Myanmar's ruling junta agreed Friday to "allow all aid workers regardless of nationalities" into the country to help cyclone survivors, U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said.
A well-known Burmese satirist is in jail after providing aid to cyclone survivors
Burma's military rulers have approved visas for dozens of international relief workers and were allowing more foreigners into areas devastated by a cyclone that left millions in need of aid
Aid soon will be able to reach the more than 1 million cyclone victims still waiting for their first assistance if Burma's military regime allows the assistance
Analysis: A TIME writer, just expelled from Burma, explains how anger and foreign aid could help unhinge the ruling junta
Myanmar has agreed to let its South Asian neighbors send medical personnel and an assessment team to the cyclone-ravaged country, more than two weeks after a storm that killed tens of thousands of people.
Two weeks after Cyclone Nargis devastated Myanmar, the country's reclusive junta leader Than Shwe visited a refugee camp outside Yangon, according to video broadcast on state television.
With tens of thousands dead and more than a million people at risk, the cyclone's victims still have the junta on their minds
U.S. first lady Laura Bush -- in a rare foray into foreign policy -- called on Myanmar's military junta to "step aside," give up the "terror campaigns" against its people and allow for a democratic Myanmar in a commentary published in Wednesday's Wall Street Journal.
United Nations envoy to Myanmar Ibrahim Gambari arrived Saturday for talks with senior government officials aimed at finding a peaceful resolution to ongoing clashes between the military's ruling junta and pro-democracy activists, a Western diplomat told CNN.

Talks between U.N. envoy Ibrahim Gambari and Myanmar's secretive military leader were stalled for another day on Monday.
Last week's crackdown on Burmese protesters made headlines. But the nation's military junta remains a mystery
United Nations envoy Ibrahim Gambari met Sunday with Myanmar's detained pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi in an effort to quell recent tensions between the country's military leaders and protesters, the U.N. confirmed in a news release.
Myanmar has rejected rumors that its military leader was ill and had been deposed.
Myanmar's new prime minister is Lt. Gen Soe Win, a former defense chief who entered the regime's top ranks only last year.
Myanmar Prime Minister Khin Nyunt has been ousted and is under house arrest on corruption charges, a Thai government spokesman has told news agencies.
