Burmese Junta Announces Election Date
-------------------------------------



Burma’s military junta has announced it will hold the country’s first
elections in two decades on November 7th. The main Burmese opposition
party, the National League for Democracy, has already said it will
boycott the elections because the junta has barred the pro-democracy
leader Aung San Suu Kyi and all other current or former political
prisoners from running.
