UN envoy extends Burma visit after Suu Kyi no-show

United Nations special envoy Ibrahim Gambari is extending his five-day visit to Burma until today in an apparent effort to meet detained opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

Ms Suu Kyi failed to appear at a scheduled meeting on Wednesday amid speculation that she may be dissatisfied with the UN's hitherto fruitless efforts to affect change in the military-ruled nation.
