Abstract
The issue of proper security by the Haitian army during the upcoming November 4th elections is addressed by Susan Clyde, US Embassy spokesman, in response to comments by Jean-Bertrand Aristide. Secondly, a student is killed and three others seriously injured in violent clashes between the police and demonstrators over social and political discontent in the Dominican Republic. Following the Financial News, the Executive Board of the International Coffee Organization met in London to discuss the prospects of a new coffee agreement to assist in stabilizing the fluctuating prices of coffee. In the final segment, the ACP Working Group on Bananas meets in Brussels on Friday to formulate a common position for the regulation of the banana trade in Europe after 1992. The Caribbean countries hope that consideration will be given to the Caricom position which was drafted after the controversial proposals of the British government did not meet the expectations of the Caricom banana producers.
