Brave men and women Rebels fighting for freedom from horrible leaders of their country. Please bless these people
Men and women, girls and boys too. Is very harsh reality
Then what about fake dictorail army @@pebamsurchandramangang5925
@@pebamsurchandramangang5925 How do you define the terrorist?
At least the rebels don't burn people alive and destroyed civilians buildings and belongings like the Military. The one who is initiating the most violence and terrorism movements are none other than the Military. I can prove that because we are seeing those terrorism events done by the military with our eyes. Understand the situation, dxck.Even kids know who are the bad guys here.@@pebamsurchandramangang5925
@@pebamsurchandramangang5925 Bruh, you don't even speak our language. What country are you from? Which government brainwashed you that we're terrorists? This is how military treat us and is still on going to this days.
You gotta take the power back
We against dictatorship we support you from Philippines 🇵🇭🙌

We INDIA also Support ....them ...😢😢😟😟🇮🇳🇮🇳🚩🚩🙏🙏😡
indonesia support you !!!❤
Maynmar young people need more support from the whole world😢
World and ICC should step in free the people.
I call them freedom fighters, not rebels.
Myanmar doesn't need dictatorship. They need democracy to succeed.
If the rebels ever defeat the dictatorship, I bet you a million dollars they'll go back to fighting each other for power.
Democracy always fails, it is an evil ideology that needs to be abolished worldwide
🫶
Amen ❤🎉🙏
They don’t “need democracy”. They need the freedom to choose their own way, even if that doesn’t include western democracy.
Finally some real journalism.
Fighting for democracy is not only for Burmese but also for all the countries under dictatorship.
Not for china....the CCP has surpass the democracy with development
What about one country that rhymes with women's sexual organ
Including US
where election is held ever five years?
where all the people fleeing from Chlna, Africa and middle east wants to immigrate?@@BinuIJK
@@BinuIJK please explain?
This people shows the world you cannot defeat a heart with courage and strong hope for freedom. I pray for the people of Myanmar. May God always protect you and guide you.
Always think about Who IS baking the support for each position
Eeeeeeeeeeee
😮😂😢😢
Is that why junta is starting to massively loose ?
Junta is supported by china and rebels are supported by usa ..this is the part of a global conflict...
They're not a rebels, They're Freedom fighter's. Salute to all the young souls fighting for democracy. From Nagaland, India.
Excellent reporting, my heart weeps.
Respect to the brave women and men of the resistance forces.
From Cameroon I could understand their pain, it is well God bless them
Ambazonia?
Please don't ignore the world of our democracy journey. We will never surrender our ambition. We will fight until we win
What can we do to support?
send your church leaders to the Philippines" we can help you in many ways .
They are not Rebels, they are the Myanmar people's military.
A rebel is anyone that take up arms against the government, so yes they're. Rebels can be good or bad.
Na bro exactly 7 years ago you called your army heroes for killing rohingyas now you are calling rebels the freedom fighter
@@Fzforoz2023 the "you" in people who called the army heroes are the loud minority that is hated by the rest of the nation, stop generalizing us! many of myanmar citizen have hated the military since independence
@@lemonade_ib "the government" is painfully vague. every loosely organized group of humans could be considered a government. a corrupted military is not a government. its a group of terrorists who are funded by people that have no concern about the well being of those outside their command.
My brother rebel is not a bad word. If you look at alot of freedom fighters even in the west during revolutions, civil wars etc. They are also called rebels, because rebels = rebellion fighters (Usually going up against a dictatorship or monarchy)
young people in western countries: struggling to find meaning or purpose
Young people in burma:
Our prior generations already gave up on freedom in exchange for comfort. It is very difficult to protest the US these days. You will be found, charged with terrorism related charges, and locked away. Look at the protestors against Cop City for example.
Young people in USA : confuse defining genders
@@fajarkurniawan9434 actually, it is the older generation that does not understand gender, they confuse it for sex.
Yeah Id rather worry about my purpose than worry about being oppressed by an authoritharian government.
@@fajarkurniawan9434 stop. go breed with your siblings. less than 1% of the species does that.
From Sudan Africa 🌍💞 all solideraty to you 😊
As a refugee myself from Burma, living in Thailand, I could barely stop myself from crying while watching this. Good things never come free. But how many lives does it need to be sacrificed to achieve the very basic human rights in Burma? Please, the people from the west. Don't take your country's democracy for granted. Always remember a number of lives lost for it everyday on another part of the world.
