EU says won’t send mission to observe Angola election

The European Union has announced it will not send an election observation mission to Angola in next month’s poll after the country failed to agree to a package of conditions.
The EU will instead send a small team of experts to assess the election on August 23, but the team will not consist of more than five members, and will not be expected to provide an in-depth account of the electoral process.
The EU official said that the Central African nation had rejected some conditions including access to all parts of the country during the poll.
