Caribbean Report 03-05-1995
There are calls for the Saint Lucian government to step down over alleged misuse of UN funds. The latest criticism of the Compton Administration has come from within its own ranks. Financial Services Minister Rufus Bousquet questions whether the government could rise above these allegations. Also, the country's banana farmers and six of the most powerful trade unions have proposed a two-day national strike. In Jamaica, a coroner's inquest will examine the circumstances surrounding the death of prisoner Ivan Morgan. A change in American policy clamping down on future Cuban immigration has received mixed reaction from Havana to Washington. Rosie Hayes speaks to Cubans waiting to apply for entry into America. Dr. Philip Brenner, Professor of International Relations at the American University comments on whether there is more to this decision. In cricket, the British press has already been predicting a serious defeat for the West Indies. Hugh Crosskill reports on the reaction of the West Indies captain and fans to this defeat.
