Abstract
In Angola, the first contingent of Cuban troops to leave the country has been given a grand send-off. An estimated three thousand of the fifty thousand troops are expected to return to Cuba. The return of the soldiers are supervised by the United Nations Military Observers under Brazilian General Pericles Gomes. In Cuba, preparations are underway for the return of the first batch of troops. At the Conference on Chemical Disarmament in the Paris, a report indicated that Trinidad and Tobago and the Ivory Coast were the only two black nations that did not boycott the South African Foreign Minister's speech. This was refuted by the Trinidad and Tobago delegate, Rabindranath Permananad, the islands' permanent representative to the United Nations. Efforts are been made to avert another row between Britain and its Caribbean dependency, Montserrat on health care issues as it relates to specialist treatment in Britain.
