Longji Dambi in Jos, Nigeria wishes the world's attention would not only be turned to Aids once a year.

I am very unhappy about the way African government officials are handling this HIV/Aids pandemic.

Even in the face of increasing infection rates, our officials only pay lip service to the fight against Aids. They put up a lazy, I-don't-care attitude. They lack policies.

During the whole year, our officials forget that something like Aids exists in Africa. It is only on the first of December every year that they suddenly wake from their slumber and remember.

Then top bureaucrats from the Health Ministry address press conferences where speeches upon speeches are made about the way African governments are determined to stop HIV from spreading.

After the speeches, cultural dances will be displayed and food and drinks will be served in generous quantities, and officials will go back to their slumber, giving HIV and Aids a free hand to spread due to lack of awareness and stigmatization in Africa.

Birik Abdille has written in support of the Somali Islamic Courts Union.

The Ethiopian government is out to discredit Somalia's Islamic Court Union which has re-established a sense of peace and tranquility in the war-torn state after 15 years of bloodshed and misrule by self-seeking warlords.

Ethiopia may have their own motives, but their acts can be seen for a number of reasons...

One. Ethiopia has a very bad democratic and human right record. And Two. Ethiopia is seeking reconciliatory steps to appease America and other allies who are natural enemies of Islam under the guise of fighting with terrorists.

My advice to Ethiopia and other myopic partners who are blocking any attempt to peace, is that Somalis are tired of war and are now united behind the Islamic Court Union because they have the will, patriotism, energy and the ability to lead and unite the Somalis as they have proved to the world the short period they reigned.

Somalia's affairs are for Somalis not Ethiopia, America or any other state or person.

Kwaku Antwi-Boasiako from Ghana is commenting about Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi who was involved yesterday in a diplomatic incident at Nigerian airport

I'm just and sick and tired of Muammar Gaddafi's theatricals.

Can Gaddafi imagine hosting 52 African heads-of-state in Tripoli, each arriving with 200 heavily armed body guards?

Other African leaders and their security agencies must take a cue from the Nigerians and get Gaddafi to wake up from his delusions of grandeur and paranoia.

Imagine him trying to walk to Abuja from the airport. Please!! Enough of his childish tantrums!

Stalin Gebreselassie from Liberia, is concerned about the tension is brewing between the Somali Union of Islamic Courts and the Ethiopian government.

Ethiopia doesn't need to defend itself.

Nations and organisations which are supporting the Islamists should keep out so that the Horn of Africa, especially the Somalis can have peace.

Somalia is not a football field without a referee!!
