Myint Swe, the figurehead president of Myanmar installed after the 2021 military coup, has died at the age of 74. He served as president from 2021 until 2024, a period marked by ongoing political instability and international condemnation of the military regime. His role was largely seen as ceremonial, with real power residing with the military junta led by Min Aung Hlaing. The death raises questions about the future leadership structure within the country's ruling military council.
