The so called Sudan Troika issued yesterday a statement praising the Sudanese for their participation in the elections and criticizing the National Elections Commission (NEC) for failings with logistics.
The United States, United Kingdom, and Norway issued a media note commending the people of Sudan for their engagement in a complex and lengthy elections process, and their peaceful participation.The Troika countries expressed their serious concerns about weak logistical and technical preparations and reported irregularities in many parts of Sudan.
They added that they regretted that the NEC did not do more to prevent and address those problems prior to voting.
The note calls for progress on border demarcation and preparatory arrangements for the January 2011 referenda.
