Is Nato going too far in Libya?
This week marks 100 days of the International Air Strikes in Libya, and now the mission has been authorised to continue for another 90 days.
Nato forces have been hitting around 50 targets a day, but the rebels have struggled to take advantage of the coalition air strikes.
The Libyan authorities have accused NATO of targeting civilian infrastructure but NATO has strongly denied this.
Some Africa Have Your Say contributors got in touch with us on the Facebook to express concern over the operation - one person was particularly perturbed by what he perceived as the extensive destruction of Libyan infrastructure.
Do you think NATO has gone too far in Libya? Or not far enough?
Also, thousands of people in Senegal have taken to the streets of Mbour and the capital Dakar over continuing power cuts. But Senegal is not the only African country grappling with widespread power cuts.
What is behind the unrest?

Where was NATO when Khatoum was brutalising the southern sudanese? NATO should know now that whatever they do now will hunt them in the future just like it is happening now in Afghanistan.

The devastation and lost of lives has now outweighed the reason why NATO is in Libya for. Gadafi and his children have claimed Libya be theirs. He should be removed to allow people descent lives. Now France had dropped weapons for the rebels to fight Gadafi. Mistake. The focal point is Tripoli. Forcefully remove Gadafi.

But to destroying Libya and killing the civilians in the name of protecting civilians. How many people nato will kill so that you people will think. In the end of the day peace is what we need.

If NATO is in Libya, then they should be in Syria, Yemen to name a few.
Who is going to pay for the reconstruction when things all said and done.
