Sudan Elections Fail to Meet International Standards

In other news water is still wet.

KHARTOUM (Reuters) - Sudan's first multi-party elections in 24 years fell short of international standards, two international observation missions said on Saturday in the first authoritative judgments on the poll.


Final results of the presidential and legislative ballots are due on Tuesday, and President Omar Hassan al-Bashir is widely expected to win, most of his rivals having boycotted the proceedings, accusing him of vote rigging.


"These elections have struggled to reach international standards. They have not reached them all," the head of the European Union observer mission in Sudan, Veronique de Keyser, told reporters.


Sounds like the stability "realists" and the left are always carping about.
