to me and mark that this is not the 1st sort of trip bind. They rush, you know, weapons aches and there are also Different Military to them. But this is a fact impasse and meet in person. This is to me, m r. And when i see that pitch has that be a heavy now, you know, lively conversations between these 2 dictators, totally insulting the people of them are not just the people, but also to ask. Yeah. And also do the region in asia because right now the flooring, so minutes start meeting happening. And at the same time the restaurant for a minute start came in. You are to be installed directly with your marketers near my point. So clearly this is a sign also at the same time, the Chinese Foreign minister also whats the need, you know, the capital c d not long ago and now restaurants already. Yeah. And we dont know what will happen next. This is totally consenting for democracy. Forces in the region also in the stage. So oh my as a contrast and just looking at chris gun, it says tweet here from the me him accountability project. This is what chris says. So good to see me, him out empty seat at the at the and meeting. But an empty chair is an empty gesture unless it is backed up with meaningful economic sanctions. And diplomatic measures such as recognition of the and this is the National Unity government that is was put together when the military coup happened. Im just going to scout screw up a little bit so you can actually see the empty chair there. So how do you have an assay and Peace Process with assay and not at oh with me and ill look at the assay, im meeting of for ministers. How is that possible, oma . On the 1st of all the us he and make this decision not to alarm there. The leaders of the qu, to attend the some. Its are some of the, the top level top political meetings. And since last year, october, that was a good decision. It was a good a ride to reach is that its a direct a decision in the right direction. So for us its good to see the honda is not there because they dont belong there. This seat belongs to the people in my, in, in, in that sense it is for the nation that unity government, the peoples elected, legitimate government to take a seat to represent the people on the emma. So for in that sense, as he and made a good decision. But like chris said, thats not enough at all because i see in, in fact made this a 5 point consensus. Which the, you know, like i last year, more than a year now that they made such decision. And in that decision all along has failed. So while we see is there with this fight, why consensus decision from there i see in the hunter is hiding behind . And actually it is a time delay. Ted take for the hunter to be able to continue to commit these atrocity crimes that they are doing against the people on me and my so the i c, n must wake up now. You know, well before things getting way too late because now i see and is left with very little credibility. You know, when it comes to me and my so they really need to not only leave the seat empty, but they need to actually invite the National Unity government and walk with the mission and you know the government to solve the crisis at. Nathan, i totally agree. With the all mean, im lucky in all the International Community, especially the us, you, china, india, and japan must realize the, the, the normal military is not the part of the solution. The military is so if they so soft go through it. So the, so if all the nation are right now, if a time to recognize the new g as a legitimacy, government obama, and also engage with the abolitionist revolutionary forces, known as like, you know, e, r. All. So that is the only way for the boss rifle way for the bama to be solved. Nathan, im thinking if the military is not part of the solution. So if that empty chair is a metaphor for they do not deserve to be at the table. And then you go to the National Unity government. Its not no war nathan, that youre suggesting. Im suggesting that the, you know, not good, not only the recognize the military and the military, but also to recognize the fully later to make paula to the new government. So im talking about the future, but the, the current situation, the International Community food to recognize the true solution for the country. Because you know, against this backdrop. So theres no way to do that. No, were not doing the business as a normal for the International Community issue in the state map, you know, expressed their concern show and you know, theyre watching the situation closely is not very helpful. I think enough enough just im surely its simply here that i want to share with you for my you chief audience. Im just going to include some of that thoughts. Why is russia supporting me . Amal briefly . Surely. Thoughts . Oh, thats obvious that russia been by game jamara. Yeah. My military, them before it was military, you know, taking over the whole country and in 2010 we had 1st ever saw election led by the military and after that, people or people keep demanding democracy. Democracy at the same time now military trying to attend the crew again and now he has again, the road. Also russia and china come back and come back and see us. Similarly, there its boarding, they are dictatorship, but not just they are system, but also the civilians, equipment and also funding the military in the emr to hold the power. And thus clearly the reason that the out begging them are military for a long time. And at the same time with that, u. S. U. S, trying to, you know, come up at the, in the Association Region and then russia is coming now to, you know, kind of