| dc.description.abstract | As the Gulf crisis looms on the horizon, Trinidad and Tobago is assessing its options and stepping up with its domestic preparations to deal with this matter should a crisis occur. Meetings are apace with the Prime Minister and Leaders of the Opposition parties and other representatives in the country in order to formulate measures to protect the population. An update from Dominica and Cuba on their views on the situation in Iraq is also provided. In Antigua, there is uncertainty as to whether Mr. John St. Louis, Antigua’s Finance Minister has submitted his resignation. Dr. Ivor Heathe, Leader of the Opposition, United Democratic Party provides his perspective regarding some of Mr. St. Louis’ plans for the future. He contends there was no announcement on whether Mr. Louis had resigned given that he has been out of the country for quite a while. Expatriates in Nevis are very disturbed as they have been targeted for arrest of drug charges. They claim that marijuana is being planted in their homes and personal property by people who tip off the police. One expatriate believes that they are being charged unfairly and it may stem from Nevisians becoming unhappy that expatriates are being hired for jobs which they would like to have. Both the Prime Minister of Nevis and the Foreign Minister in charge of Nevisian Affairs have refuted these claims by the expatriates of unfair charges laid on them. In Canada, great publicity is being mounted on Ben Johnson who will run his first race after he was stripped of his 100 metre Olympic gold medal. Concerns are raised as to why Johnson is making this comeback at the age of 29. Mr. Mark Lee, Canadian track and field commentator, believes that Johnson has the personality to perform and he is also a tremendous gifted physical athlete who can perform at his optimal ability. | en_US |
