Recently, in which one of the following countries did the military oust the Government and seize power ?
Explanation
In October 2021, the military in Sudan, led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, seized power in a coup, ousting the transitional civilian-led government. The military dissolved the Sovereign Council and the cabinet, and detained Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok. This event halted Sudan's fragile transition toward democracy, which had commenced after the 2019 removal of long-time leader Omar al-Bashir.
Regarding other options:
- Belarus: Experienced mass political protests following the 2020 elections, but the government remained in power.
- Costa Rica: A stable democracy that famously abolished its military in 1948.
- Turkmenistan: Maintains a stable, authoritarian political system with no recent military coups.
