Let me tell you, in February 2021, the army of Myanmar had taken over the power of the country in a coup. Since then, protests against military rule have been taking place in the country. The army is using force on the people to suppress these demonstrations. So far, more than 3,000 civilians are estimated to have been killed in the army’s action.
