Myanmar coup latest THE CANADIAN CONNECTION
Saturday, March 6
Myanmar's generals are keen to leave politics after the coup and seek to improve relations with the U.S. and distance themselves from China, an Israeli-Canadian lobbyist hired by the junta tells Reuters.
Ari Ben-Menashe, a former Israeli military intelligence official who has previously represented Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe and Sudan's military rulers, says the generals also want to repatriate Rohingya Muslims who fled to neighboring Bangladesh.
Ben-Menashe says he and his firm Dickens & Madson Canada had been hired by the generals to help communicate with the U.S. and other countries who he said "misunderstood" them.
Suu Kyi had grown too close to China for the generals' liking, he says.
