As a result of the military takeover of Myanmar’s government on Monday, citizens across the country have begun several, overwhelmingly peaceful, mass civil disobedience campaigns.
Users across social media shared videos of the residents of Yangon, Myanmar’s largest city, banging drums, pots, pans and anything they could find to make loud noises showing their disapproval of the military coup.
JUST NOW: The roaring noise in the background is from each and every citizens beating drums or any object that make loud noise showing disapproval of #Myanmarmilitarycoup, started exactly at 8pm and still going on right now. It’s like the whole city! pic.twitter.com/xO54ahaaWd— Hnin Zaw (@hninyadanazaw) February 2, 2021
We have entered the civil disobedience portion of the coup. Tomorrow should be very interesting. (As if every day in a coup isn’t). I’m also hearing cars on the larger street blasting their horns as they drive down the main roads. pic.twitter.com/WQH1MJOHyw— Aye Min Thant (@the_ayeminthant) February 2, 2021
In addition, several people around the country have placed candles outside their homes to show their disapproval.
However, the most striking example of civil disobedience so far has been a growing campaign by the country’s doctors to refuse to work under the military dictatorship, an especially potent threat considering the country’s dire coronavirus crisis.

Doctors in the city of Mandalay were the first to announce the campaign, and were quickly joined by doctors in Yangon, Pyay, Magway, and the capital, Naypyitaw, all of whom plan on beginning their strikes on Wednesday.

On Monday, Myanmar’s army took over the democratically elected government, arresting top government officials – including leader Aung San Suu Kyi – and transferring power to the military’s chief, Gen. Min Aung Hlaing.
Since then, civilians and independent journalists have reported caravans roaming the streets, blasting “patriotic music” and assaulting journalists.

In addition, journalist Hnin Zaw claimed that according to a party source, ousted president U Win Myint is reportedly being sent to remain in custody somewhere else, while Suu Kyi is currently staying in her residence.
