One year after the 22222 Strike, Myanmar people are still protesting against the military coup. The time of mass street protests in Myanmar may be over for now, mainly due to the brutality of the military regime, but still thousands of people took it to the streets today, despite the concrete risk of being killed or arrested. Today’s 222222 (02.2.2022) Strikes are even more significant, because they are proof of the strength of the Resistance.
The fire of the Revolution is still burning
