What is mission “Two Five”
Mission 22222 has been launched by people in Myanmar’s Yangon city on Monday. Actually, it is 22-02-2021 on Monday. That is five times two in the campaign date. Hence it was named Two Five. From this day people have decided to shut down the entire country. Under this campaign, people will now keep shops, offices closed. Working people will stop military work and oppose military rule. This will last until the democracy is restored.
Army warning not affected
Millions of people across the country participated in the biggest demonstrations against the coup in Myanmar. The army had issued a warning saying that the protesters are risking their lives by going out, but it showed no effect.
The youth also performed with the rejected military slogan on their clothes in the capital Nepeta.
Despite the closure of several roads, more than a thousand protesters gathered near the US embassy in Yangon, but after reaching close to the army, they left to avoid any confrontation.
In Myanmar’s famous Inlay Lake, people demonstrated in boats in the middle of the river.
