Since the February 1, when the Myanmar military overthrew the newly elected government and representatives of Parliament, massive street protests have erupted in cities across the country. These protests have taken on a civil disobedience character to force the military out of power. Despite the peaceful nature of the protests, the military has used violence to stop the protests with March 3 being the bloodiest with 38 protesters killed by military forces. We speak with Sai Sam Phon Seng, international secretary of the Shan Nationalities League for Democracy (SNLD) to discuss the ongoing protests in his country, where it is headed, and how people outside the country can show their support for this democratic and popular movement.
