        I wonder what would be the response from USA, UK, France etc. if AU were to ask for African Observers to oversee/monitor the elections there

        They do not care about democracy in Africa. They believe it's beneath us. They will of shoddy "observations" and endorse anything.

        Hardly surprising. Too many African elections have been called "free and fair" by observers only to be found later to be anything but.

        By foreign you mean non-national? So for instance, for Kenya election foreign observers could be Tanzanian or Ugandian?

        It seems like a no brainer but people voted against election observers. Why?

        They play an important role when they take their duties seriously. @JohnKerry didn't, which is most unfortunate.
