 Yangon: Protesters against Myanmar's military takeover took to the streets on Thursday as the country's second-largest security forces tried to resist them armed.


  Mandale neighborhood where a police state railway workers demonstrated both block and a new military government in the conflict are beginning to focus on growing the business and government organizations that are helping to keep the economy running.

 

  On Sunday, state railway workers in Myanmar called for a strike and joined a well-organized civil unrest led by medical workers and overthrew the elected civilian government, the backbone of resisting the February 1 coup.


  Many workers and citizens in Myanmar believe that the junta is a good way for which CDM is very effective, "he said.

 

  "That's why employees from health, education, transport, various government departments and banks are participating in the CDM together." The rail strike received support from ordinary citizens. Who sit in positions on railway tracks to stop trains directed to the military.

 

  Attempts by Mandalay residents to block a railroad on Wednesday apparently triggered earlier retaliation.

 

  The curfew began at about eight o'clock in the night, and in less than an hour, and about a dozen policemen were there with their weapons.

 


  The shooting went viral on social media. Slingshots are shown firing and throwing stones at buildings. Cadence calls of "left, right, left, right" can be heard with shouts of "Shoot, shoot". It has been claimed that rubber bullets are used.

 

  The junta says it has seized power - calling for the arrest of parliamentary leader Aung San Suu Kyi and others, but is opposed to it because the November election was marred by vote rigging. It replaces the Election Commission, which Suu Kyi's party has won by a wide margin, and says it will hold new elections within a year.

 

  The coup has prompted the Biden government to impose new US sanctions on Myanmar, and the United Nations and other governments have called for the reinstatement of Suu Kyi's elected government.

 

  Opponents of the coup have called for a severance of ties with Myanmar's foreign trade. They believe it will benefit the military.

 

  Nearly 200 people demonstrated near Canbuck in the south of the country on Thursday, outside an outpost involved in a major pipeline operation that pumps gas for foreign exports.

 

  The demonstrators moved between Total France's compound, Thailand's PTTEP and Malaysia's Petronas, and later joined Kanbau with a larger anti-coup protest.

  The extraction industry, such as gas and oil drilling and jade mining, is Myanmar's main source of foreign income. Rights advocates have appealed to foreign companies involved in those industries to stop paying revenue to the new military government.

  The Myanmar Alliance for Transparency and Accountability stated that any payments would harm "efforts by the people of Myanmar to bring the country back to democracy" and instead provide the military with human rights abuses. The coalition has called on companies to release revenue only to democratically elected governments.


  Street protests continued in other cities as well. However, small groups, including several men dressed as Buddhist monks, attacked several drivers and their vehicles.

 

  The court yard became a battlefield.

  State television on Wednesday charged several prominent entertainers, including actors-directors, all of whom were publicly supporters of the protests, under a law that seeks to prevent members of the military and government employees from performing their duties.

 

  Apparently the entertainers were accused of persuading government employees to resign - and the move reflected the junta's concern about the widespread involvement of civilian employees in the protests.

 

  On Wednesday night, the military ordered an Internet blackout for a fourth day in a row - almost completely blocking online access from 1 a.m. to 9 p.m.
