Myanmar coup

For many in Myanmar, it has been 50 days of agony since the February 1 coup. Starting with recurring nightly internet blackouts mid-February, the junta further throttled communications by blocking mobile internet services and shutting down all public WiFi services last week, leaving people’s livelihoods, information access, and the economy in tatters. It is costing lives, say local entrepreneurs and activists.
