In a standoff like we are now seeing three months into this coup, the morale of both sides becomes of critical importance. We wrote yesterday how a small team of protesters of actively working to weaken the already low morale of the soldiers, encouraging them to drop their weapons and refuse to do the bidding of the dark forces any longer.

At the same time, this team also recognizes the value of strengthening the morale of their own side. Towards these ends, yesterday they printed tens of thousands of papers encouraging the people to continue their struggle for democracy, and tossed these in strategic places throughout Yangon.

This was all made possible by your donation. This group was able to print many thousands of copies of these pages before heading out on the dangerous mission to scatter them throughout the city. They have more such campaigns planned, but can only implement them if you are able to further support their work.

Following is an English translation of their work. The translator notes that most of the phrases were used in the context of wordplay in Burmese language and it could be difficult to convey them fully in English.

Improve the morale
