You know? Myanmar new government close the internet all city and town in Myanmar. Now my biggest fear has come, my biggest fear is no WiFi.

I was right, she always had no power, even if she wanted to do something, the military was always watching her.

[tsurin-]

Myanmar is still under military rule? I hope everythings okay 😢

[KN-cltu]

Once again she is put under house arrest, wonder how long before she can be in the outside world again

[yongjianyi]

The military giveths in 2016, and in 2021, the military takeths. It was never her choice to make.

I just love it comments here how they support Aung San Suu Kyi and forgotten the atrocities she did to Muslims in Burma
Aung San Suu Kyi the Asian version of Hitler !

[burn]

She's done nothing to stop Rohingya's sufferings and deny soldier's killings...well no pity for her.

[ZamoraHandsome]

Ugh not again. Today they shut down FaceBook😣😩

[luxannefelix]

I hope people can see that the tragic rohingya situation is in no way linked to ASSK. She is powerless against the military and now this coup d'état is sufficient proof.

[famisoul]

She was only a puppet to the Junta, and there’s no real life Rainbow to save her.

[timt]

From kindergarten to I married, I only know she famous for being held in lock up....

Admin: please do no delete this post! Thi is an urgent message that I've been sending as a cry out for help.

The military of my country has detained our country's democratic government, the party leaders, and our state counsellor Daw Aung San Su Kyi.

This is a breach in democracy in world's history and soon the Burmese Military will cut off all phones and internet across my nation.

To all my international friends, please be aware of what's happening in my country and help us condemting this thoughtless action by the military.

[TTS]

suppression ! suppression ! thats why decentralization is so important !

[mickysureanto]

Madam Aung unfortunately is just a symbolic freedom figure.. I don't think she and her team have done anything significant to change the livelihood of the common people!

[nihleigleca]

All those moral "compromises" and for what?

[htethtetshwe]

As a Myanmar citizen, I want to speak out the truth to the whole world . The only thing we want right now is "Genuine Democracy".We don't ever need such a shameless Burmese Military! We need justice for our elected government. We, myanmar citizens, want our leader Daw Aung San Su Kyi back!!!

[wayquanle]

We have to factor in Aung San age.
Things in Myanmar cannot be based on Aung San hey days.

[tyto]

Burmese people don't accept a military coup. People have been protesting peacefully through "Civil Desobidence" with stay at home only. We clearly don't agree current situation. We will always stand by the organization led by Aung San Suu Kyi.

Thailand also like dat few years ago ...

[hyouzanren]

No wonder she cant do anything about rohingya, ... SHE NEVER HAD POWER IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!
