Haiti opposition rejects peace plan

The Haitian opposition on Saturday rejected an international peace plan, saying the only way to resolve the country's political crisis was for President Jean Bertrand Aristide to step down.



Opposition leader Andre Apaid told reporters in the capital Port-Au-Prince that Aristide was the "source of the problem" in Haiti.



He said "the people must continue to demonstrate peacefully" to press for Aristide's departure.

Both Aristide and the opposition must name their representatives to the "tripartite council" by Monday if they intend to accept the deal, the sources said. The sources could not say what would happen if either or both sides refused to agree.
