    Suchak Patel asked: What is the meaning of the term ‘junta rule’ used in the context of Myanmar, and how is it different from a military regime?

The Myanmar junta usurped power through a coup in February 2021, refusing to recognise the elections in which former State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy (NLD) had a landslide victory.
