Preetam Rai: DVB.no has posted news (in Burmese) about soldiers from #33 battalion allowing the monks to continue the protests in Mandalay, the second largest city in Myanmar... Kaduang has posted an eyewitness account of yesterdays happening in capital Yangoon... KaDaung - Yangon Messages from CBox

The Latest:

Most of the latest news (real + unconfirmed rumors) are dropped into the comment boxes or Cboxes.

Ever since blogspot domain is being blocked, the Myanmar netizens are making an excellent use of CBox as their news reporting medium.
Many bloggers' Cboxes have been filled with various news especially Niknayman's Cbox.

Now someone has created another CBox ie. http://burmanews.cbox.ws/
to translate all those messages from Niknayman Cbox in english for international outlookers. Currently they are asking for translators for newly created CBox to post in english.

Latest news: http://niknayman.cbox.ws/
Translated news from niknayman cbox:

Blog of Nyein Chan Yar writes that internet, landline and mobile connections are going down in Myanmar.

Cambodian blogger Mean Lux has posted images from a vigil they held in front of Myanmar embassy this morning.
