Abstract

Montserrat ‘s coalition government has axed its agricultural minister. Next, thousands of Guyanese line up to pay their last respect to Guyana’s President the late Cheddi Jagan. In the following, the British dependent territory of Anguilla is not ready for independence. After breaking away from the federation of St Kitts, Nevis and Anguilla, it is satisfied with its present political state. Next, the American Association for World Health reports that the United States embargo on Cuba is having a devastating impact on the health of ordinary Cubans living in the communist ruled island. However, the American government has refuted such claims.
