Jan Egeland, form UN head of humanitarian affairs. Many of you will have heard him speak to the 大象传媒 and other media over the years.
Nick Kristof of the New York Times who over a million of you follow on twitter.
You'll have seen in the news that at least 80 people have been killed at paramilitary force academy in north-west Pakistan. Many of you expected Islamists to respond to Bin Laden's death and now that revenge is here (though it's worth noting that the Pakistan Taliban have a track record of claiming attacks they did not carry out). All of which pushes the issue of how Pakistan should tackle Islamist extremism to the top of the agenda. Though, to be honest, it was already there in the wake of Bin Laden's death. We'll talk through the issues.
Also, make time to read the BBC's Owen Bennett Jones on the situation in Pakistan. Another excellent piece.
HOW BEST TO HELP THOSE DRIVEN FROM HOME BY THE ARAB SPRING? France wants the rules changes in the EU so that in exceptional circumstances the borders can be closed to refugees. At the moment, there is free movement. This has come to a head because of the number of Tunisians arriving in Italy and moving on. And it looks like the EU is going to agree to the idea. Is that a reasonable response, or should the EU be more welcoming to those in need?
You can post questions and points for Jan Egeland on any of the humanitarian issues that have been created by the unrest of the Arab Spring.
Nobody seems to think from OBL鈥檚 point of view, what made him choose Pak as a "safehouse" ? Because there are enough fundamentalists there to protect and propogate his kind of thinking. That is what needs to be addressed thru education and information in the Muslim world especially Pak - Rajan , India

Pakistan problem is corrupt leadership and politicians without any exception. They are all selfish and incompetent and completely disconnected with common people wants and needs. Politicians have no interest in improving things in pakistan- when sick they go overseas for treatment, they have police to ptotect their propetry, the kids study overseas, they go and live in their properties out of country when they are not in power. Why would they be botheredwith fixing anything. They have no feeling of shame and no apathy with common people

US must work seriously on reducing anti american sentiments in pakistan which are on rise and had a spike with abbotabad attack. Its very hard time for a pakistani to either consider US as friend or enemy.

Illiteracy is definitely the biggest problem. Madressahs are teaching a very warped form of Islam. Our elite also need to make sacrifices for greater national cause and not just bleed the country to fill their pockets otherwise Pakistan will stay in this abyss. Rifaat Jafari. Karachi
