While the country is going through a tumultuous transition, hopes for a return to constitutional order are fading. The junta leader’s statements about an election year in 2025 raise doubts about the real will to restore democracy.

Depuis le coup d’État de 2021, la transition vers un ordre constitutionnel stable s’est révélée être une source de désillusion pour une grande majorité des...