But when they oppressed the innocent Rohingya people you celebrated and supported them
@@ramadhanomar8093back then majority of the population where brainwashed by the military and their propagandas but now they’re opening eyes about who is the bad guy.
@@ramadhanomar8093the military did that
@@ramadhanomar8093military is NOT the same as people, they literally fighting military AS WELL.
Their English is very good.. is Amazing France Main media have paid this much attention for our struggle 🎉😊
Sorry to say but their english is translation from english speakers
@@FunnyBob969 did u not see the scenes where they spoke English?
They are fighters for democracy!
that country is much more complicated than you think.. none of the fighting parties are democratic. you know who is the major power fighting against the military government now? the Chinese supported force in north Myanmar. Do you think they are democractic? of course not.
@@ghteo9766 the People's Defense Force fight for democracy. Infact, the group shown in the video, the Karenni National Defense Force, is apart of the PDF.
@@ghteo9766 3BA Alliance of the AA, MNDAA and TNLA are Chinese supported, other ethnic rebel armies such as this one wants democracy. Other armies like the KIA and KNU wants to be in the sphere of the post war democratic union. Chaotic aftermath but better than the current oppressive one.
@@ghteo9766China has no interesting to make Myanmar in chaos by support rebels, because junta can't keep peace on borders, China has no choice but keep some relations with rebel groups.
@@Orgruul yeah, just look at Libya
As an Australian citizen who has lived the entirety of my forty-two years here in Sydney City, I'm gravely disappointed with the severe lack of support for Myanmar democracy from the broader international community.
I am eager to see democracy prevail in Myanmar, as with any sovereign nation-state.
wonder where U.N is? or Human Rights? Or the U.S as they like to intervene into other countries affair... my heart bleeds for the Myanmar people.... it's soul breaking :(
Because, they get nothing by supporting the rebels. You know?
We saw how your "democracy" treated you during covid. You need to clean things up in your own backyard princess.
@@glycerinemarie5237 they only care about white people. It took too many western SJW fighting for them to show sympathy for Palestine, i doubt they even care for any other non white countries.
@@glycerinemarie5237myanmar has been isolationist for 70 years. There is very few outsiders interest in Myanmar.
Thank you France 24 !!!
Nothing but respect for all these brave human . May god bless you all and bring back peace and freedom you all deserve🙏
People of Myanmar are fighting against the tyrannical rule, they are not rebels. God bless you Mawi and followers. Blessed are the peacemakers
Praying that democracy will be restored soon in Myanmar. Salute to the brave young people who wanted democracy
Thank you France 24,to demonstrate my country's situation.
Hope the people achieve their freedom sooner than later
Man...@@123watc
send your church leaders to the Philippines" we can help you' in many ways"..
From Sudan to Myanmar! We love you! We are proud of you! 🕯💛🌍
KNDF is one of the resistance forces around the country. They are very brave. They are also kind to the prisoners of war when Myanmar military soldiers are captured. Stop labelling them as 'rebels'. If you do, 90% of the people of Myanmar are all 'rebels' since they fight back the so-called powerful Myanmar military.
Rebels is what they are, it's not a bad thing. Why do you think rebel is a bad thing?
@@Princessk8I have no idea why some of them think that. But I think it’s because they don’t understand what the words are.
@@Princessk8Many Burmese prefer calling resistance forces over rebels because the word "rebel" (Thu-bone in Burmese) is often associated with terrorists in Burmese. This is mainly becuase of military propagandas. They potray "rebels" as some bad, evil terrorists. So yea, altho we know rebels arent bad, decades of propanganda still twisted our views. It has already been engraved on our mind that rebels = terrorists. Our grandparents in the past used "Rebels are coming" (Thu-bone twe lar nay pi) as a way to frighten kids. This is just one of the bad influence we got from Military rule.
They are Christian terroristsss
@@EmptyShark Well explained 👍
Watching this was intense. This is real news coverage and show what is really happening inside myanmar. Good luck to all the young soldiers and combat medics fighting for their democracy against military oppression. The military should never rule over its people it is the people who the military should fear. The military is to serve and protect its country from aggressors
We , KARENNI , want the world to know about all of these situations in Myanmar. 💪
God is with you all.
