2021 coup

In 2021, Myanmar experienced a military coup when the army, disagreeing with the democratic election results that favored the elected government led by Aung San Suu Kyi, seized control of the country. They detained key leaders, declared a state of emergency, and took power, citing alleged electoral fraud. This action disrupted democratic processes, led to widespread protests, and caused civil unrest. The international community largely condemned the coup, viewing it as a setback for Myanmar’s democracy. The coup deeply impacted the country's political stability, economy, and the safety of its citizens.
