Sudan welcomes requests to monitor Darfur's referendum

The Darfur Referendum Commission said Friday that any party wishing to monitor the April referendum will be welcomed.

Head of the commission Omar Ali told a local radio station that all preparations were completed to organize the three-day referendum in Darfur's five states.

Sudan will conduct a referendum in Darfur on April 11-13 over whether or not the region should remain divided into five states or reunite as one entity with a degree of autonomy.
