202 Sylvester Tunde AtereNGTime has come for the entrenchment of press freedom in all ramifications in Africa. All anti-press freedom laws, edicts, and bye-laws must be abolished, hencefort. Otherwise, practitioners will continuing to operate below their endowed potentials, while Africa, and indeed Africans, will be worse for it.

211 Stephanos ArayaMesfunERI stand for press freedom and freedom of expression because I dream a free Africa, where the African people can express his huge potential (literature, art, music, politics, and critic.)

213 AmnyusDestaWAERThe worst country in the world who harassed and killed journalist and in general, abuser of a basic human right is the state of Eritrea. Your honor, the leader of the state of Eritrea has to listen the voice of the leaders of Africa, we have to tell them in clear manner that is not acceptable

216 SolomonSengalNJUSPress Freedom and Freedom of Expression is an important tool that help to keep balance among all people under the same nationalty and same rule of laws to protect the rights of the majorty as wele as the rights of the mainorty group in the best interest of the nation. Therefore, it should be respected any where in the world, including in Eritrea and in all other countries. SBS
217 TesfazghiYitbarekNLThe ABC of participation of any national is to write or express him/herself on the day to day affairs of his country or her country without fear of insuraction, imprisonment or to exile. As an African and a well aware of the precarious deprivations in almost all African nations to their nationals to express their ideas or greavances, I join this petion to the AU members to give us our right of Fre expression now and at this moment and stop putting people for expressing their views into the gallauws.

227 DanielLAWSON-DRACKEYTGEn ce moment où la presse privée togolaise vit un moment sombre de son histoire aves trois journalistes emprisonnés, nous devons nous mobiliser de concert avec la société civile internationale pour mener cette campagne et obliger nos gouvernements à respecter les engagements qu'ils ont pris devant la communauté internationale. L'UJIT se joint à toutes les associations de défense de la liberté d'expression et de la presse pour condamner les arrestations, les emprisonnements, les tortures, les crimes et autres atteintes à la vie des journalistes dans l'exercice de leur profession.Nous vous invitons pour qu'ensemble nous puissions aider la presse indépendante du Togo à ne pas se laisser abattre par les intimidations et les menaces des prédateurs de la presse.
228 SaraCrossMedia oppression is a violation of democracy. By speaking out freely the media can achieve much in the quest for a fair, progressive and decent society. Even in wealthy developed countries the voice of the media is a powerful balance that can curb excesses of government. It does not sek to be a replacement for the government - it seeks to ensure that government is accountable. Accountablity legitimises and strengthens government and democracy. Please do not turn your backs on democracy.

230 OlayinkaOyegbileNGFor a man who was helped by the medai when he was overthrown by a military junta to turn around to persecute the same press shows how African leaders are.

235 KatyaKantarI believe that Africa should be helped and more people should be educated about the problems. Africa is danger and people are dieng everyday, kids,adults,babies,grandparent. why should they have to suffer?
236 JonesTumentaCMi'm a student, trying to get an education. i have so much love for my heritage, and my african brothers and sisters. i just don't understand how they could get this brilliant and great idea of the african union on paper but not try to put in practice. trust me. by the time i grow up, i'd make that dream a reality. Thanks
237 AnonymousAnonymousCAUSThe freedom of speech and journalism is several of the most basic and deserved rights of all people! Please deserve to know the truth from all medias like journalism,internet,tv,radios,and receive the best.
238 BrunoLAVOCATFREven seen from here, we can see the African dictatorship camouflaged. The settlers have left is saying, but the corrupt are still in place! It is a disgrace in the eyes of the World that this dictatorship on the media afircains. One knows the names, thanks to encyclopedias, their families will be cursed for decades! Should be an idiot when they could live and die honest and yet immune to the misery!
