Web Special: In Sudan, allegations of voter intimidation and censorship mark national elections

In Sudan President Omar al Bashir has been declared the winner of the first multi party elections in more than two decades. The country's election commission said Bashir received 68 percent of the vote, despite claims of fraud and a partial boycott from opposition parties. A former rebel leader, Salva Kiir, has been confirmed in power in the semi-autonomous Southern region. Meanwhile, according to the BBC, some 55 people were killed in clashes along the north-south border over the weekend in the worst violence since the voting.

To discuss the elections in Sudan, we're joined by Georgette Gagnon, director of the Africa Division of Human Rights Watch.
