Jan Egeland, form UN head of humanitarian affairs. Many of you will have heard him speak to the ´óÏó´«Ã½ 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.
Why should the US trust the ISI? They have played us long enough for the ?billions we’ve sent them to combat the terrorists which have threatened them too.

Ask your listeners Who executed the attack? Does the US have control over them? They have always attacked innocents. Look what happened to our Emassy in 78’.

Why is US supporting the rebels in Libya? Is it a re-do of taliban in afghanistan? Are we going to see a new Libyan taliban after americans leave these rebels on their own. (Ali Kazmi- Pakistan)

Killing Osama bin Laden will not end the WAT, it will prolong it as intended. Just like Israelis shooting a small Palestinian boy in his father’s arms to perpetuate the profitable war and justify taking Palestinian land for illegal Israeli settlements. The most appaling thing is the ´óÏó´«Ã½ perpetuating the official representation. Stuart. NZ
