CALGARY HERALD Monday, October 25, 1 993 A3 Mulronoy doctoral Barbados' university promised $10 million MONTREAL (CP) Former prime minister Brian Mulroney picked up an honorary doctorate from the University of the West Indies in Barbados on Saturday, three years after promising the institution $10 million. Mulroney "is being awarded this degree for his statesmanship, international leadership and contribution to Caribbean development," the university said in a statement from Barbados. Sanka Price, news editor of the Nation newspaper in Bridgetown, said Mulroney arrived in the Caribbean country Friday with his wife Mila and two sons. "It's the first such degree I've accepted since I left office and I'm especially Price of the Nation. A hotel employee refused to say who was picking up the tab for the Mulroneys.

A room for two costs up to $450 US including meals, with another 15 per cent tax and service charges tacked on, the employee said. The Nation also printed a photo Saturday of Mulroney with the host of U.S. TV show Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. Under the headline Rich and Famous Come Calling, the article said he had a chance encounter with Robin Leach at the Barbados airport. "Their familiar greetings for each other hinted it was not their first encounter," the newspaper said.

delighted because of my long association with the West Indies," Mulroney told the newspaper. In March 1990, Mulroney announced that Canada would forgive $182 million in development loans to Caribbean Commonwealth countries. He also pledged a $10-million project over five years to strengthen the administration of the University of the West Indies, which serves 14 Caribbean countries. At the time, Mulroney said the cost to Canada was minimal because low interest rates and long repayment periods of up to 50 years reduce the real value on repayment to only about 10 per cent of the original value. And he chided critics of the forgiven loan as misguided and uncharitable, saying Canada had a duty to assist developing countries.

But at least one Canadian vacationing in Barbados on Saturday took issue with the former prime minister's largesse. Mulroney "gave away $180 million of taxpayers' money without asking them," Griff Layne, a criminal lawyer from Vancouver, said from Bridgetown. "I'm outraged," said Layne, a frequent visitor with family roots in Barbados. "I know very well that if you were to ask the Canadian population whether Barbados should give the ex-prime minister an honorary degree because he gave them a bunch of money, I'm sure they would resoundingly say no." In receiving the honorary doctorate of laws degree, Mulroney joins the ranks of Nelson Mandela, who got the doctorate two years ago, and a world cricket champion, last year's recipient. Mulroney is staying at Sandy Lane Hotel the "premier hotel on the island" and returns to Canada today, said THE SECOND FRONT LOODY COUP FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY Ousted leader calls for troops KFI't kn or rues.

The ministers rejected an offer by the army's chief of staff Sunday to restore the government to elected officials in return for an amnesty for the military. "The criminals who overthrew democratic institutions and killed democratically elected leaders must be brought to justice to be judged and punished," Leonard Nyangoma, the former civil service minister, said in Bujumbura. Nyangoma said others killed by the military included the speaker of parliament, the minister of interior and the head of the intelligence service.

Pope John Paul and the head of Burundi's powerful Roman Catholic church, Bishop Barnard Bududia, both added their voices to those calling for the army to stand down and give the government back to civilians. Bududia's statement was broadcast on Burundi Radio, which is in the hands of the military-backed government. In addition, the church has strong support among the majority Hutu tribe. On Sunday, 4,000 people marched through the streets of Bujumbura carrying placards calling for the release of the bodies of Ndadaye and others killed in the coup. An estimated 100,000 Hutus already have fled to Rwanda.

BUJUMBURA (AP) The ousted prime minister of Burundi appealed Sunday for foreign military intervention to restore order in the Central African country. "Already people are killing each other and we have no power," Sylvie Kinigi said at the French Embassy in the Burundian capital, where he and seven other ministers have taken refuge since the coup four days before. "We are asking countries with good relations with us to send us troops," he said without identifying the countries. The coup began with the storming of the National Palace before dawn on Thursday. The military said President Melchior Ndadaye was killed shortly after the storming.

Ndadaye was elected in June. The 40-year-old former businessman was the first member of the majority Hutu tribe to lead the country since independence from Belgium in 1962. The military consists almost entirely ofTutsis. Western ambassadors met with army officers Saturday and Sunday to put pressure on them to return power to what remains of the elected government. France, Belgium and the United States backed up their demands by cutting off millions of dollars in aid.

