In this episode of my podcast, I interview my student, Aung Khant (name  altered for his safety), who is a Myanmar national, about the recent  coup by the military junta in Myanmar, which placed head of state, Aung  San Suu Kyi under arrest and challenged the recent democratic elections  based upon false claims of election fraud.  There are now massive  protests in Myanmar against the military coup, all of which are  peacefully executed, but the military has engaged in violent and  tyrannical tactics against its own people, much like organized crime.   My student, Aung, talks about how the Myanmar people have very little in  the way of resources, or even weapons to defend themselves against a  corrupt regime that is now killing people.  The military already waged a  war against one of its ethnic minorities, the Rohingya, but now it is  perpetrating crimes against the majority of its citizens as a way to  maintain its power.  But the people of Myanmar are very passionate about  restoring their democracy and are well organized even without clear cut  leaders of their movement.  They are asking for the world's attention  and help in restoring their democracy and restoring the peace that was  taken from them by a corrupt military regime that has benefited only a  few individuals.     Please view the following resources:    https://www.cfr.org/interview/how-myanmars-military-wields-power-shadows https://foreignpolicy.com/2021/02/16/myanmar-rohingya-coup-buddhists-protest/   Please like, subscribe, and follow the hashtags:  #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar #SaveMyanmar   Thank you,  Dr. Arik Greenberg www.DrArikGreenberg.com
