dc.description.abstractThis report highlights the mourning of Dame Nita Barrow in the region and beyond. Dame Nita was the sister of Barbados' first Prime Minister Errol Barrow and was appointed Governor-General of Barbados in 1990 following an outstanding career in national, regional and international public service. Journalist Bertram Niles comments on the funeral arrangements and what the Barbados government had to say on the issue. People on the street of Bridgetown give their reactions to Dame Nita's death. Errol Barrow's daughter, Lesley explains what Dame Nita meant to her personally and comments on the achievements of her aunt. Caribbean Report has Dame Nita Barrow's last public speech given when she distributed gifts to the needy at the local Salvation Army. As tributes pour in from across the region, St. Vincent's Ambassador to the UN and OAS, Kingsley Lane, spoke on behalf of Caribbean diplomats in Washington. A Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group which includes Jamaica's Foreign Minister Seymour Mullings has been set up to visit Nigeria to help resolve that country's problem with the Commonwealth. Nigeria was suspended from the grouping after the military regime executed nine environmental activists including author Ken Saro-Wima. In Guyana, Foreign Minister Bharrat Jagdeo is hoping for an early resumption of operations at the Omai Gold Mines. Orin Gordon assesses the impact of the forced closure of the mine. In the British Parliament, Labour MP Bernie Grant raised the issue of voluntary repatriation of members of the black community by referring to the recent Brixton riots.en_US