Aristide says he's not opposed to including opponents in his government, but only after he returns. UN envoy Dante Caputo presented the proposal Saturday night. UN spokesman Eric Fait said: "It is apparent that if it (the pace toward settlement) doesn't move much faster, then the UN Security Council will press on for an embargo on all commercial items." A senior UN official said such a recommendation could go before the Security Council as soon as today.

Under the UN plan, army commander Raoul Cedras is to quit and Aristide is to return by Saturday. But Cedras has resisted quitting, and the country has been plagued by violence blamed mostly on opponents of Aristide.

Overnight, six people were reported shot in Petionville, a suburb of Port-au-Prince. Their conditions were not known. The new proposal attempts to win some concessions from Aristide before allowing his return from 25 months of exile. It asks for parliament to enact a general amnesty law, for Aristide to accept political opponents into his cabinet and for the world body to lift the weapons and petroleum embargo. Aristide decreed an amnesty for polit PORT-AU-PRINCE (AP) UN officials welcomed a peace proposal by opponents of Haiti's exiled president but said Sunday the army and legislators must move faster to restore democracy or face a broadened commercial embargo.

A UN spokesman said the proposal by a group of legislators opposed to exiled President Jean-Bertrand Aristide represents a shift toward accepting the UN plan to end military rule in Haiti. Still, UN officials were trying to assess whether the plan announced Saturday night would ease the current problems or was a delaying tactic. The United Nations reapplied a weapons and petroleum embargo last JERUSALEM (AP) Islamic militants shot and stabbed two Israeli soldiers to death Sunday in the occupied Gaza Strip, one of a series of violent events linked to the peace process. Other Incidents included the death of a 23-year-old Palestinian woman caught in a shootout between supporters and opponents of the Israel-PLO peace plan, as well as an alert called by the Fatah faction to try to prevent assassinations after a third prominent activist was killed last week. The Islamic Resistance Movement, or Hamas, distributed a leaflet saying that its military branch Izzidin al-Qassam was responsible for "the kidnapping and kiiling of two of the enemy's dogs in a heroic A military source at the scene said the two men were shot dead after accepting a ride in a car with Israeli licence plates that turned out to have been stolen a month ago from a Gaza settlement.

They were shot in the car, abandoned one kilometre south of the nearby Khan Yunis refugee camp, and their bodies were found one kilometre further south. The army said a Hamas leaflet was found in the car and the soldiers' two M-16 automatic rifles were missing. It kept the story under censorship for over 12 hours. The Islamic fundamentalist group opposes the Israel-PLO accord that will start Palestinian autonomy in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank city of Jericho within months. In Gaza, Hamas distributed pictures of the bloody victims just after they were killed.

The statement said the men were also stabbed and their radios taken. The statement was accompanied by copies of the the civil Identification card of one of the slain men. The name was legible but was withheld pending notification of relatives. Cabinet ministers said the attacks will not alter the release of about 760 Palestinian prisoners expected for today, a day before the negotiations on implementing the peace plan resume in the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Taba. The deaths were the first since three soldiers were killed in Gaza Sept 12.

The three were shot dead on the eve of the signing of the autonomy accord in Washington. Somali rallies could spark violence today talks despite Aidid's boycott. In front of the Sahafi Hotel, where foreign reporters stay, a crowd of Aidid supporters jostled and shouted down a group of men in a truck who were announcing the peace march. Shooting occurred earlier outside the hotel between clan members in a dispute over access to a water pipe. Two Somalis were killed and two injured.

The planned march is in support of a peace conference among Mogadishu clans held last week. The UN peacekeeping operation's newspaper, Maanta, said Aidid's militia attacked the home of Haji Ahmed Rage, a chief of Aidid's Haber Gedir clan, and abducted him. It said the militia also abducted two other elders who attended the peace MOGADISHU, Somalia (Reuter) -Followers of warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid rallied for peace on Sunday, but shooting broke out earlier over water supplies.

But Aidid's economic minister, Osman Hassan Gedi, told the rally there would be violence if rival clan leader Ali Mahdi Mohamed holds a peace march today in south Mogadishu, Aid-id's stronghold. With as many as 30,000 supporters of Ali Mahdi expected to join the rally, the United Nations asked for calm. However, U.S. and UN officials said their troops will not intervene even if the two groups do fight.
