A '''junta''' (hoon-tuh) is a governing administrative council. It can consist of civilian and/or military officers holding power in a country, especially after a [[coup d'état]]. Many [[dictator]]s have come to power at the head of a junta. In [[socialist]] regimes it is often referred to as a [[politburo]]. An example of a junta presently in power is that ruling [[Burma]].
