		In 1999, Nigeria moved from a military dictatorship that devastated the economic, social, and political capital of the country to a civilian-led government ushered into power through elections that were seriously flawed, but nonetheless were considered to represent the will of the Nigerian people.
		Nigeria, with a population of 120 million, vast natural resources, and highly developed human resources, could provide the key to a peaceful and prosperous future for at least West Africa and, probably, for much of the rest of the African continent.
		Nigeria’s ethnic and religious diversity means that its peoples hold significantly different perceptions of history and of one another, their values often diverge on fundamental issues, and they live their lives in inherited, indigenous institutions characterized more by their differences than by their similarities.

	Nigeria: United Democratic Front, 04/18/96
		The presidential election of June 12th 1993 was adjudged by Nigerian and international observers as the freest and fairest in Nigeria's history.
		Therefore, the limited sanctions imposed on Nigeria by the U.S. and the European Union have not been effective in forcing Abacha and his regime either to bow to the wishes of the people as expressed in the presidential election of June 12th 1993, or to respect the basic standards of international behavior.
		Nigeria appears, alas, to be poised on the brink of the latter option.
