Myanmar protesters march again after bloodiest post-coup unrest

a day earlier, as calls grow for a more united international response after the worst violence since a coup began one month ago.

At least 18 people were killed as clashes took place in various parts of the country on Sunday, according to the UN human rights office. Police opened fire on crowds in the biggest city of Yangon, after tear gas and warning shots failed to clear protesters demanding the restoration of Aung San Suu Kyi's government.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken condemned what he called"abhorrent violence" by security forces, while Canada's foreign minister, Marc Garneau, said the military's use of lethal force against its own people"appalling". Both called for a united response. People marked the deaths of demonstrators with red and white roses, circling with yellow, white and pink flowers the spot in front of a school where one protester was killed."WE WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU"

A committee representing lawmakers who won seats in the November election said at least 26 people were killed in the violence on Sunday, which Reuters was unable to verify. In a post dated Feb 28, the state-run Global New Light of Myanmar warned"severe action will be inevitably taken" against"anarchic mobs" that the military could not ignore, despite having previously shown restraint.
