Toronto resident cancels planned trip to U.S. due to travel ban: 'I feel so bad'
Hla Wynn was looking forward to his annual trip to New York this summer, eager to spend time with family and help his brother recover from surgery. But the retired college professor said his long-standing plans are on hold until further notice now that U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a travel ban on residents of more than a dozen countries, including his birthplace of Myanmar. Article content Article content 'We've been going back and forth, some years they come and visit us, sometimes we go and visit them, to go for a trip during the summertime, spend about a week or two with them,' the 73-year-old said of his summer travels. '… but because of this new development, I'm not comfortable visiting them.' Article content Article content Trump announced Wednesday that citizens of 12 countries — Myanmar, Afghanistan, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen — would be banned from visiting the United States. Article content Some of the 12 countries on the banned list were targeted by a similar measure Trump enacted in his first term. Article content Wynn, who now lives in Toronto, has maintained close ties in his home country and worries about the broader impact of Trump's ban, which is set to take effect on Monday. Article content He said he has been helping university students in Myanmar online after they lost access to education following a military coup in 2021, and he now fears the ban will make it difficult for those wanting to continue their studies. Article content Article content 'Everything was closed down or even if they are open, they are under military government, which is a very poor education system,' he said. Article content Article content 'I was so sad for these people because lots of people are trying to get into (the) U.S. and Canada … and now there are lots of students stuck to get a visa.' Article content The head of an association representing the Myanmar community in Ontario said the new travel ban is 'cruel' to the people of his country. Article content Napas Thein, president of the Burma Canadian Association of Ontario, said the people of Myanmar are already facing difficulties in their own country thanks to the coup and a new law mandating military service, and the ban will make it harder to move to a safer place. Article content 'This has really put a strain on people that I know in Canada,' he said. Article content 'I know a student, supposed to be incoming PhD student, who is supposed to go to a university in the United States, whose trajectory there may be completely halted because he's a Myanmar national.'

New U.S. travel ban is 'cruel,' Myanmar association in Ontario says
The head of an association for the Myanmar community in Ontario says a new travel ban announced by U.S. President Donald Trump is "cruel" to the people of his country. Napas Thein, president of the Burma Canadian Association of Ontario, says the people of Myanmar are already facing difficulties in their own country with a military coup and new law mandating military service, and the ban will make it harder to move to a safer place. He says members of his community in Canada will not be allowed into the United States to study or visit due to the new ban, which takes effect Monday. Thein says he and others from the Myanmar diaspora who are Canadian citizens feel uneasy about crossing the border and some have already started cancelling plans to attend conferences or visit their families in the United States. WATCH | Trump defends travel ban: Trump defends travel ban on 12 countries: 'We don't want them' 16 hours ago Duration 2:02 U.S. President Donald Trump defended banning entry to citizens of twelve countries and imposing stiff travel restrictions on seven other countries. Trump said he's focused on countries that pose a terror threat, have a history of visa violations or lack safe travel documentation systems. Trump announced Wednesday that citizens of 12 countries — Myanmar, Afghanistan, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen — would be banned from visiting the United States. Seven more countries — Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela — face heightened travel restrictions. Some of the 12 countries on the banned list were targeted by a similar measure Trump enacted in his first term. Dawit Demoz, vice-president of the Eritrean Canadian Community Centre in Toronto, says his organization is "deeply concerned" about the implications of the new travel ban for the Eritrean diaspora. He says many families in the Eritrean community south of the border remain separated due to the ongoing political and humanitarian crisis in their home country, and the new ban further complicates their efforts to reunite. "[The ban] creates additional fear and uncertainty for those seeking safety and connection across borders," he said. "For our community, policies like this do not just impact travel but they deepen isolation, delay reunification and compound the emotional toll experienced by displaced individuals."

Cook This: 3 Middle Eastern recipes from Lugma, including springtime fattoush
Article content Murad has always seen herself as having one foot in the East and the other in the West. As a chef, she naturally likes to experiment with different foods. With each of Lugma's recipes, she asked herself, 'Does this fit? Should I change it? Should I tweak it? Should I keep it more traditional?' The answer wasn't always easy. Article content 'It really made me question, 'What are the recipes I want to put into this book?' And also, 'What do I want to say, and what do I want to showcase?' So I tried to balance traditional and reimagined dishes and then really hone into what it means to be a child of two cultures.' Article content Lugma means 'a bite' or 'a mouthful' in Arabic. Murad often thought of her grandfather while writing the book. He was skilled at eating with his hands, creating the perfect mouthful of rice, meat and chili sauce between his fingers. 'That's kind of what inspired the book,' says Murad. 'I love eating with my hands, and I think that making someone a bite of something is a way of showing them that you love them.' Article content Article content Murad didn't set out to write a Bahraini book, but as time passed, she realized how much the island had shaped her palate and made her who she was. At the heart of Lugma is the generosity of hospitality in her Bahraini home, just 50 kilometres long (the same size as Singapore), with a fascinating food culture. Article content 'I wanted to show how this small but mighty island pulls from so many different influences. Through history, it was a seaport and centre of trade. Because it was so small, it almost created its own identity by pulling on other identities. So this fusion of Arabic, Persian, Indian flavours all rolled into one is so unique. That's what I wanted to shout about from my corner of the Middle East.' Article content Article content Serves: 4 Article content For the salsa: 4 tbsp olive oil 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped 2 tsp coriander seeds, roughly crushed using a pestle and mortar 1 tsp Aleppo chili flakes 70 g (2 1/2 oz) jarred red (bell) peppers, very finely chopped 1 tbsp rose harissa 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar 2 tsp maple syrup 50 g (1 3/4 oz) walnuts, well toasted and roughly chopped into 1-cm (1/2-in) pieces 70 g (2 1/2 oz) pitted Nocellara (Castelvetrano) olives, roughly chopped 5 g (1/8 oz) mint leaves, roughly chopped 10 g (1/4 oz) parsley leaves, roughly chopped 2 tsp pomegranate molasses Article content Article content For the halloumi: 2 x 225 g (8 oz) blocks of halloumi, drained 2 tbsp olive oil 2 tsp maple syrup Article content Step 1 Article content Make the salsa by adding the oil and garlic to a small frying pan and placing it over a medium heat. Cook until beginning to bubble and smell fragrant, about 1 1/2 minutes, then add the coriander seeds and chili and cook for about 30 seconds more. Stir in the peppers, harissa, vinegar and maple syrup and cook for 5 minutes. Set aside to cool to room temperature, then transfer to a large bowl, add the remaining ingredients and mix to combine. Article content Step 2 Article content Preheat the oven to 180C convection (200C/400F). Article content Step 3 Article content Halve each of the halloumi blocks lengthways (so they are the same shape, but thinner now) to give you four rectangular pieces. Pat them well dry. Use a small sharp knife to make a crisscross pattern across one side of each piece, with incisions about 1.5-cm (5/8-in) deep. Article content Step 4 Article content Heat the oil in a medium frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the halloumi pieces and fry until nicely golden on both sides, about 4-5 minutes in total. Transfer to a small tray, crisscross side up, and pour over the excess oil left in the pan, followed by the maple syrup. Bake for 7 minutes, or until really nicely softened through the centre.
