Here are the ways you can let Africa know what YOU think.

Africa Live! from the BBC World Service gives listeners the chance to take control of the airwaves and tell Africa what is on their minds.

Have your say

Call 44 207 836 0215 Email africa.live@bbc.co.uk

Each month, we highlight a topic - suggested by our listeners and online surfers - and then let you take over.

The programme - which has two editions, at 1630 and 1930GMT - is always wanting to hear from you.

So far, amongst other issues, the programme has tackled homosexuality, crime and punishment, and alcohol.

And if you want to have your say, it couldn't be easier.

Simply email us through the form below, and let us know what you think - either on the issue of the month, or with an idea for a future programme.

If you include your phone number, you may have the chance to hit the airwaves yourself - we will call you back a few days prior to transmission date.
