FRUITLESS EFFORT EXTENDS IN BURMA


Two Gambari aides were seen by neighbors outside the gate of Suu Kyi's residence Friday morning, shouting Gambari's name. They left when nobody came out to meet them.
Gambari and Suu Kyi were to have met Wednesday at a guest house but the Nobel Peace Prize laureate did not come. Neither the U.N. nor the government have said anything about the aborted meeting.
"We don't really know the reason why she did not meet Mr. Gambari. But we knew that she was unhappy with the situation," said Nyan Win, spokesman for Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy.
"She sets a time limit for everything and she may be unhappy with something," he said, without elaborating.
While allowing Gambari and other U.N. officials into the country, the junta says it will follow its own so-called "road map to democracy" which includes elections in 2010 under a recently promulgated Constitution which guarantees the military will maintain its grip on power
