IMPORTANT⛔️ Fixed wireless will not be turned on in morning. Confirmed. No Ananda/MMNet/Ooreddoo/etc. With mobile data already off, only fixed-line will remain. Order is temporary but open-ended. Everyone should be making whatever plans are possible. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

Please read the replies here. Many in #Myanmar are desperately sad and fearful tonight as one of the last connections to the outside world seems about to be severed. “Is there anyone you can help us? We are going to disappear in darkness.” https://twitter.com/...

A potential information blackout in #Myanmar makes international action even more urgent. If protestors are unable to broadcast daily atrocities to the world, the military will feel emboldened to further escalate its repression. https://www.reuters.com/...
