Aristide on Saturday agreed to appoint a new prime minister and hold fresh legislative elections, in addition to sharing power with his political opposition.

But the leader of a coalition of Haitian immigrant groups said Aristide has agreed to form a consensus government before.

"It's a joke," Samir Mourra said. "He's never honored one promise."

In Miami's Bayfront Park on Saturday, about 200 to 300 people rallied in protest -- far short of the 80,000 organizers had predicted would attend.

The protest was a coalition of Haitian, Venezuelan and Cuban groups that also demanded the ouster of Fidel Castro and President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela.
