UPSC CISF-AC-EXE – 2022
The correct answer is Sudan.
The question asks about a country where the military recently ousted the government and seized power. Among the options provided, Sudan experienced a significant military coup in recent history (relative to the likely timeframe of the question, possibly late 2021 or early 2022). In October 2021, the Sudanese military, led by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, dissolved the transitional civilian government and arrested civilian leaders, effectively seizing power. This event led to widespread protests and international condemnation.
While other countries listed might face political challenges, none have experienced a direct military coup ousting the government in the same prominent manner as Sudan did in October 2021. Belarus has an authoritarian regime, Costa Rica is a stable democracy without a standing army, and Turkmenistan is also an authoritarian state, but none saw a recent military coup of the type described. The coup in Sudan was a major international news event at the time.
