Rebels in Myanmar | DW Documentary

- Naing Myel Htet Kyaw says: “We must take up arms. My parents support that.” The 18-year-old is fighting against the military in Myanmar.
He’s one of the youngest in the rebel force that has taken shape since the 2021 military coup in Myanmar. Many of those flocking to the armed resistance are quite young. Some have traded their school uniforms and classrooms for arms and a jungle camp to carry on the struggle against the country’s military rulers. They see themselves as essentially pro-democratic forces, but they haven’t hesitated to resort to brutal guerilla tactics. Dennis and Patrick Weinert report from the embattled rebel territories and meet up with fighters at one of the resistance’s secret bases.

These are extremely brave people, it’s hard to think that we’re around the same age. Much love from the US.
We don’t love these commies here lol

Thanks Us
The only support for Burmese people is from Us and Western countries.
We need more support like you did in Ukraine .Almost all people in Burma love United states.

I am really grateful to all the people who have been concerned about Myanmar people as well Myanmar democracy. 🙏🙂
Democracy is a joke

On November 22, India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) put out a short, three-point press release announcing the working visit of foreign secretary, Vinay Mohan Kwatra, to Myanmar.
Without saying too many things, it revealed one thing very unambiguously - as far as the relationship between the Indian government and the junta is concerned, it is business as usual
Pakistan we need their help
I have only one thing to say thank you
Praying for the people of Myanmar 🇲🇲... Love from India 🇮🇳

As a Cambodian, this reminds me of the Khmer rouge war many years ago and its being repeated, but in another country. I can understand their misery and suffering, because we once suffered it too. Stay safe, and stay strong with glory! Down with the military!
Jeez Louise, yeah it reminded me of that, my father who used served in NVA almost died in Cambodian-Vietnamese war to overthrow Pol Pot. And seeing Myanmar government killing peaceful protesters, It’s scary.
Lol do you like honsen? Is he a god? ASEAN countries are not better than another don't talk like a master.

@@dolmarf411 some of the countries are not involved by USA, but I totally agree.
Edit: also you forgot to mention Syria
This is deeply moving to witness how strong the will and resilience of Burmese youth to sacrifice for this cherished nation is. These innocent and selfless spirits deserve victory against such brutual monsters. The global community, please support them. A heartfelt thanks to DW for spotlighting their spirits!!
God bless Myanmar people 🙏
With love from Ukraine ♥️
Thank you DW for covering the situations in my country.
People of Myanmar should take action to stop government from investing in military, by withdraw all money in bank, stop paying taxes & stop paying loans. Buy from street vendors & avoid shop at malls/supermarkets/franchises to minimise revenue tax flow.
@@user-tl9wv6wu9h there is no government
@@user-tl9wv6wu9h it's not that easy. the military threatened the street vendors and robbed their goods.

@@atharvamahale3266 Actually it had which is called National Unity Government for fighting political way in the worldso in myanmar there is two government SAC (Myanmar military ditactor ) and NUG (People)
The Myanmar junta is beyond brutal. No hesitation whatsoever to kill, no remorse, and no regard for human life. A true tragedy.
.
the junta is a genocidal dictatorship.

Europe and USA should send the Freedom Fighters of Myanmar Weapons like Patriot Missile Javelin ATGM MANPADS M777 And Tanks....For Free just like Ukraine
That’s why the rebels can’t win if the junta itself is heartless and willing to go great lengths to destroy any opposition

i am chilean and this reminds me of the pinochet dictatorship, of all the struggle of my people to recover democracy... the dreams of the people of myanmar are the same as my people.
Didn't pinochet improve chile?
@@abcdpqrs1281 No, when Chile regained its democracy in 1990 there was 70% poverty, 10,000 murdered, 40,000 tortured, and more than 500,000 Chileans were separated from their families by exile.
the following democratic governments improved the economy
@@feliperocha4753 Rohingya lost their land because of Junta, now they killed their own people for money and power.
Didn't Pinochet supported by Western countries like US? What's difference?
@@abcdpqrs1281 That dictator was placed and supported by the CIA to overthrow the Socialist democratically voted in leader, That and sometimes still called the original 9/11 as a coup supported by the CIA and the USA went through on that day, Killing and making Chile worse over all, During that whole period there was also a cult that has some connection to that dictatorship, There was a movie about it, All just because the USA wanted cheaper Copper
Myanmar is an absolutely beautiful country. Myanmar people are honest, friendly and helpful. ❤
I hope Myanmar manages to sort things out. 💪

Stop use Burmese flag
Not to mention half the issue created by Pakistan, rohingyas were happy burmese, when superpower pakistan armed and brainwashed them to join east pakistan in 1961, when rohingyas have no place to live, pakistan closes the door and sends them to bangladesh, pakistan must be held accountable

Same thing happened to my friend's relative.
Its impossible for us to fight without the help of India as it's the Chinese who are funding these dictators
Thankyou for spreading the situation of Myanmar.
Thanks for your help 🙏
Remembering that time 🥺

