Omar al-Bashir won the presidential election in Sudan with roughly two-thirds of the vote, reported on Monday. The election was the first in 24 years for Sudan. A U.N. official in Sudan said that the election was "a necessary step in moving towards democratic governance in Sudan." In the past years, Sudan has been tormented by a civil war between the north and south, and the genocide in Darfur.
This event is so important, because it is a move towards peace for the torn nation of Sudan. They have been filled with conflicts, ones that terrorize the people there, so it is important that these same people have a chance to express their beliefs, and have an influence in the future of their country.
