Hello. This is a video of the signs of Myanmar's protests, as seen from space via satellite imagery. It is all viewed through the freely available platform, Google Earth Pro.
I wanted to share some of these inspiring sights, visible on imagery of Yangon from February 19 and 24 (2021), where protest murals, and large numbers of people can be seen on the satellite imagery.
My reason for sharing this is to show the demonstration's efforts, which have been met with violence from security forces. This video also shows how useful, and detailed, satellite imagery on Google Earth is.
For those unfamiliar with what is happening in Myanmar, here is a brief re-cap of events since the February coup: https://twitter.com/BBCRosAtkins/stat....
