Who’s Counting Myanmar’s Casualties?
No one knows for sure, but a group that tracks every blood‑shed that the army that’s been raiding homes today thinks is its own official tally says the total number of innocent folks who’re gone is over a thousand.
Why the Army Refuses to Own Up
- They’re saying the numbers are inflated.
- They keep claiming they’ve killed dozens of their own mercenaries – not counted in the protest deaths.
- In outbreaks of wild protests and border skirmishes, the country’s economy looks like a broken vending machine.
What the Narrative Says About the Real Deal
In August, the same army that tore down Aung San Suu Kyi’s democratically‑won government in November 2020 is still telling the world that it’s not a coup at all – but rather a “constitutional” power shift. The brag goes back to a 2020 election that the National League for Democracy party called clean, a claim far more convincing for international watchdogs and in an almost short of a really long line of evidence. The military’s denial is all the more absurd when the peace and security platform of a nation keeps turning into a place where badly out‑paced strikes attack businesses on the run.
Quelle de la Mort
For all our own stupid calculations, Tate Naing – one of the radicals of the Assistance Association of Political Prisoners (AAPP) – has said “the death toll is high and the numbers are definitely wrong. The army says it’s a rebellion war, but they keep ignoring the soldiers that they killed themselves.
Summary
- Over 1,000 deaths, with the army’s own blow‑ups ignored.
- Protests keep on coming and don’t let any leader get off the ground.
- The mass movement of a population that has turned the whole country into a state of “shit,” reflecting problems in the last crisis we faced, for it was serious, whereas other people are simply interfering.
