    Dear Readers,

    How clean is President Kibaki from being influenced and backed by Western Medias and USA? His own Parliament speaker witnessed that Kenyan Gov't is dancing to the Ethiopian tune? Al Shabab can not be a scapegoat issue while Kibaki himself is messed with the innocent blood of Kenyans? Regional Insability begins at him where you govern not outside.Kibaki and his corrupted eastafrican leaders are terrfied the way the Eritrean Gov't is resisting the USA and the west for Kenya and Uganda et al are under total Corrupted custody of the USA.First of all African Issue should be handled by the Africans themselves whether state governments or institutions, while the hypocracy is rolling around within African Union itself. where is the reality and the logic here? Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda,are the most repressive and genocidal states and the most close allies of the USA. Does President Kibaki really have a mandate to tell us who should do what while he is responsible and accountable for what is going on in Kenya? If there is a wish for a true stability in the Horn first and most crucially , the Corrupt Presidents like Kibaki, Musoveni and above all , The Ethiopian sectoral and Ethnical government should reverse their Africanism and think for Africa. Although Diplomacy and foreign relations are vital but we can not live forever under American and Western influences. we are sick and tired of Gov'ts who are the tools of the West like KIbaki and others and i urge all the Kenyan Media outlets not to bias facts and realities.

    Dear Meskerem editor, I think President Kibaki is right. Eritrea should support regional peace, if it is willing to join IGAD. If, you think East African leaders are corrupt and American pupets, then you have to keep away from IGAD. you are claiming that your government is clean and others are not, just keep clean and keep away from regional organisations. The problem with Isaias Afeworki's blind supporters is you like both, where apparently it is impossible. You want to destabilise the countries, in your openion because they are not "clean", at the same time, you want to associate with them. I think, this is high time to be clear: the road for terrorism or the road for peace. Both is impposible

    We need peace in Horn Africa. Stabilty is very impoertant to that region of our continent. Peace must restore to allowed our people to continue with their life after long war. We are appealing Eritrea government to support and effort that can bring lasting peace in that area of our belove continent. Somalia is very beautiful country with a lot potential, if it allowed to have peace. Somali people are the most kindness and wonderful people that you can ever met. I leaved with this great proud pastoral people. And they are very hard working people, with Enterprenue spirit. I am convence they will put their country back, if peace is restore back to that country. Militry intervention can not solved all the problem. IGAD member should send invetation to Al shaab leader to come to table to end this suffering and the sucide bombing that harmering the peace process. Let give peace a chance after so many years of complict.
