AMERICAN REGIONAL REPORT:
CARIBBEAN & CENTRAL AMERICA - NOW AVAILABLE |
| We focus on the violent
insurgency that is threatening to sweep away Haiti's President Jean-Bertrand
Aristide. With no coherent international response to the rebel uprising
in the north and centre of Haiti, Aristide's political future is very much
in the balance. Elsewhere in the Caribbean, Dominican President Hipólito Mejía outmanoeuvres his rivals to win the candidacy for the ruling PRD; Cuba appoints a military colonel to shake up the tourism ministry; Guyana's government's efforts to improve Indian rights are overshadowed by death squad revelations, and Trinidad's leaders discuss constitutional reform. We also preview elections in Antigua & Barbuda. In Central America, we look ahead to elections in El Salvador and Panama and assess the early days of the Berger administration in Guatemala.