Peace for Myanmar, Gaza, Ukraine, and any other country that is experiencing war
Brave people of Myanmar!
Stay strong brother”s we support you no matter what..,from California 🇺🇸 & Philippines 🇵🇭
One of only handful of on the ground reporting. Well done!
This fighter not fight for money,not even have a monthly salary...they fight for freedome...they fight for their right.
Thats a holy sacrifice...
May God Be always with you...
🙏🙏
Wish all of the news channels around the world to pay attention like you, what is happening in our country.
Absolutely right
Same sentiment here. International news media have been ignoring us sadly.
I have many young friends in this beautiful country facing this decision right now. I pray for you and wish the utmost protection to access what most of us take for granted. I hope more people are aware of this ongoing struggle in Myanmar. May all Myanmar be free!
Peace would come through the sacrifice of those young men and women. God bless you. Support to you from bangladesh.🎉
The reporter is so brave! Please keep report coming to the world!
Democracy and freedom is worth fighting for.
Praying for Myanmar for peace and freedom.
I really love this documentary. I truly appreciate the brave person who created it.
Long Live The Young Soldiers. The future leaders of Myanmar. God be with you.
May Myanmar have lasting peace once the Junta fell. Allah bless you all
7 years ago they supported janta and called them heros for killing rohingyas and now they are fighting themselves bravo Myanmar
But junta supports Palestinians and it doesn't recognise Israel.@@Fzforoz2023

Thanks for revealing the real situation happening in Myanmar.
Thank for covering Myanmar . I’m in deep sorrow to see what’s happening there .

Salute to this rebel who fight for their country. Bring back the democracy in myanmar. They deserve to live peacefully.
God bless the civil people and their soldiers!
Thanks France 24
We need more documentaries like this one
There are many Rebels who fighting military junta all over the country
Somebody tell the Americans huge reserves of oil has been found in Myanmar... democracy will be airdropped within a fortnight
More like an occupation😂
World is controlled by US😂
America has plenty of oil but environmental wackos like joe Biden wont allow drilling
😂😂
that could only result in genocide. and its not america that gets the benefits. its always europe taking the largest share of any particular resource. not because they do most of the work, but because they feel they own planet earth in perpetuity.
Fight for Freedom
What a man with his comrades! Bravo 🙌🏻
Brave young men and women that only want freedom and a normal life, its not those that inflict the most but those that endure the most shall eventually win.
This is not Rebel. They are fighting for people and they are called Ethnic armed forces and People Defense force, PDF.
After the achievement...will they give the power to democratic government or they will self rule their area
@@weingkham4033 possibly aiming for a federal government
This is our younger generation. We don't need to wait international help and support. We will do ourselves. We do not want to complain our sufferings. The world will not understand.
We love our country.
We do not afraid of even Chinese and Indian.
why do you rely on international help at all. its your problem, you solve it
Hope you will have peace soon, friend from Vietnam.
Solid reporting
I wish more people could watch this video, all around the world
Enough is enough for the people of Myanmar. Democracy is key to development of Myanmar.
We fighting for freedom in myanmar.🇲🇲
May democracy prevail in Myanmar and rights of citizens of Myanmar should not be deprived...
UN sleeping now... makes peace, prosperity and human rights prevail in Myanmar😢
How can we support these people fighting for their freedom?
Thanks you for reporting the real situation in myanmar☺☺☺
Stay strong. People will win.
Blessed this young people turned protester then rebel by the junta
People from Europe and US will never understand the feeling we get everyday haha
The whites who are the predators. They don't understand the feeling of the weaks. They are trying to get more stronger and stronger. That is not their fault. We should restore our own freedom with our straight not with the straight of the whites.
At least we try
We have to support your struggle as the tide of oppression slowly reveals itself in our part of the world. Freedom to all people of the world.
I wouldnt be so sure about that. My brother died fighting for people's freedom in the middle east.
send your church leaders to the Philippines" talk to our Roman catholic church officials" we can help you' in many ways!! '.😢..
God bless these courages men and women for fighting a just fight. Excellent reporting 👍🙏
Stunning and brave...
these kids could be made scientists and carers of the earth, but circumstances dictate another path for them, may their children have a better future
#saveKarenni 🇵🇾❤️
We very upset and heartbroken to see and hear young children giving up their lives for the people of Myanmar.Very brave and heroic deeds they have done May they rest in peace. God bless those who are still fighting.
