For some context the most recent tweets from Myanmar will be from 2021 because the military rulers blocked Twitter and Instagram until further notice. Aung San Suu Kyi, the former State Councilor of Myanmar and Minister of Foreign Affairs tweeted, “In the history of human race, every evil regime is overcome by the forces of good. If they could do it.. We BURMESE can certainly do it too.” There was a picture of Hitler and three other dictators attached to the tweet. This was the last Tweet that was written before she was arrested, and Twitter was blocked there. This is important because she was comparing the coup to other dictatorships that plagued history. We can currently see what is happening there to see that this situation is turning into a repressive dictatorship.
Thein Sein, the 8th President of Myanmar tweeted, “In North Korea, soldiers smash bricks and bend iron bars with bare hand bbc.in/3AznSjf ) but in Myanmar , soldiers crush skulls and break limbs of unarmed civilians. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar” on October 13, 2021. This clearly shows that he is not fond of the military force that is being used to persecute the people of Myanmar. He is currently living in silence in that state, and I wonder why he was not arrested by the new government as he could be seen as a potential opponent of the government.
