The weekly round-up
This week, you grilled a UN bigwig, took part in crime busting and learned the best way to deal with anger. Below are some of our highlights:
Sir John Holmes, UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, answered some of your questions. As you know, the UN's mission to the DRC would like to conclude operations by the end of the year. Mohammed Bawa in Guinea sent us an SMS message voicing his rejection of that move:
The UN should stay and redouble their forces in Eastern Congo; they should be deployed to take care of the sexual violence and killing.
Here Sir John, implicitly gives the UN position on rape in the DRC:
In 'Would you pass information to the police?' on Wednesday, we made you aware that the Ghana police force was calling on members of the public to volunteer information on criminal activity. David in Ghana recounts an experience he had, when he tried to do just that:
Unfortunately, try as we might, we could not get the Ghana Police Force spokesperson to address his concerns or ensure that people who help the police are kept safe. Luckily, Facebook friend Kathy Atenu in Uganda, came to the rescue:
An anonymous call to the police is what I would do. The police can take it from there. I would cover all my tracks so they (police) would never contact me.
We hope you enjoyed these shows as much as we did. Thanks to all of you who sent us ideas and comments on this blog or via SMS, Facebook and Twitter. Don't forget, you too can have your say as early as next week if you send us your suggestions to africa@bbc.co.uk. From us all on Africa Have Your Say, have a nice weekend.
