The UN is working diligently with British artist to bring reform in Burma.

Gambari has already "met [with] ethnic leaders" (sic). The Red Cross is asking to see those who were detained during the protest. Gambari is scheduled to meet with Daw Suu Kyi on Wednesday. No timetable is set with the generals.

Because of a lack of concrete results, the Burmese people are growing frustrated with the UN and its envoys. Some Burmese call Gambari "kyauk yu pyan," which means "one who takes gems and then leaves,"

Paolo Sergio Pinheiro, UN special rapporteur on human rights in Burma, will follow later this month.

It is at this time unknown if demonstators will see this month as a time to rise. Perhaps organizing is taking place in quiet rooms. Or, perhaps, there are larger concerns - like, how are they going to get the piano in?
