  • Very fortunate to be able to conduct a remote Q+A session with Nay Myo Zin, a former Myanmar Army officer who then went on to work as a democracy activist, spending long periods in jail before recently joining the anti-junta resistance forces in Burma.
    And apologies to Nay Myo Zin for any mistakes in my subtitles.

    As an Australian it's sad to see how our Government does not show support for the rights of freedom of countries that are our neighbours.

    Fingers all crossed for you on this one Ed. I really hope your audience take the time to listen to Nay's story & share it. Nay tries his best to explain a really hot mess.
    No faith can be put in the West [eg Australia] helping, it won't happen. But I am equally uncertain how much faith can ever be put in Thailand, they are busy double dealing with the CCP. India, oth, has the means to sort it out & is a friend.
    It may end up a choice between India & the CCP for Burma. My hope is that India comes out swinging for the Burmese people one day soon, as the CCP will want a dictator they can deal with. It's a terrible mess, I hope the conscription backfires, it is a risky move. Cheers Ed & love to Burma.

      India is the most unreliable partner of all despite being a democratic country. China does not care about Myanmar's political system as long as it serves China's interests. Meanwhile India has been supporting the junta all this time, At least China has called for change

    I admire the people of Myanmar for taking a stand and fighting for a better future for themselves. I can't imagine how difficult a decision it must be to take up arms, knowing the scars it may leave on your home. But I appreciate how necessary it is, knowing how much deeper the scars of dictatorship leave.
    We who live in democratic states already need to shame our leaders into remembering why it is important to support those who struggle every day to obtain the freedoms we so readily take for granted. Those who battle for their right to have their fair say know all too well how quickly the black rot of authoritarianism seeps into our society and destroys all we hold dear.
    For everyone out there who doesn't know what they can do to support the people of Myanmar, simply have a conversation with a friend, a family member, or anyone willing to listen, and tell them about their struggle for a better life. Our words have power and a simple conversation will spread until it reaches the ears of those who have the ability and will to give the freedom fighters what they need to achieve success.

    that it *can* be vanquished.

    I get he's putting up an optimistic front, but I'd like to hear more on how well the various resistance groups work together and if they have compatible goals. It seems there is a real possibility that if the junta falls the groups could devolve into separate mini states.

    I recommend you touch base with 2 different commentators ( Preston Stewart and David Zhang ) whose commentaries vary but overlap yours slightly. I believe you all compliment each other in balanced eye on the world .
    Some of the subjects you all cover overlap . And you all diverge into different areas as well .

      Just go ahead and admit you're jealous of someone who is multilingual. As with many public interviews of celebrities and politicians, interview questions are routinely submitted to the interviewee in advance. The man is director of recruiting and appears to be a public face of the movement. It's completely sensible he wrote down his responses in advance to be sure he made them understandable in a language that is not his primary one.

      @@BklynMassive I'm not sure if your being deliberately obtuse or are just new and unfamiliar with Ed's channel? Ed is one of the few covering the conflict in Myanmar. He has close relations with some of the Karen groups. While I don't think he visited to participate as he did with the Kurds, if I remember correctly he has been there. I'm also not sure why you are in support of a military dictatorship that overthrew a democraticly elected government. Additionally, much like the Kurds, western powers have used the Karens and then cast them aside. In an ideal world, there is a moral obligation to help them.

      Politicians listen.

      To give common people
      A roof over their heads
      Clothes to warm them
      Food on the table
      Simple wants, simple needs
      Not throw bombs at your own people.
      You must be demented
      To kill your own people
      You have no right to rule.
      Fuck off the face of this world.
