DEVELOPMENTS


Former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide could leave Jamaica as soon as
late next week, a spokesman for the Jamaican government said Friday. That
assessment is based on how quickly Aristide can finalize arrangements to
move to South Africa, spokesman Huntley Medley said. Aristide and his wife,
Mildred, arrived in Jamaica on March 15 after a relatively brief stay in the
Central African Republic following his Feb. 29 resignation.

• The United Nations is finding little donor interest in helping ordinary
Haitians fight grinding poverty as their country emerges from political
crisis, aid officials in Geneva said Friday. The global body has gathered
just $7 million of the $35 million it has budgeted to help the struggling
Caribbean nation, said Elisabeth Byrs, spokeswoman for the U.N. Office for
the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
