Supposedly, the military’s starting to fall apart as well.

More than 100 Buddhist monks marched peacefully in northern Myanmar on Wednesday, in the first such public demonstration since the country’s military regime launched a bloody crackdown last month on pro-democracy activists, several monks said.

The monks in Pakokku shouted no slogans, but one monk told the Democratic Voice of Burma, a Norway-based short-wave radio station and Web site run by dissident journalists, that the demonstration was a continuation of the protests in September.

“We are continuing our protest from last month as we have not yet achieved any of the demands we asked for,” the monk told Democratic Voice of Burma.

More marches are planned. Let’s hope they’re peaceful.
