Junta sidesteps democracy moves

Despite its rulers' claims to the contrary, Burma shows no signs of
moving towards a democratic system, says John Aglionby
Thursday October 9, 2003
This week was supposed to have been a watershed moment in the Burmese
military junta's relationship with the nine other members of the
Association of South-East Asian Nations (Asean).
Asean had apparently been stirred from its years-long slumber by the
continued detention of Burma's democracy icon, Aung San Suu Kyi
(albeit under house arrest rather than in an unidentified prison), as
well as the personal intervention of the UN secretary-general, Kofi
Annan, and the failure of his Burma envoy, Razali Ismail, to spark
progress in the dialogue between Burma's generals and Ms Suu Kyi
during a visit to Rangoon last week.
