Our UN special envoy to Burma Razali Ismail doesn't know what sobriquet the Burmese have given him. He and his son should disengage themselves from the business they are doing with the generals' relatives.

This has tainted his integrity as an impartial negotiator. E-passport for Burma did they say? The infrastructure there is so primitive, that there is no electricity to read that passport - or Razali's 'booklet' as the Burmese call it.

The generals would not allow him any questions about ' the lady '. This is actually what has been happening all along.

Razali should sit at any roadside 'tea' caf in downtown Rangoon and mix with the patrons. They will give him the actual take on the situation there.
