Den sudanesiske præsident Omal al-Bashir truer med at udvise udenlandske valgobservatører efter, at de har foreslået at udsætte næste måneds afstemninger. Bashir sagde søndag, at hvis observatørerne blander sig i Sudans interne forhold, ‘vil vi skære deres fingre af og knuse dem under vores sko’, skriver BBC mandag.
KHARTOUM: The Carter Center, which runs the only long-term monitoring mission in the country, said last week that the poll was “at risk on multiple fronts”. “Logistical preparations are straining the limited capacity of the NEC [National Election Commission],” the centre said. “With a series of delays and changes in polling procedures, a minor delay in polling for operational purposes may be required.”
However, the NEC said on Monday that the election would go ahead as planned. And Mr Bashir told his supporters: “We have accepted the arrival of foreign observers for the elections, but if they ask that the vote be postponed, we will expel them.
“We expect observers to say whether the elections are free and fair, but if they intervene in our affairs, then we will cut off their fingers and crush them under our shoes.”
