The Caribbean regional grouping, Caricom, says it is ready to re-admit Haiti following the presidential election there earlier this month. The group's secretary-general, Edwin Carrington, said Haiti now had a democratic government which could sit down with Caricom and discuss re-entry.

Mr Carrington described the elections as a "wonderful moment".

Caricom suspended Haiti's membership after the ousting of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide two years ago.

On Thursday Rene Preval, a former ally of Mr Aristide, was declared the winner of the presidential election.

The move came after the election board changed its method of counting, giving him an outright majority.

The announcement ended more than a week of uncertainty and violent protests.

Mr Preval's victory has been welcomed by the international community.

Next week, Brazil will host a meeting to discuss how to speed up donations to Haiti, the poorest country in the Americas.

Thanks for the info. You know I always thought that if there is ever to be a world-wide Black renassiance, it will start with us here in AmeriKKKa. Our relative freedom and the fact that we have economic power that most Black people int the world couldn't dream of, means that if Black unity is ever to be achieved, it will likely start here. But if we were sucessful in building a movement here, the next logical place to spead it wouldn't be Afrika, it would be Haiti.
