How to use junta in a sentence?

1. Erin Murphy:

   Most of the sanctions programs were formulated during the junta years and the dynamics and the situation, for which there has been a lot of progress – although still a lot of problems – have changed since then, sanctions are an important tool, but its leverage is quite limited, and the scope of the previous sanctions would not provide much leverage in deterring military behavior currently. There is also the question of who you are punishing and unintended consequences.

2. Elaine Pearson:

3. Pannika Wanich:

   The junta government yearned for international acceptance after the coup...and formed a dark alliance with Malaysia, the only person who can issue these orders is Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha.

4. Brad Adams:

5. Thanawut Wichaidit:

   Can people still trust the junta?
