THE security situation in oil and gas producer Myanmar deteriorated further this week, with the army firing live and rubber bullets and using water cannons as increasing numbers of people took to the streets to protest against the 1 February military coup. Despite one reported fatality and many injuries as security forces clashed with demonstrators in cities including Naypyidaw, Yangon and Mandalay on 9 February, hundreds of thousands of people were back on the streets the next morning. Others showed their support in their workplaces for the ousted democratically elected government, wearing red armbands and holding placards. Photographs shared with Upstream show workers on Total's Yadana offshore gas field and state-owned Myanma Oil & Gas Enterprise (MOGE) staff in a united call for restoration of the democratically elected civilian government.
