	Military dictatorship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A military dictatorship is a form of government wherein the political power resides with the military; it is similar but not identical to a stratocracy, a state ruled directly by the military.
		In the past, military juntas have justified their rule as a way of bringing political stability for the nation or rescuing it from the threat of "dangerous ideologies".
		One of the almost universal characteristics of a military government is the institution of martial law or a permanent state of emergency.

	Military Rule Islamism and Democracy in Pakistan
		The regime that was most closely associated with Islamization, and which had the most legitimacy to speak for and embody the growing Islamic identity in Pakistan gave place to a more secular democratic order that was initially led by the most secular element in Pakistan's politics, the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP).
		Pakistan's military, which was unhappy with both Hikmatyar and the Jama'at, now turned to this new militancy to prop up its position in Pakistan's politics and Afghanistan's civil war.'5 The empowerment of the Taliban meant giving free reign to those forces in Pakistan that shared its ideology, and provided it with recruits and resources.
		It is through the military's assault on the political process, and as an intended or unintended consequence of the struggle for power between the military and democratic forces, that Islamisrn has gained ground.

		In essence, the military regime is seeking a permanent, institutionalised role in politics.
		The only way such a regime manages to stay in power is through the disillusionment of the masses and the utter failure of the 'left' parties to mount any significant challenge to military rule.

	Situation Reports: Myanmar, Burma: Military regime continues to forcibly displace ethnic minorities in border areas
		Although figures are unreliable, between 600,000 and one million people are estimated internally displaced in Burma because of the military regime's brutal policies to control border areas populated by ethnic minorities.
		Since seizing power, the military regime has more than doubled the strength of its army, using its military might to keep the country under its control, particularly in areas of ethnic minority-led insurgency.
		However, while the military government is being condemned for its suppression of the democracy movement and is subject to some unilateral sanctions, the international community has largely remained silent on the forced displacement of ethnic minorities and other grave human rights abuses committed in the border areas.

		The president is indebted to an election in which the military succeeded in defeating the supporters of the leading cleric candidate and, after an earlier victory in installing another cleric to head the Parliament, for hurling the person of its choice to the presidency.
		In view of the role that the military played in the June 2005 presidential elections, it was not surprising that the number of clerics in the new government would be reduced to merely two (Mohseni Ejhei as the minister of Intelligence and Pour Mohammadi as the minister of the interior).
		This para-military force is the very same organization of disciplined million men who during the last presidential elections succeeded, in just 48 hours before the elections, to turn the majority of conservative voters and many non-political ones to vote for the person announced by their commanders and thus completely alter the destiny of the country.