Thank you DW for bringing our voices to the world...
Thank you DW for your great coverage while many big international media are not that into Myanmar’s ongoing crisis anymore.
Thanks for the video clip. Your attention to the Burmese people and support really become a big help. We will keep in mind till the end. We're now on our way to democracy and freedom.
Sending my best wishes and support from a country that has almost identical flag, Lithuania! I hope for Western countries to hear your cries and send you military support similar to Ukraine. You definitely need Stingers or other AA systems so that you could easily shoot down those Soviet era aircraft that Junta uses.
its the USA that makes and fund every war. Myanmar, Ukraine, yemen, somalia, sudan, senegal, mali, rwanda;
I hope so.Stinger is the best option to shot down ..fighter jets.I'm afraid,that is too costly.
Western countries will oppose Russia but not support freedom in non-white countries unless the have oil.
Thank you for this footage and coverage on the situation in Myanmar. My partner is Burmese and while I do ask questions about what’s going on, I like to do my own research regardless. It’s tragic how little Myanmar is discussed on the world stage and major news.

@@duby9811 just because they're rebels doesn't mean they're on the wrong side of history. They're fighting for democracy...the USA was founded essentially by rebels...
I was stationed at the border between Thailand and Myanmar when this all went down.. Definitely something to remember
Forgotten nation trying to restore democracy. Myanmar 🇲🇲
Finally, a proper documentary
short but strong documentary film, brave young kids.
I've been to myanmar. The people were nice. I could see the big influence of military to people's daily life. I'm hoping they can take back their democracy!
Lulw democracy is stupid
These people remained mute when their military murdered Rakhine state residents who had lived there for more than a millennium and were unarmed and innocent civilians. They were unconcerned to witness the deaths of the Rohingya population of Rakhine State simply because they follow a different religion and speak a different language. They now understand how the silence worked against them.
@@redwanulislamuk1347 As a Burmese citizen, I would beg to differ and defend our side.
Burmese education has been under control of Military Government. Only some of the population ever knew how to use social media or watch news. Its not the restrictions, rather its the poor quality of provided education.
I do admit that some of us truly did not care but only cuz the youth were told to "mind their own business".
*Most of our ppl were too busy dealing with poverty to care about anything else* .
Even if we do acknowledge, Myanmar is pre-democracy which means that freedom of speech only hold small power.
Insulting the leaders are no-go(you would be searched and arrested) and *opinions are usually ignored by the Government* . Everytime we tried to rise up, *we were met with Baton and guns; even the monks were NOT spared from brutal beatings*
It was never a consented silence.
It always has been a true blind eye and forced silence.
You say that our silence worked against us.
The army control has always been there, way before the slaughter.
No matter how high you status is;rich or influencal, we simply cannot defy the current leaders.
If one ever does, either he's arrested or simply "disappeared".
@@thureinlin2335 I can completely understand the whole point you wrote. But the entire world expected a stand from Aung Sun Suchi's side on Rohingya issue as a leader. But she deliberately supported the Junta. That was unexpected.
@@redwanulislamuk1347 Some of the Burmese would say she's the saviour of modern Myanmar.
However, "educated" / wise Burmeses would imply otherwise that she was a fool; Myanmar is no longer worth saving and it has already fallen apart for redemption.
"She was a simply a fool for thinking these Burmese generals would agree likewise."
She believed(not lied to, just hoping for better nation in the future) in current Myanmar.
If she doesn't take a stand for them back then, she may not have access to lead her democracy party.
In overall, wise Burmese citizens think that Aung Sang Su Chi is a fool to have faith in the country,where her father(General Aung San,our Myanmar's national leader) was assassinated by his own kind.
Sad what’s happening in Myanmar. It is located in the fastest growing region but getting left behind due to this political turmoil.
These are brave young people who actually will fight and die for their freedom, unlike the young Chinese in China who just scream and cry, but won't do whatever it takes for their freedom. These young people are true heroes in the world's history of Freedom Fighters.
Why don’t you blame North Korean people ? Easy to jump to judgement

At the sight of the badly wounded rebel my heart broke. What these young boys have to endure is inhumane. I also do not understand why the West does not intervene. These guys are literally fighting for what we stand for "democracy". Their will to fight for this should be enough to provide them with solid equipment and weapons.
I hope their risks and sacrifices can make all the difference.
Stay strong people from Myanmar 💪🏼
Greetings 🇳🇱
We are unfortunately in between India and China who have their own interests.
6 months late but china used their veto within the u.n when a no fly zone was discussed
It's simple, because "the west" never cared about democracy
They only care about money, and usually money is more times tainted in innocents blood

I've seen them fight in flipflops and sandals
It pains my heart so much to see that they don't have enough arms and ammunition to keep up with the fight their hearts are desiring for.
I've seen 3/4 fighters relying on one gun, they remind us of the Normandy fight scenes.
I have utmost love and respect for the CDF, PDF and other freedom fighters... These youngsters are so inspirational.

Try to write into any Western NGO or media... mostly you will be stonewalled or verbally abused by repeatedly reading and ignoring questions.They have their monologue agendas to spout and they don't need any incoming information. Only outgoing. If covering your suffering is interesting for their advertisers or sponsors, they will pay attention, otherwise not. Some of them are outright fake or corrupt.
At least there all united.
