عاجل: البشير يقول انه سيمنح مركز كارتر حرية الحركة في جميع انحاء السودان!!!

Quote: Sudanese President Omar al-Beshir said on Wednesday he would grant former US president Jimmy Carter and his election observers unlimited access in the country during landmark elections that kick off Sunday. "In two days, president Carter will arrive and I will receive him and will give him and his centre permission to go to any area of Sudan and to monitor any area in Sudan," Beshir told a rally north of Sudan, as the election campaign begins to wind down. "This man did good things for us and we never forget the man who did good things for us," Beshir said in an address broadcast live on state television. It appeared to be a shift in tone after repeated threats by Beshir to expel observers if they were believed "to interfere" in the electoral process. Sudan is to hold its first multi-party general election since 1986 from April 9-11, which will include presidential, legislative and local polls. Beshir has previously said he would silence any observers who "insult us", and he also warned that if observers "intervene in our affairs, then we will cut off their fingers and crush them under our shoes." The American Carter Centre, the European Union, the African Union, the Arab League and Japan are all sending missions to Sudan. The EU mission, the largest with 130 observers, said on Wednesday that it was considering pulling observers out of the war-torn western Sudanese region of Darfur because of security concerns.
