State Administration Council

The State Administration Council (SAC) is the military-led governing body in Myanmar that was established after the military coup on February 1, 2021. It replaced the previous democratically elected government, taking power amid widespread protests and unrest. The SAC is responsible for implementing laws, managing the country, and overseeing security. It has faced international condemnation for human rights abuses and is under various sanctions. The council claims to restore stability but is criticized for suppressing dissent and democracy, complicating the political landscape in Myanmar.
