| International observers have warned of serious problems in preparations for Sudan’s first national election since 1986. The Carter Center, which monitors polls around the world, said millions of potential voters could be disenfranchised because of failings in the registration process. James Copnall has more details. The non-governmental organization says in many states less than half of eligible voters are likely to register even though the registration period has been extended by a week. Registration rates are particularly low in semi-autonomous southern Sudan and in Darfur, both areas which have traditionally opposed the central government. A low intensity civil war continues in Darfur and several rebel groups have urged people not to register. |
