Haiti's Aristide Calls for Resistance by Supporters, AFP Says

March 8 (Bloomberg) -- Exiled former Haitian President Jean- Bertrand Aristide today called on his supporters to peacefully resist foreign peacekeeping troops in the Caribbean nation, a day after six people were killed at an anti-Aristide demonstration, Agence France-Presse reported.

"I am the democratically elected president of the republic of Haiti and I remain the constitutional president," Aristide told French radio from the Central African Republic, according to AFP. "The Haitian people are resisting and must continue their peaceful resistance against this unacceptable occupation, following an equally unacceptable political kidnapping."
