#Myanmar 🇲🇲 BREAKING: #AungSanSuuKyi has been arrested alongside the country's President according to her party the #NLD.

It seems that the military is commiting a coup.
Unlike before it will be very hard for #AungSanSuuKyi and the #NLD to profile themselves as champions of democracy in #Myanmar 🇲🇲.

In the short period that they were in a shared position of power they allowed the #Rohingya genocide to take place and defended the perpetrators.
That being said the actions of the #Tatmadaw are clearly a coup and the international community should retaliate.

The people of #Myanmar 🇲🇲 deserve better than to go back to the dark days of military totalitarianism.
#Myanmar 🇲🇲: according to reports many more people are being arrested tonight by the #Tatmadaw military. This includes ministers, #NLD figures, regional governors, students leaders.

It's a classic coup.
#Myanmar 🇲🇲: internet is down too. #coup https://twitter.com/netblocks/status/1356029387133562880?s=19
#Myanmar 🇲🇲: video taken in the hours before the #coup shows military vehicles speeding down the highway towards the capital #Naypyidaw
#Myanmar 🇲🇲: list of arrests continues to grow.

It seems no critic of the #Tatmadaw is safe at this point https://twitter.com/Rangoon_Film/status/1356031672429502465?s=19
#Myanmar 🇲🇲: as the sun rises over the country the first pictures appear of military roadblocks, like here in the city #Mandalay
