Abstract
As Guyana’s President, Cheddi Jagan, condition worsens, Guyana may have to look for a new Head. A new report in the United States has given the Caribbean a mixed review in terms of its efforts to fight illicit drug trafficking. The United States and Barbados have tried to play down the controversy over a visit by an envoy of President Bill Clinton. Antigua’s Prime Minister is said to be unhappy that Richard Clarke of Mr Clinton’s National Security Council is visiting individual states rather than meeting them as a group. The President of Peru, Alberto Fujimori, visits Cuba and the Dominican Republic to help resolve the hostage crisis in Lima. The student body of the University of the West Indies, St Augustine, has brought the campus to a standstill. Among other things, they are outraged about the killing of one of its students in a classroom. They blame it on the lack of proper security.
