21 Countries With "Do Not Travel" Warnings: What You Need To Know

21. Myanmar: Post-Coup Conflict and State Repression

Since the 2021 military coup, Myanmar has been engulfed in a widespread and intensifying civil conflict. The military junta faces armed resistance from various ethnic armed organizations and People's Defence Forces across large swathes of the country. Indiscriminate violence by state security forces against civilians, including airstrikes, shelling, and mass arrests, is common. "Do Not Travel" advisories are absolute due to the active internal armed conflict, the extreme risk of arbitrary detention, and the breakdown of basic rule of law, making any visit exceptionally perilous.
