| dc.description.abstract | The Haitian government has filed a legal complaint against three dozen people who have links with former President Jean Claude Duvalier. They are his wife, mother and father-in-law. It is alleged that they have pillaged the treasury. Next, eight Haitians are now stranded in St Lucia after being deported from Dominica, Venezuela and Guadeloupe. They are now guest of a St. Lucian family. Aldet Complaints Bureau claims that their human rights were violated by the St Lucian government who they believe should pay for their return home. In the following former deputy Prime Minister of Grenada was removed from her post in the government. She says she will not be leaving the government of Prime Minister Dr Keith Mitchell. In the following, there are complaints in Guyana over the way in which the illness of Guyana’s President Dr Cheddi Jagan is being reported in one of the countries two daily newspapers. Next, in the Bahamas, parliament has been dissolved in an election call for March 14th 1997. It will be a two way fight between the Free National Party and the Progressive Liberal Party. Issues involved in this election will be crime, unemployment and investor confidence in the Bahamian economy. Next, former Speaker of the Trinidad and Tobago Parliament and political leader of the National Alliance for Reconstruction believes that the Member of Parliament for Point Fortin should vacant his seat in parliament and allow a by-election to decide his fate. Finally, the Indian cricket team has arrived in Jamaica to begin a series against the West Indies. The Executive Secretary of the West Indies Cricket Board discusses the idea that the world cup should be held every two years instead of four. | en_US |
