Bangladesh is going to welcome the second most powerful leader from Burma General Maung Aye in the next month. May be Bangladesh Army wants to learn strategies from Burmese junta. Recently, Bangladesh has appointed Major General Abu Roshde Rokonudda as an Ambassador to Burma ignoring scores of caeer diplomats for the position. Sending a Bangladeshi General to Burma is a wrong message that ignores international will for a democratic Burma.
