Red Cross Kicked Out of Burma

The BBC reports today that the Red Cross is being kicked out of Burma.

Who can work in Burma?

Yes:
World Vision International
Oxfam
UN
The World Bank
Unocal (Yes, this is technically legal. The US put a ban on new investment in Burma in 1997 and banned imports of goods in 2003.)

No:
Some of Doctors Without Borders
Henri Dunant Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue
The Global Fund

The Burma Campaign UK has a great paper about the hassles of being an NGO in Burma.
