What is a military junta?

A military junta is a type of government where a group of military officials seize control of the government and exercise power over the country. They often suspend or abolish the existing constitution, dissolve the legislative and executive branches, and rule by decree. Military juntas typically arise through a coup d'état or a rebellion, and their rule is characterized by authoritarianism and the suppression of civil liberties.
