Part 11/18:
Despite the repression, opposition continues to grow. From Yangon to ethnic regions, the population's resistance manifests through mass protests, civil disobedience, and grassroots activism. Thinza Shinlai vividly described the current mood as one of collective rebellion—people have "never seen such a crowd" before—and emphasize unity across different ethnicity and social backgrounds.
The protests are not merely about political leadership but reflect frustrations with decades of military domination, economic hardship, and social injustice. Ordinary citizens, young activists, and civil society organizations actively challenge the legitimacy of martial law, embodying a collective desire for long-delayed democratic change.