challenging the us and also to ma credit. Occasionally. That means that im going to try to get some more who was in, cuz ive got they want to talk to all of the, all of the guess. This is a one for you that im going to show you. Oh, i see i could be a force in the region if they were active about human rights. Oh, mom we thoughts . Oh yes, definitely. Ive been involved in developing this as the and community for a long time actually. And its been really disappointed in hong the se, and has become more of like this on to chrissy the club of audio crazy rather than club of democracy or the, you know, for the, for the b ball. So its, its the, you know, the c, n has such, for example, inside bought a body, they called as the human rights commission, right. Or the refugee with alex or women and children wise Protection Commission for example. But these all are under the control of the government and independent we what we need is the human rights bodies that are independent and impartial. And yet this region completely lack such bodies. And therefore, we couldnt bring the such great Human Rights Violations happening in all countries. Not only in the mob room, but also i can come bodya allows vietnam, we were not able to bring it up to the regional body. And in fact, we call as paper tiger, because that is no deep nathan, i have one more thought from you from our viewers who are watching our conversation right now. I am worried for the people after they have declared a state of emergency. This is an extension of the state of emergency thats been going on for over a year. If they protest, they will be hurt. Nathan, you know all too well. What being heard and being tortured is like yeah, you know, anyone can be killed the gun, flying off to him. A soldier anytime that is the best pitcher i could give it to you and now for what is happening on bumble. So, you know, you know, since the and constitutional cool. So does the military in turn, the whole country for all being still into it, kills to a diverse, did a one with the go there and you know, with the golf list and keel. So the people are now fighting but so you know, thats be, you know, they are taken by the whole country. So that is, that clearly demonstrated that the we of the people must be russ. But so in this situation if any one or any gantry consider support did them your mom military a c q ship and the committee in the wall, crime and sirius, you know the crimes against humanity. I mean, that is the very shameful, you know, more man for the history war history. She lay one of the things that we really wanted to make sure that we addressed today was how the people of me am, are a handling the additional pressure from the military. Are you seeing a different kind of tactic or strategy in the military are using now . The state of emergency has been extend of a gang, which means that they do not have control of the country. Where are we now in this movement, back to democracy or the movement for the military to try and secure the country . So this august, 8th, where march, 34 years of you know, anniversary of the 888 for a to have allusions. And so, you know, weve been seeing in, on tremendous amount of like crimes against humanity was crime in different areas. Even in, in the revolution they have kill countless through and lead us, you know, of walk us civilians, all of it. And now theyre flying to say almost similar, but now even more rudo like they are, you, they skulk our policy nationwide. Theyve been bending down different houses, more than 10000 houses were banned villages, the whole village. This was gulch, you know, for an art. And at the same time, we have a secured us for political prison and more prison are more political activists are in line to be executed and they use them more and more brutal. Well for example, a special volumes in different coughlin. So at one end of the war and the terror campaign, you know, nationwide. So i would say they been using more and more tactic. But the same thing is, is the fear, you know, the trying to stay fear to the people. And now this is different in 2020, why is, is the young people expose is to the internet and using different create a way to to counter is not physical who is also a digital qu. So the young people using different way to counter, at the same time, not to come during the game, you know, we are trying to form our own game. So we are, we were tired of playing along with the are game including the, to the out the constitution. Just today the young people bend down to the quest, the jewish and in the on the street. Oh yeah. Go. You know that clearly speaking all that, surely we dont say were, were, were forming our own game. I want to hear a little bit more about that. But 1st im going to go via the project manager about a full wrap against the hunter. Its a group of creative, a group of artists. You will see that his face is covered, obviously for safety reasons. But this is as the spirit of the resistance in miramar, or at least one side of it. Lets have a listen. Lets have a look. The more me a more to a g p u a b is in say oh oh no law. Yeah, we got a motion for a diesel issue. Oh wow. Oh course. Yeah. You can see how the problem not a so i, i hear that hate coming from the resistance. But i also hear that coming from the military leadership as well. Im just going to play this to you, oma and i really like you to unpack it for us to wait the way that the military is, is thinking about the way ahead for them. This is the military lead at men on line talking about the extension at the state of emergency, oma