BIRMANIA

The country is ruled by a military regime since 1962 and are not held parliamentary elections since 1990, when the current military meeting SPDC lost overwhelmingly to the National League for Democracy.

After 17 years, in 2007 the military junta has been affected by massive protests led by Buddhist monks.
