Myanmar’s wireless broadband internet services have been shut down by order of the military, as protesters continue to defy the junta.

Protesters in Myanmar on Thursday marked two months since the military seized power by again defying the threat of lethal violence and demonstrating against its toppling of the country's democratically elected government.

A directive from the Ministry of Transport and Communications on Thursday instructed that “all wireless broadband data services be temporarily suspended until further notice,” according to a statement posted online by local provider Ooredoo.

About 3,000 Karen fled to Thailand, but many returned under unclear circumstances. Thai authorities said they went back voluntarily, but aid groups say they are not safe and many are hiding in the jungle and in caves on the Myanmar side of the border.

Doing the right thing witch everyone knows that means putting armed forces one the ground. But because there is no vested interest in that country . The world powers are just shaking their heads and sitting on their hands 🙌.
