EU to observe Ethiopia's May national election


The European Union has agreed to monitor Ethiopia's elections in May, nearly five years after Addis Ababa accused the EU's chief observer in the last poll of helping to spark violence.

The U.S.-based Carter Centre declined an invitation to observe, saying there was not enough time to prepare for the May 23 vote in the impoverished nation on the Horn of Africa.
