But if somebody would have expected that the Covid-19-Desaster is a wake-up call for the world to be more united, work hand in hand, and pool resources reducing risks of a borderless threat, this “somebody” was wrong. 2020 was dominated by “My country first.” The global cyberspace was filled with building new barriers, widening old gaps, growing mistrust, nasty cyberattacks, more cybercrime and the first Internet-based drone-war in the Caucasian mountains.

Tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets in Myanmar in the first major demonstrations since the military seized power, despite a nationwide internet blackout imposed to stifle dissent.

In the main city Yangon on Saturday, protesters chanted “down with the military dictatorship” and carried images of the ousted leaders Aung San Suu Kyi and Win Myint, whose party won a landslide election in November.
