Burmese military government
The Burmese military government, also known as the Tatmadaw, is the ruling authority in Myanmar that seized power through a coup in 2021, overthrowing the civilian government. It maintains control by deploying the military to suppress opposition, restrict freedoms, and limit political participation. This regime often faces criticism for human rights abuses and lack of democratic accountability. While it claims to stabilize the country and protect national interests, many citizens and international observers see it as undemocratic, prioritizing military power over civilian governance and democratic principles.
