| | Outposts of tyranny - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Outposts of tyranny was a term used by United States Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in a 2005 written submission to the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations to describe certain countries where, in her opinion, the government is oppressive and shows contempt for democracy and human rights. |
 | | Rice did not say whether there was special criteria to be considered an "outpost of tyranny", though she identified Belarus, Myanmar, Cuba, Iran, North Korea and Zimbabwe as examples. |
 | | There is an overlap with the given examples of "outposts of tyranny" and the State Dept. list of state sponsors of terrorism, which also includes Cuba, Iran, and North Korea but in which Syria and Sudan appear rather than Myanmar, Belarus, and Zimbabwe. |
