Description:
Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi has often been likened to Nelson Mandela, the recently retired President of South Africa who was long a symbol of resistance against the injustices of apartheid. His decision this June to invite Lt-Gen Khin Nyunt to the inauguration ceremony of his successor raised many eyebrows amongst pro-democracy activists, but now some are wondering if Mandela can help Suu Kyi find her F. W. de Klerk.
