[[File:Coup-d'etat-2-web-cnni.jpg|thumb|[[2006 Thai coup d'état]]]] The most prominent [[coup d'état]] of the decade include:
* [[Overthrow of Slobodan Milošević|2000 overthrow of Slobodan Milošević in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia]] – after [[Slobodan Milošević]] was accused by opposition figures of winning the 2000 election through electoral fraud, mass protests led by the opposition movement [[Otpor!]] pressure [[Slobodan Milošević]] to resign. Milošević was later arrested in 2001 and sent to the Hague to face war crimes charges for his alleged involvement in war crimes of the [[Yugoslav Wars]].
* [[2002 Venezuelan coup attempt]] – a failed military coup d'état on April 11, 2002, which aimed to overthrow the president of Venezuela [[Hugo Chávez]]. During the coup Hugo Chávez was arrested and [[Pedro Carmona]] became the interim President for 47 hours. The coup led to a pro-Chávez uprising that the Metropolitan Police attempted to suppress. The pro-Chávez Presidential Guard eventually retook the [[Miraflores presidential palace]] without firing a shot, leading to the collapse of the Carmona government.
* [[2004 Haitian coup d'état]] – a conflict fought for several weeks in [[Haiti]] during February 2004 that resulted in the premature end of President [[Jean-Bertrand Aristide]]'s second term, and the installment of an interim government led by [[Gérard Latortue]].
* [[2006 Thai coup d'état]] – on September 19, 2006, while the elected Thai Prime Minister [[Thaksin Shinawatra]] was in New York for a meeting of the UN, Army Commander-in-Chief Lieutenant General [[Sonthi Boonyaratglin]] launched a bloodless [[September 2006 Thailand military coup d'état|coup d'état]].
* [[Fatah–Hamas conflict]] (2006–present) – an armed conflict fought between the two main Palestinian factions, [[Fatah]] and [[Hamas]] with each vying to assume political control of the [[Palestinian territories]]. In June 2007, [[Battle for Gaza (2007)|Hamas took control of the entire Gaza Strip]], and established a separate government while Fatah remained in control of the West Bank. This in practice divided the [[Palestinian Authority]] into two. Various forces affiliated with Fatah engaged in combat with Hamas, in numerous gun battles. Most Fatah leaders eventually escaped to Egypt and the West Bank, while some were captured and killed.
* [[2009 Honduran coup d'état]] – The armed forces of the country entered the president's residence and overthrew president [[Manuel Zelaya]]. (see [[2009 Honduran constitutional crisis]]).
