The 2021 Myanmar protests are domestic civil resistance efforts in
Myanmarball's clay in opposition to the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état, which was staged by Min Aung Hlaing, the Commander-in-Chief of the Myanmar Armed Forces on 1 February 2021.
The colour red, which is associated with NLDball, has been donned by many protesters. Kabar Ma Kyay Bu, a song that was first popularized as the anthem of the 8888 Uprising, has been revitalized by the civil disobedience movement as a protest song. The three-finger salute has been widely adopted by protesters as a protest symbol, while some pro-democracy netizens have joined the "Milk Tea Alliance".
In response to the growing protest movement, the military regime has enacted a number of countermeasures. These include an internet and social media blackout, a media blackout, arrests and criminal sentences against protesters, spread of misinformation, and political overtures to competing political parties to participate in the newly formed State Administration Council.
