Junte Militaire Myanmar

“Junte Militaire Myanmar” refers to the military junta that governs Myanmar (Burma) following a coup d’état. This term specifically denotes the group of military leaders who seized power, typically characterized by authoritarian rule, suppression of dissent, and the imposition of military law. The junta emerged prominently after the military’s takeover on February 1, 2021, which ousted the democratically elected government led by Aung San Suu Kyi and the National League for Democracy (NLD). The junta has faced widespread international condemnation, economic sanctions, and protests from the local population, who demand the restoration of democracy and the release of political prisoners. The term encompasses not just the military’s political authority but also its controversial actions, including alleged human rights abuses and violent crackdowns on civilian protests.
