Nigeria: Failed Elections, Failing State? - New ICG report

The latest report from the International Crisis Group - Nigeria: Failed Elections, Failing State? - examines the implications of the country’s electoral injustice in April 2007, which is undermining Nigeria’s status as a democracy and weakening its position as a broker of peace across the African continent. The report calls on President Umaru Yar’Adua to reach out to the opposition to form an inclusive government of national unity, in which all major parties are represented.
