Military junta

M

A military junta refers to a government led by a committee of military leaders, typically established following a coup d’état or the forceful seizure of power. These regimes often suspend constitutional processes, restrict civil liberties, and consolidate authority within the armed forces, frequently leading to international sanctions, diplomatic isolation, and internal instability. As reported by outlets like the BBC, France 24, and Bloomberg, the presence of military juntas remains a critical factor in global geopolitical conflicts, particularly in regions experiencing democratic backsliding or prolonged civil unrest.
