Chinese Arrival Bicentennial Anniversary-

The Republic of Trinidad & Tobago celebrates a Public Holiday in recognition of the Bi Centennial of Chinese Arrival on their shores. This historic event was precipitated by the British introduction of Indentureship to replace labour on plantations after the so-called Emancipation of Afrikan Slaves in the Caribbean.

The British East India Company's vessel "FORTITUDE" brought 200 Chinese male passengers to Trinidad in 1806.

MAY THE ANCESTORS BE PLEASED

Norway leads the way

In its forthcoming national budget for 2007 the Norwegian government will propose to the Parliament (Stortinget) to cancel NOK 520 million of official debts from Ecuador, Egypt, Jamaica, Peru and Sierra Leone.

The claims originate from the Norwegian Ship Export Campaign (1976-80).

- This campaign represented a development policy failure. As a creditor country Norway has a shared responsibility for the debts that followed. In cancelling these claims Norway takes the responsibility for allowing these five countries to terminate their remaining repayments on these debts, says Minister of International Development, Erik Solheim.

The Government proposes that these claims be cancelled unilaterally and unconditionally, without budgetary allocation and without reporting the cancelled amounts as Official Development Assistance (ODA) to the OECD. The debt cancellation will, in other words, be additional to Norway's ordinary ODA.

FORGIVEN DEBTS ?

THINGS FALL APART

"But he was not the man to go about telling his neighbors that he was in error. And so people said he had no respect for the gods of the clan. His enemies said that his good fortune had gone to his head."
