Osman Sorie Kamara, a Sierra Leonean student in Accra, is concerned about the disagreements between Ghana's president John Kufour and former head of state, Jerry Rawlings.

I urge Ghanaians to help make peace between these two national figures so that Ghana will continue to reserve its position as one of the few peaceful and democratic countries in Africa.

We Africans expect much from Ghana and if Ghanaians continue to turn a blind eye to this conflict between these two political heavyweights, the issue will have a negative political impact on the country's stability.

My country, Sierra Leone, experienced a similar situation in the past which resulted in a civil war that caused the loss of several thousands of innocent lives.

Messers Kufuor and Rawlings have a very important role to play in Ghana's future. Why can't they put politics aside and help push Ghana forward?

A listener in Goma, DR Congo is not impressed by a new a $5m prize fund for Africa's most effective head of state that is being launched by one of the continent's top businessmen.

From the slums and shanty towns they have scared us with their policies and manifestos.

They come to power to convince us that they are the good guys so the media portray the strength of their franchise, but how can we accept their corruption deals with a prize reward for bringing poverty to Africa.

Are we citizens not to demand better. We vote for them to bring about change - not to be rewarded with leadership prizes

Keise Ege, a Focus on Africa listener here in the UK, writes about his concern over the power-struggle between pro-government forces and the Islamic Courts Union's militia in Somalia.

I believe neither the Federal Government nor the Islamic courts are in charge of Somalia. Somalia is a NO Mans Land.

It's divided into districts and regions where every group claims to have the upper hand.

If it is not the different courts then its the federal government or the warlords.

Also the neighbouring countries have their own influence and intervention. Therefore nobody can claim to rule Somalia at present.

Yesterday we reported that state university lecturers in Kenya were going on strike to demand a pay-rise. Victor Chambers in Nairobi wasn't impressed.

I wonder why in Kenya, perhaps more than any other country, anyone can go on strike, at any time - sometimes unreasonably.

A few months back, the government ministers were demanding a luxurious pay rise, now it's the turn of lecturers and university professors demanding a 600% pay rise; perhaps tomorrow it will be the doctors!

Please BBC, tell these lecturers to stop this waste of time and get back to work.

Marcel Ngomdum in Douala, Cameroon, wrote in response to news yesterday that the Sudanese government have given the United Nations envoy to Khartoum, Jan Pronk, 72 hours to leave the country, following comments he made on his website.

Jan Pronk's expulsion from Sudan is a good thing because what he said does not represent the United Nations opinion.

Mr Pronk should know that Sudan is a fragile country and that any wrong statement could give rise to violence. I think the UN Security Council should suspend him!
