Myanmar has endured intense turmoil, including a military coup, civil war, enforced conscription, aerial bombardment, and an earthquake.

The ban seeks to block immigration from countries perceived as harboring large terrorist groups, effectively closing migration routes for those fleeing conflict-ridden regions worldwide.
