Supporters of former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide protest yesterday in front of the presidential palace in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Several thousand supporters of former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide marched to the U.S.-guarded National Palace yesterday and shouted anti-Bush slogans, underlining their resentment over the United States' involvement in Aristide's departure to Africa.
At the palace, a crowd that at one point grew to an estimated 5,000 paraded past Marine guards. Many carried photographs of Aristide and chanted "Long live Aristide!" and "Down with George Bush!"
