‘Myanmar Army Day’ is a’Resistance Day’ commemorating the day Myanmar began armed resistance against the Japanese forces that occupied it during World War II in 1945. Since then, after the military government came to power in a coup in 1962, the name was changed to’Myanmar Army Day’.
On local social media, scenes of military and police indiscriminately shooting at pedestrians, cars, and motorcycles are being uploaded one after another, creating resentment.
