In Haiti, at least 20,000 people marched Wednesday in Port-Au-Prince to show support for President Jean Bertrand Aristide. Meanwhile for the second time in three days police fired tear gas at opponents of Aristide who were trying to hold protests. Since mid-September there have been almost daily anti-Aristide protests. On Saturday Aristide said the opposition rallies constituted an attempted coup. And a coalition of anti-government groups known as the Democratic Platform has announced it will refuse to participate in new legislative elections unless Aristide resigns. The coalition which includes opposition parties, clergy and business leaders, has called for the formation of a transitional government to govern until new elections can be held.
