Liberia: Voter registration ends with disappointing turnout among IDPs

More than one million Liberians have registered to vote in presidential elections in October which are designed to seal the West African nation's return to peace. But officials have said that the number of displaced people who had signed up for a ballot paper was disappointingly low. Some of those still living in the Wilson Corner Camp on the outskirts of Monrovia told IRIN that the 1997 elections, held during a brief lull in Liberia's long-running civil war, had left them with a nasty taste in their mouths.
