Myanmar’s junta boss Min Aung Hlaing has reorganized the regime’s governing body, the State Administration Council (SAC), at least five times since the 2021 coup.

Fifteen SAC members, including three generals, have been removed over the past two years.

Min Aung Hlaing formed the 11-member SAC on February 2, 2021, a day after the coup.
