  • The National League for Democracy (NLD) termed the visit of UN Special Envoy Ibrahim Gambari as a failure. In a statement released on August 29, the NLD charged that although Gambari came to Myanmar representing UN Secretary-General Ban ki-Moon, he had only met people chosen by the ruling junta. Citing the lack of progress made by Mr. Gambari, the NLD stated that his six visits to the country were a “waste of time.” Gambari was in Myanmar from August 18-23 but failed to meet with leaders of the junta or with Aung San Suu Kyi1.

    Forbes magazine meanwhile rated Suu Kyi as the 38th most powerful woman in the world and as the 12th most powerful female politician2.
