Independent candidate Kamil Idris poses for a picture in Khartoum February 3, 2010. Confusion, delays and allegations of fraud on April 11, 2010 marked the start of Sudan's first multi-party elections in a quarter-century, a vote that will test the fragile unity of Africa's biggest country. The three-day election will be a key indicator of whether Sudan can fend off renewed conflict and humanitarian crisis as it heads toward a 2011 referendum that could bring independence for the oil-producing south.
