Burmese Military Junta

The Burmese Military Junta is a government formed by Myanmar’s military leaders who took control of the country’s administration, bypassing democratic processes. This often occurs through a coup d’état, removing the civilian government or elected leaders. The junta governs using military authority, enforcing strict control over political activities, media, and civil society. While claiming to restore stability, it has been widely criticized for suppressing dissent, violating human rights, and curtailing democratic freedoms. The military’s intervention fundamentally shifts power from elected officials to military leaders, impacting the country’s political trajectory and the rights of its people.
