In a statement read by its President Leslie Kojo Christian ( Ghana), the Council emphasized the importance of the early release of all political prisoners and remaining detainees. It called on the Government and all parties concerned to work together towards a de-escalation of the situation and a peaceful solution. The Council stressed the need for the Government of Myanmar to create the necessary conditions, for a “genuine” dialogue with all concerned parties and ethnic groups. It welcomed the Government’s public commitment to work with the United Nations and the appointment of a liaison officer with Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, but stressed the importance of follow-up by action. In that regard, the Council underscored its support for Mr. Gambari’s return as early as possible in order to facilitate concrete actions and tangible results. The Council reaffirmed its “strong and unwavering” support for the Secretary-General’s good offices mission. It welcomed Human Rights Council resolution S-5/1 of 2 October, as well as the important role played by the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries in urging restraint, calling for a peaceful transition to democracy and supporting the good offices mission.UN Security CouncilEnglish{2272c851-d7ad-2b85-b104-34561f0cb17f}Thu, 11 Oct 2007 22:30:25 GMThttp://www.irrawaddy.org/article.php?art_id=8981"Due to the lack of food and the extreme highs and lows of temperature, some monks and laypeople felt like they were suffocating.

A media black-out has been imposed on the UN envoy's visit to Burma where an anti-regime protest rages, though the tension has significantly declined today. However a Burmese analyst said protests against the junta will continue in the next few days. "Demonstrations lessened because today is Sunday and the security is too tight. If the junta relax the security, there will be fresh demonstrations," he said. Speculation is rife that the No.2 man in the junta, Vice Senior General Maung Aye, who has been identified by the opposition to be one general who doesn't want to shoot protesters, met Aung San Suu Kyi a few days earlier. However, many Burmese are still not ready to accept that this is true. Meanwhile, diplomatic sources claimed that Russia wants to see a compromise in Burma but the main obstacle remains the head of junta Senior General Than Shwe.
