 MONROVIA, Liberia (AP) - Former President Jimmy Carter hailed Liberians' dedication to nonviolence and democratic ideals Monday, a day before this West African nation's first presidential election since a 14-year civil war ended.
"We see the intense commitment of the Liberian people to have an honest, fair, open and safe election," said Carter, heading a team of dozens of election observers from his center and the National Democratic Institute, another U.S. group.
With campaigning finished late Sunday, Carter told reporters that he was "quite satisfied" with the run-up to Tuesday's balloting.
