UN EXPECTATION EVAPORATED



UN EXPECTATION EVAPORATED

It has been reported by reliable sources from the diplomatic community that
the UN mission that ended last week has been a failure as both sides  have
been intransigent. The World Bank offered $1 billion aid package to SPDC
generals if they agree to have a dialogue with Opposition  Leader Aung San
Suu Kyi's party, National League for Democracy. There were some other
demands made by the UN representative and the World Bank delegation.
According to the very said sources, the generals have no interest in the aid
package because they see it  as an attached   string to have political
reforms that will help the poor nation go back on track. The generals said
that the aid package means nothing to them.
