February 12, 2005 (AP) - Four ambassadors from Myanmar have had their assignments in Western countries cut short as the military government continues a shake-up, diplomatic officials said yesterday.
The four outgoing envoys - serving in Canada , Australia , England and Switzerland - were summoned back to Yangon last month, the diplomats said insisting on anonymity.
Upon returning home, the ambassadors were told by a top military leader that their assignments were shortened to make way for new diplomats, they said.
Myanmar 's military government sacked former Prime Minister Gen Khin Nyunt in October for alleged insubordination and corruption.
