Friday 9th February Sudanese student, Dak Marial Buot, makes this comment on the recent visit to Sudan by China's president, Hu Jin Tao. The visit by Mr Hu to my country has not impressed me at all. In the short time he spent in the country, Mr Hu focused on the economy with President Bashir, rather than looking into the matter of violence in Darfur. Mr Hu should realise that the economic relationship to which he gave his attention cannot materialise unless the country becomes stable. If i had known that Mr Hu's agenda was purely economic, I would have objected to his visit. Thursday 8th February Balaaga Ngawanzu has written to remonstrate about what he believes to be gaps in our coverage. You are silent about events taking place in Uganda. The human rights issues whioch have made the opposition walk out of parliament, President Museveni's actions against the judiciary, the almost daily violent response to peaceful demonstrations in Kampala and in the countryside. I think your correspondents in east Africa are not only pro-Museveni's government but they also do not value the lives of black people. I am certain if the events taking place today in Uganda were happening in Zimbabwe, you would be reporting them daily - even though you have been banned from reporting from inside Zimbabwe. Wednesday 7th February Siddiq Tanko in Legon, Ghana, writes following the 4-1 win by Ghana's Black Stars over Nigeria's Super Eagles football team last night. I could not hide my joy when Ghana's senior national team defeated their Nigerian opponents for the first time in fifteen years. Four goals to one. What a convincing way to take back the top spot! To the delight of Ghanaians, the Black Stars have been in fantastic form ever since they made Africa proud at the 2006 World Cup. I urge them never to look back, and they will go places. Tuesday 6th February Muazu Nigerian Solider in Darfur region has urgent plea for the African Union This message is for the African Union. Please pay the soldiers that have come to Sudan and performed their duty. Since October last year some have not been paid. They came to work for seven months, went back home and they have still not been paid. It's discouraging. African Union please live up to your promises and integrity Monday 5th February Mac Donald Ambali from Malawi slautes the action taken by the Zambian trade unionist against visiting Chinese President Hu Jintao I stand strongly by the side of Zambian trade unionists and opposition in their protests against the Chinese president. There is high rate of worker exploitation in some Chinese owned companies and the so called aid with no conditions attached, is nothing but pure blind fold to enable plundering of our resources which are going at an undervalued rate. |
