About 550 dead in 2 months since coup. Surprised it took so long to cut off internet.

I wish I could say Myanmar was strategic enough where we would put our (and coalition's) troops in harm way and restore democracy ... but it isn't. I would love to visit Myanmar someday.

Myanmar’s wireless broadband internet services were shut down on Friday by order of the military, local providers said, as protesters continued to defy the threat of lethal violence to oppose the junta’s takeover.

The coup reversed years of slow progress toward democracy in Myanmar, which for five decades languished under strict military rule that led to international isolation and sanctions. As the generals loosened their grip, culminating in Aung San Suu Kyi’s rise to leadership in 2015 elections, the international community responded by lifting most sanctions and pouring investment into the country.
