BURMA DIGEST » Article » U.N. chief trying to persuade Burma junta to allow aid in posted: "RANGOON, Burma (AP) — U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon sought to persuade Burma’s ruling generals Thursday to let in a torrent of foreign assistance for cyclone victims rather than the current trickle.
“The United Nations and all the international community stand ready to help to overcome the tragedy,” Ban said after arriving in the country Thursday. “The main purpose of my being here is to demonstrate my solidarity.”"
