"We believe that the credibility of the political process is going to depend on whether it is inclusive enough so that all can participate"( U.N)


U.N. envoy to Burma Ibrahim Gambari speaks to The Associated Press during an interview in Jakarta, Indonesia, Friday, Feb. 22, 2008. Gambari said Friday he was frustrated with Burma's slow progress toward democracy, but was hopeful that Nobel Peace Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi would be allowed to take part in planned elections.

"Sometimes, I myself am frustrated that the tangible results are not faster or we have not achieved more, but we have to build on what we have and continue to press for more results," Gambari said in an interview.

He said he expected to visit Burma in the first week of March to resume talks with the country's military rulers, but complained of the restrictions the junta placed on him when he was there on previous trips.

"I'm asking to be allowed to see more people, with more freedom and to stay longer, that's my wish," he said.

The statement of British ambassador is a very good point!! Probably, most Burmese are ambiguous about her status in England, as she lived there so long and have two children with Britons.
