Darfuris could be excluded from next year's election,
At the United Nations yesterday Alain Le Roy, Head of UN Peacekeeping, said millions of people in Darfur who have been displaced by the violence may not get to vote. Last month Sudan said its nationwide elections would be delayed for two months until April 2010. This is the second time the date has been postponed. Officials in South Sudan dispute the validity of the new census results.Le Roy said: "The contested census, large-scale displacement and volatility - particularly in the area bordering Chad - create enormous risks that the people of Darfur will not be in a position to participate in the electoral process. " The election results will have an "enormous impact" on the distribution of political power in Darfur. Survivors of the government attacks upon civilian villages have been languishing in wretched camps across Darfur and eastern Chad since 2003-2004.
