Junta

A junta is a group of military leaders who take control of a country, often after a coup d'état, which is a sudden overthrow of the government. Instead of a democratically elected government, the junta rules the nation, often imposing strict control and limiting civil liberties. Their rule can focus on maintaining order and security, but it may also lead to repression and human rights abuses. Historically, juntas have emerged in various countries, particularly during times of political instability or conflict, and they can significantly impact a nation's political landscape and social dynamics.
