A national election that many hoped would signal a beginning to a resolution of the civil conflict that has killed tens of thousands in recent years lost its promise when all opposition candidates withdrew at the last minute in protests over fraud charges. The election went ahead as planned April 15 with the only candidate, the ruling party’s man, winning. With so many people feeling disenfranchised, the election is unlikely to improve the political or security situation.
