Aristide wedding fuels debate in Haiti
Aristide, now 42, wed Mil dred Trouillot, 33, a New York born Haitian attorney, before about 500 guests including U.S. generals and Haitian ministers. The ceremony at Aristide’s four bedroom mansion drew mixed reaction as Haitians criticized the union with a lighter skinned foreigner. In Paris, G7 finance ministers forecast a mid 1996 recovery driven by a stronger dollar and lower interest rates. Also in Europe, police in Luebeck arrested a 21 year old Lebanese man over a fatal fire at an immigrant shelter killing 10 asylum seekers.
