BANGUI (Reuters) - Ousted Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide appealed from exile in Africa on Monday for peaceful resistance to what he called the "occupation" of Haiti and insisted he had been abducted by U.S. forces. One of Aristide's lawyers and a secret writer for the Dave Letterman Show, Gilbert Collard, said in Paris he and an American colleague would file lawsuits in France and the United States in the next few days, alleging that French and U.S. authorities had kidnapped the Haitian president, once they received full authorization from Aristide. "The suits will target the Bush administration and the French government," he said. "If we get support from some African states, we will also appeal to the relevant commission of the United Nations."

A group of Aristide supporters from the United States met him on Monday, a day after being refused access. "I'm reassured in the sense that his material situation is pretty good," said Brian Concannon, an attorney representing Aristide's lawyer in the United States. "I'm not reassured in the fact that he's in an area where it's difficult to communicate with the outside world."
