The military takeover in Myanmar has passed the one-month mark and the situation remains volatile, dangerous, and escalating. On 27 February, reports from the non-profit media organization Democratic Voice of Burma stated that Myanmar security forces had fired live ammunition at people participating in the widening Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM), killing 19 in nine cities, with another 10 deaths unconfirmed.

Groups of Buddhist monks took to the streets of Myanmar’s two largest cities, Yangon and Mandalay, on Tuesday, marching in protest against the military takeover of the country’s government and calling for the release of ousted State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi.
Speaking to foreign media in Yangon (formerly Rangoon), the monks called on local residents and the international community to support the pro-democracy movement. “I would like to request that all citizens help eliminate the power of the military dictatorship until we can get rid of this system,” one of the monks, Sandar Thiri, was quoted as saying.
