But, only 14,025 people have signed against it in ten days, and there are very few people who have signed against it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NLD and NUCC said that Myanmar&#8217;s current situation is not a situation where citizens are forced to do military service to protect against foreign threats like other countries, so the NLD and NUCC said that it is a &#8220;forced military recruitment operation&#8221; and jointly signed a &#8220;Community Movement Against Forced Military Recruitment&#8221; in 2024 to protest against this process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it was launched on March 10th, as a public movement, the number of people who signed the protest was low, and ten days later, it has not reached 14,100. Myanmar is a country with a large number of internet users. According to Datareportal&#8217;s 2023 statistics, there are 23.9 million internet users and 13 million people of military age, while the NLD and NUCC&#8217;s public campaign against conscription is less than 1 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"788\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/photo_2024-03-19_16-43-17-788x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5041\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/photo_2024-03-19_16-43-17-788x1024.jpg 788w, https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/photo_2024-03-19_16-43-17-231x300.jpg 231w, https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/photo_2024-03-19_16-43-17-768x998.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/photo_2024-03-19_16-43-17-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/photo_2024-03-19_16-43-17.jpg 985w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>20 March 2024 After the promulgation of the conscription law, the National Unity Consultative Council (NUCC) and the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":5041,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5040","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5040","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5040"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5040\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5042,"href":"https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5040\/revisions\/5042"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5041"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5040"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5040"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5040"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
