After deeply flawed elections, Nigeria’s new President must act urgently to pull the nation back from the brink of chaos. Nigeria: Failed Elections, Failing State?, the latest report from the International Crisis Group, 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.
