The bloody suppression of the Myanmar military forces has killed more than 180 citizens since the coup. As the sacrifices increased, the Myanmar democratic camp warned of a possible civil war. There is still only a slingshot in the hands of citizens, but depending on the situation, it is possible to hold a gun.

At first, the military seemed to be cautious, but now they are running bloody and violent suppression day after day. On the 14th, about 70 people died a day. As the number of victims surged, the UN envoy on the side of advisor Aung San Soo-chi warned of a possible civil war for the first time.
On the 15th, the special envoy of Sasa said, “If we fail to form the United Nations forces that press the Myanmar military in the near future, the biggest civil war we have ever seen could happen.” Democratic citizens can fight against the military by uniting with armed minorities. Shortly after the remarks, the Myanmar military prosecuted the envoy for treason.

Judge’s special envoy warned the military on the same day that he would be arrested and killed like Libya’s Gaddafin, Iraq’s Hussein, and al-Qaeda leader bin Laden. Eventually, the coup-led forces will be arrested and executed by the militia, or will face a miserable end by the US military.
Judge’s special envoy said, “If the bloodshed continues without strong measures from the international community, the people of Myanmar must defend themselves. “How many dead bodies are needed for the international community to intervene in this situation?”
