Than Shwe
Than Shwe served as the head of the military junta in Myanmar from 1992 to 2011, presiding over a period marked by political repression and economic difficulties. His leadership was characterized by a focus on military control and a refusal to acknowledge the results of the 1990 elections, which were won by the opposition party. Under his rule, Myanmar faced international condemnation for human rights abuses, yet he managed to maintain power until a nominal transition to a civilian government in 2011.
