In many areas of Myanmar, the internet is cut. Again, we are being silenced.

This means there are a lot of events that are not being reported, and we are not getting news as quick as we have at the start of the coup.

The situation is not better, in fact, it's far worse. I wish I could have told the world 'YES, we have gained freedom! We have finally kicked the god-damned terrorist out of their hiding holes, innocent lives are not going to be gone, and WE have WON!' but the death tolls have risen. Over 100 people were killed within one day. The total number of civilians killed are estimated to be around 700. With the internet blockage, the real number can be much much higher.

It's incredibly nice that the interview with CNN reporter Clarissa Ward and her team were able to shed the light on the true voices of our heart, but we still need to be louder. There are bombs exploding in the middle of cities, many people are being forced out of their homes, and more are on the run.

Through all this, your voice still matters. It almost seems like a reblog won't make that much difference, but it does. It does. This not only gives us support and tells us that you are standing with us, this shows the world that citizens of different countries are standing with us. This is the strong message we need for governments to act together, and take action.

Us, the people of Myanmar, will not back down in this fight for justice. Since February 1, there was only one thing we knew we were going to do. Fight for our freedom, or die.

We will keep on protesting. We will keep the Civil Disobedience Movement alive. We will keep posting and retweeting because we still believe. And we still have us. Most of all, we want a just system. We want democracy because we trust that democracy is a just system. What is happening in our country is not bound to the square meters of land and a group of millions of people. This fight of ours is an answer to the state of our world: will justice or injustice prevail?

And we want to write history as a world where justice wins.
