CIO THE HOME NEWS WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8, 1994 WORLD NATION OAS tightens its trade tee against Haiti The Associated Press On the second day of its 24th annual meeting, the OAS passed a resolution approving a ban on all commercial flights to and from Haiti and prohibiting any financial transactions with the Carribbean nation. The document called for a freeze on Haitian assets abroad and refused to recognize the re gime of Gen. Raoul Cedras and the May 1 1 appointment of Emil Jonassaint as provisional president. The OAS condemned torture, summary executions, arbitrary arrests, and rape committed by Haiti's armed forces. But it stopped short of approving military action to end the crisis.

"All solutions must be peaceful and multilateral," said Sergio Abreu, foreign minister of Uruguay. "If not, the medicine could be worse than the disease." Strobe Talbott, the U.S. deputy secretary of state, said the embargo was not tight enough and that force could be used if the crisis led to a large exodus of Hai tians to the United States. Jamaican Foreign Minister Benjamin Clare attacked the Dominican Republic for allowing smuggling to continue across its 240-mile land border with Haiti, in violation of the May 26 U.N. embargo.

The countries share the island of Hispaniola. "If everyone obeyed the embargo, the Haitian regime would fall in a matter of weeks," he said. In response, Dominican Foreign Minister Juan Aristides Taveras Guzman, lashed back: "The Dominican Republic cannot be used as a scapegoat for the international community's inability to deal with the Haitian crisis." BELEM, Brazil The Organization of American States tightened trade sanctions against Haiti's military regime yesterday, but ruled out military intervention to return exiled President Jean-Ber-trand Aristide to power. Cuba: Refugees hijacked freighter; Refugee wave feared by U.N. 1.5Mto3M may flow over Rwanda border The Associated Press "But 2 million is a reasonable figure to work with," he said.

And humanitarian agencies should start planning on the basis of that figure now rather than wait until the fighting stops to do an accurate assessment and waste two months in the process, he added. More than 200,000 people have been killed in Rwanda since President Juvenal Habyarimana, a member of the majority Hutu tribe, The Associated Press MEXICO CITY Cuba said yesterday that its coast guard fired on refugees fleeing the country in a freighter because the ship had committed piracy and kidnapping. Foreign Ministry spokesman Miguel Alfonso said those who seized the ship had tied up members of the crew opposed to their flight and he called it a "flagrant" case of kidnapping and piracy, according to the government's Prensa Latina news agency. Alfonso said a Cuban coast guard launch fired at the ship Saturday in an effort to block its entry into international waters, but he said the case remains under investigation, the agency said in a dispatch monitored in Mexico City. y- It was the first official response from Havana to the incident, although Cuba's Interests Section in Washington had defended its gay-ernment's role in the case.

More than 60 Cubans reportedly fled aboard the freighter Rene Bedia Morales, which they seized at the port of Mariel, west of Havana. Four were shot and wounded during the pursuit. 1 The freighter Rene Bedia Morales returned to Cuba Saturday with the ship's chief engineer and first mate. The rest of the people aboard, including the captain, asked to stay in the United States-. U.S.

Coast Guard officials have said they are not treating the cast; as a hijacking so far. MUSLIMS COMPLAIN i lirnr' r- -i 1 i 'ri -uiTi KIGALI, Rwanda The U.N. commander is bracing for one of his greatest fears: a "human tidal wave" that may soon surge out of Rwanda and leave as many as 2 million people in neighboring Burundi. As the rebels of the Rwandan Patriotic Front push government forces and their supporters out of the rest of the country, the southwestern corner of Rwanda is filling up rapidly. Nobody really knows how many displaced people there are.

More than 300,000 have fled into neighboring Tanzania. Thousands of others have gone to Zaire and Uganda. And Burundi, Rwanda's tiny neighbor to the south, already has been swamped with vast numbers of Rwandans from earlier fighting. The principal role of the U.N. force here is humanitarian.

Once a cease-fire goes into effect, the millions of homeless will have to be dealt with and dealt with quickly. "We're planning for a scenario of about 2 million," said Maj. Gen. Romeo Dallaire, the Canadian who commands the U.N. force in Rwanda.

If the rebels continue their drive to the end, agencies should be prepared to deal with the tidal wave over the border, the general said. Dallaire met Monday with Maj. Gen. Paul Kagame, commander of the rebel army, in the village of Kabuga, 10 miles east of Kigali. Among the things they discussed was the problem of displaced people.

As the rebels draw the noose tighter around government forces in the south, some people are afraid of a last, savage wave of massacres. "The massacres have scaled down," Kagame said.

LONDON McDonald's may have inadvertently offended thousands of Muslims by printing a Koran scripture on throwaway hamburger bags, then staged a retreat yesterday after Islamic leaders complained. The stir caused by the world's leading purveyor of fast food began with a World Cup promotion that featured flags of the 24 competitors in this summer's soccer championship, including that of Saudi Arabia. The green and white flag contains an Arabic passage that can be translated as "There is no God but Allah, and Mohammed is his Prophet," sacred words that Muslims say should not be crumpled It could be 1.5 million.

Or it could be 3 million. It's anybody's guess. Affairs. "It is normal when people have used the bag they would throw it away. This would be desecration and perhaps Muslims would find it offensive." The Saudi ambassador; pi.

Ghazi Algosaibi, promptly expressed his concerns to the McDonald's vice president for marketing, John Hawkes. A spokesman at the Saudi embassy described the communication 'as "a very polite letter requesting the withdrawal of the bags," but he would not elaborate. A McDonald's spokesman, Mike Love, acknowledged yesterday that the promotion was a mistake and blamed it on advice from an outside consulting agency. McDonald's could not immediately say how long it would be before thje Saudi flags would stop appearing, however. Sacranie said he is satisfied with the response, even if McDonald's continues to distribute the bags for a while.
