dc.description.abstractHaitian president Jean-Bertrand Aristide calls for the removal of Army Commander in Chief Raoul Cédras stating that amnesty agreements reached between the OAS and himself do not apply to Cédras. Jamaican authorities order a special coroner’s inquest into the death of gangster Lester Llyod Coke who was allegedly burnt to death in his prison cell. Meanwhile, Prime Minister, Dame Eugenia Charles is wary of attempts to include bananas in current GATT negotiations for fear that the European Commission will renege on its commitment to Caribbean bananas after 1992. British Caribbean dependencies, Montserrat, British Virgin Islands and Anguilla are set to sign programing agreements under the Lomé Convention concerning disbursement of funds for the next five years. A British sympathizer forecasts that Cuba must think of her future by steering a new course in democratic reform since she can no longer rely on backing from the former Soviet Union. Finally, CCN and Media Association of Trinidad and Tobago (MATT) raise objections to NCC’s granting exclusive media rights to privately owned radio station Trinidad Broadcasting Company (TBC) as well as the accreditation fee being charged by TBC to newspapers wanting to cover NCC’s staged events.en_US
