Myanmar junta contingent offers to meet Suu

Suu Kyi lineage and member of dynasty that spares her the Burmese generals.They are offering Suu Kyi's father this year with military honours. She has always adhered to her mandate as each time the junta released her from house arrest every time she remains with her people.
Even 12 years of house arrest in the former capital Yangon have not broken her but her weapons as her charm and determination is cause of fear for Generals.

Myanmar's Senior General Than Shwe made the offer to meet with Aung San Suu Kyi during his talks Tuesday with UN special envoy Ibrahim Gambari, state television reported."Senior General Than Shwe said during his meeting with Mr. Gambari that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has been promoting four things -- confrontation, utter devastation, economic sanctions on Myanmar, and other sanctions," state television said.

"Then he passed his message that he would meet directly with her for dialogue if she announces that she has given up these four things," it added.

Myanmar again accused foreign media of stoking the protests that drew 100,000 people into the streets of Yangon on successive days last week.

"The United Nations had to send Mr. Gambari because of the one-sided reporting of the foreign media," state television said.A total of 2,093 people were arrested since September 25, but 692 have already been released, state television said.

The number includes protesters, their supporters, but also simple bystanders who have all been accused of violating a ban on gatherings of more than five people, state television announced.

"The government ordered people not to gather as a precaution, but people gathered anyway," it said.

Pro democracy protests were the greatest challenge in nearly two decades to the military, which has ruled the country also known as Burma for 45 years.
"They have a curfew in place and every night they arrest people," said Shari Villarosa, the chief US diplomat.
Her eyes are benevolent but her look steely the petite leader of Myanmar's pro-democracy Aung San Suu Kyi has struck fear into the hearts of the old generals in the country's leading military junta for years.
Aung San Suu Kyi did not go abroad to see her British husband, but she remained in Myanmar, even when her husband was suffering from cancer in 1997.
Her husband, Michael Aris, was also not permitted to enter Myanmar to see her, so the two never saw each other again. Her Husband Michael Aris died in 1999.Suu Kyi has also not seen her sons Alexander and Kim for years.
Suu Kyi has never given up the hope of a democratic future for her country.
When she was released from house arrest in 2002 she declared "a new dawn in the country," as the history is written for pro democracy movement which is catching global attention San Suu Kyi is emerging as Great Hero emerging from National Scene and she shall form the part of Burmese history for its restoration of people rule by the people for the people.

Suu Kyi returned to Myanmar in 1988 after finishing her education at Oxford and New York to visit her sick mother.As she nursed her for the dying woman, the military brutally suppressed a popular uprising.At her mother's grave, Suu Kyi took a pledge in front of thousands of supporters that she would always be at the service of the people, like her father."I am sure that the majority of people trust and follow her because she is Aung San's daughter.She symbolizes the hopes of 50 millions in this demoralized country," one diplomat in Yangon said.
Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy -NLD won more than 80 per cent of the seats in parliament in 1990, but the Junta regime never acknowledged her as leader and her victory.
Junta chief Than Shwe, 74, hated Suu Kyi so much that he has banned a word about her in his presence.General has now decided to seek a reconciliation and her name has been on everyone's lips in Yangon for weeks.
Yangon's residents call her "the democracy lady" with respect in their voices.
They are also filled with pride that Suu Kyi has become world famous through winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991.
On Saturday, supporters of the pro-democracy movement are set to join a global day of protest called by Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and other groups.
