PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti —
The military-backed government has enacted a law that would replace Haiti’s interim president and prime minister with a single executive, officials said Saturday.

An opposition politician said Saturday that there will be no peace without the return of Aristide, Haiti’s first freely elected president. Student groups have called for protests on Monday.
