UN envoy Ibrahim Gambari attended the UN Security Council and said he is looking forward to make his next visit in Myanmar scheduled for early November in order to see "all people and stay as long as possible."

Gambari’s three-day visit to the troubled Asian country was, as he put it, "tightly controlled", and he wasn’t allowed to get in touch with the people he wanted to. He had to comply to the local regime’s program in order to earn some liberty.

During his staying he reportedly asked the military leaders to take a series of issues in consideration and act on them as soon as possible. The matters Gambari addressed included national dialog in order to achieve "results reflecting the will of the people" as soon as possible.

"We want time-bound, concrete and serious results," Gambari said.

The UN special envoy managed to meet Suu Kyi twice during his short visit and according to his sayings she was looking better then a year ago when he visited her in Yangon. Gambari said that the UN will also work to bridge the “deep mistrust” which exists between the military leaders and Suu Kyi. When asked about Suu Kyi position regarding the sanctions against the military, Gambari said he couldn’t interpret what Myanmar’s democratic leader had said.

As of Friday, 2,095 people arrested during the crack-down had been released, including 728 Buddhist monks, and the local government promised more detainees will be released.

Gambari denied the local leaders’ claim that the demonstrations were set off by the opposition party and the protests were limited to Yangon and Mandalay, thus making it an isolated case.

"It is clear that the demonstrations over the past few weeks are for the most part the expression of deep and widespread discontent about socio-economic conditions in the country," he said.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon labeled the military crack-down as "abhorrent and unacceptable," and also expressed great concern over the situation and the measures implemented by the local regime.   

After hearing Ban and Gambari, the US and Great Britain urged for harsh sanctions while China suggested no one should intervene as the Myanmar people should resolve their own problems, thus leaving the 15-nation council without a official statement.

"What we are considering is any further steps, whether it be additional sanctions or other types of actions," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said.
