Wilentz, Amy | May 3, 1993 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on various sociopolitical issues from different parts of the world as of May 1993. Political activist Chris Hani's assassination, apparently at the hands of a white Polish immigrant, who belonged to a quasi-Nazi Afrikaner organization, is more than another South African personal tragedy. It has decapitated the minority movement within the African National Congress. The day after Haiti's first democratically elected President Jean-Bertrand Aristide was ousted, he was rumored to be on his way back to Port-au-Prince and power. But if a proposed U.N. settlement of the crisis is accepted by both sides, Aristide will have been in exile for more than eighteen months before he returns to Haiti.
