Abstract
A public poll published in the Dominican Republic puts the left-wing party of Juan Bosch 10 points in the lead for May elections. In the next segment, Bahamas and Jamaica calls for closer international cooperation in the worldwide fight against narcotics and adequate funding to ensure its success at the first day of the United Nations Special Assembly on Drugs. Cuba announces its resumption of Cuban troops from Angola by mid 1991. Following the Financial News, the Surinamese government continues efforts to end the rebel insurgency despite the setback last week when Desi Bouterse withdrew from the peace talks. In the sporting segment, the second day of a three-day cricket match between England and Jamaica is featured. The report concludes with an apology of the BBC’s inability to air the report of the return of three Haitian exiled opposition leaders Antoine Izmery, Max Montreuil and Max Bourjolly.