mannered. I went out on their team. I made utmost efforts in discharging the states duties with might and main, but internal and external terrorists, and that conspirator, person is, and organizations are committed to the utter devastation rather than the flourishing of democracy and me. And my demography trunk are you did was a semi 1st of all we all have to be very clear is that this military is and has never been won for love, but it is an institution. They teach their soldiers to hate the people they teach soldiers to hate their people with their believe in democracy. Um and, and also a disaster military who has never believed in dialogue either and our country for many times have tried peace negotiations. Dialogue with this military to have a political settlement. That is a say in an hour long Democracy Movement and a movement for the ethnic rides and equality. The political crisis must be off with a political solution. And all the actors involved have trying all along. But we always face the bottom line, we go back to the square one and square 0 all the time is because this military dont believe in dialogue and also would be what they want is they are ongoing power an iron grip over the country. But not only in politics, but is actually is economy because we are of a country unfortunately, or fortunately, or unfortunately, were, well a country, very res, with natural resources. It is an a resource cars because this military know that, you know, they can, they can actually grip a bit, this an economy web and a person, a wealth from, from that, the natural resources. So what they do is they know that they can not let go of their power. So no matter at what cause they will continue to remain. And thats a very reason would tell me the un and Security Council. And i see and look, this military, if me, than solution it lies with the people on the, on my and people am, i have already fall last 18 months, at least continuously showed, was what they want. And also what they are trying, sacrificing everything of their life. Especially the young generation. So with town in the u. N. And the us, he and his like, you must actually come to, the reality grew up on the reality is that near my will only move forward when this military is dismantled and broad and the civilian administration. Civilian control. Thats the only way for them to move forward. And the Security Council really needs to act. And if Security Council cannot act because of china and russia, but again, we need the other democratic countries like the u. S. Government you and you k and australia and japan user let form a like minded, a like minded, a group, and eck on with responsibility to protect. They need to protect the people at numa, because people out there might have been protecting themselves and defending. We know of this militarys of but very involved and for the last 18 years i and all the time theres no waiting. And then do an reading need to and, and the at u. S. Government also need to impose sanctions on the that him out while and guess i thank you out with my i, when i had allowed a few minutes with nathan nathan, i feel you will be aware of shown crispin sean chris bennett, from the committee to protect journalists this is how he sums up that the media landscape a, me, him, all right. Now id love to hear your thoughts of the back of this because oversee journalism media. A free fat press is really vital for any county that wants to quote itself democratic. He shall, mia mars media faces an unprecedented crisis since military coup makers have moved to stifle independent news report inside the country. Since last years qu, publications have been banned, journalists have been jailed and even in instances im killed while in military custody. We see this as a concentrated and targeted campaign against the free press to stifle news reporting to effectively outlaw independent media precisely at a time as the qu, makers are being accused of extraordinary rights abuses across the country. Nathan, yes, i totally agree. What the, what a chance, you know, you know, if you, if you look at the whole, you know, but draw in the, in what happened in the last 18 months. So the media is no, no longer is there to do to report it was the a c and you know what is happening in bomb bomb know, you know, why do live, that is what happened. And actually the rest is done is growing, you know, do live really the bama. So we, we will see that there is a kind of like a 2nd, you know, in the find a movie, you know, soon after like 75 years, you know, with the conflict. So the people are now the protest in against me and my military in the 3 different way with the peaceful protests the, you know, pops on pounds, you know, as also the silence drive. And also the why got in the military brought to including the c, d. C, a disobedient movement. And also, theyre taking the struggle against the military, you know, under the guidance of the admonition, you know, revolutionary flows, the finally, they all ask in the wall, not to give the legitimacy, not to recognize the military as a government. So we have be 18 months to see what is up on the if the, you know, the revolutionary law that, that is happening, involved law. So the war stay, watch him. You know, let me ask you a question because weve got one minute left. I want to ask you as a journalist on our panel, this question have a look here, my laptop. Again, this recalling what we off the very beginning of the show. Can me miles pro democracy activists in jor, military pressure. This is a one sentence art nathan, but youre a journalist.
