Dear Sirs,
Greetings and may 2010 be prosperous, healthy, happy and closer to the future posterity that is ‘Africa’s Divine Destiny.’
Your periodical The African Executive has brought heightened enlightenment to others and myself.
I would like to see your further expansion and exposure into the United States of America’s Broadcast Media. Your articles cover a vast range of ‘pertinent interests;’ concerning issues controversial, controvertible, and immutable;.....all being characteristically, boundless, educational, informative and ‘deserving’ of international expansion.
They qualify to influence the University Graduate and Entrepreneurial Black Youth and Adults whose potential energies are ‘stirring restlessly,’ and are prone to be attracted towards positive dialogue regarding many of the needs and ‘potentially latent opportunities’ on the African Continent. You can further promote the ‘greater opening of doors,’ where ambitions can be endlessly inspired in and outside of the university environment.
I believe that an ‘outlet’ for The African Executive ‘airing’ on a major broadcast network, can be possible and appropriate here in America.
There is at this very moment, positive, ‘Corporate’ preparations ‘in action’ by Oprah Winfrey to Debut the opening of her own Network Television Cable Station I believe that there could be enormous opportunities for ‘Your News Journal’ to reach millions more in that venue. I hope to keep you informed.
Respectfully and unselfishly yours,
Mr. Cleophas T. Jacobs.
RE: Belgian Paratroopers to Crush Rising Congo Rebellion?
Hello, I am a political advisor to the political party NFA in Belgium. We disagree with the Belgian policy in Congo. I would like to get in touch with the author, Keith Herman Snow.
Thank you,

RE: Keith is right! Belgian Paratroopers & Schechter
International efforts at military reform in Congo are international efforts to keep Congo under control.

The Dark Side of Religion
Dear Mr. Editor,
Permit me to air my view in your informative magazine (African Executive).Religion is supposed to make a man or woman a better person. The aim of religious education is to prepare individuals who will contribute meaningfully to the society.
I became a Christian when I was about 20 years old. My life since then has been different. Christianity has helped me to become a law-abiding citizen, and most of all, a productive person. To me, this is the goal of a good religion - the good side of religion.
Last year, Nigerians and the world were shocked to find out that a young Nigerian Mr. Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab tried to blow up a plane – the Northwest Airlines flight 253 - with almost 300 people on board. This evil attempt was committed on Christmas Day, a time when Christians from all over of the world were celebrating the birth of Christ. I believe this so-called holy war was well-planned and carried out by the enemies of Christianity and America. The Nigerian Muslims have done a good job of condemning this terrorist act.
I have read the Quran on many occasions and I find that it is a good book – what is done with that information all depends on the reader and his or her interpretations of the Quran. According to the Quran, Islam is a peaceful religion, so those who are killing in the name of Islam are in fact doing things that are contrary to the Muslim faith, and the will of Allah.
If the Bible says "Thou shalt not kill" and the Quran warns that Islam is peaceful, then we can conclude that anyone who uses violence in the name of Islam is not a true Muslim. The idea of blowing up planes, killing innocent people is a view expressed by people who not comprehend the writings and teachings of the Quran.
Mr. Adulmutallah gives the world the impression that he is a devoted Muslim. I question his loyalty to Islam. In fact, he is not a true Muslim. A man who is willing to kill 300 innocent people cannot, and should not, call himself a true follower of the Prophet Mohammad.
According to a US-based Professor Walid Phares, “Frustration and radical Ideology may have motivated Nigerian suspected bomber." While I agree with Professor Phares, I think there is a big difference between the teachings of the Quran and radical ideology. A true Muslim or even Christian should not be carried away by someone's ideology.

RE: Malawi’s Land Policy Headed for Catastrophe
Are there any positive things about Malawi? If yes, please tell us the story.

RE: Malawi’s Land Policy Headed for Catastrophe
Thank you for the honest opinion. A responsive land policy is important. Most urgent is independent and strong farmer organisations cabable of mobilising farmers’ agencies to resist this practice.

RE: East Africa C.M.As: How Effective Are They?
It is real wonderful and worth to appreciate. It is true that most of the investors in E.Africa including Uganda my country depend on the Capital Markets Authority to protect them in every way. Even when the changes in the market are beyond C.M.A's control like a recession, investors blame the authority for not protecting them. It's high time the C.M.As sensitize the investors the part they should play to protect themselves against vices in the industry.

RE: Surrendered Leadership in Kenya
Mr Shikwati is quite right. We tend to resign to the perception that others hold the solutions to our problems rather than seek to solve them. By removing the responsibility from ourselves we resign to fate. By changing our perspective, taking responsibility and believing in ourselves a lot will change.
