The move by the Americans to send a mission to Ethiopia to try and ease tensions is seen as a very good move.
It is hoped that the untold sufferings fo the people of Africa will come to world attention.
The Democtatic Republic of Congo was battered by civil war for a very long time and an end end to it will be a great welcome to a this country with so much of natural resorurces.
An initiative by USA that of sending Miss Condoleezza Rice will have some positive effect on the situation of the African countries.
Miss Rice said that she was "increasingly concerned about several crisis spots in Africa" before starting the talks.
Her first talks were on the latest fighting in Democratic Republic of Congo, with the presidents of Rwanda, Burundi and Uganda, as well as Congolese ministers.
The on-going crisis between Ethiopia and Somalia too will be addressd by Miss Rice.
The US supported Ethiopia's intervention in Somalia last year, to help the government oust Islamists from Mogadishu.
On Sudan, Ms Rice is due to discuss the tensions in the US-brokered 2005 peace deal between north and south.
The most important of all is the interest shown in the Darfur issue because of which over 200,000 thousand people have lost their lives.
She is also expected to discuss the conflict in Darfur with African officials. And let's earnestly hope something will be done to alliviate the human suffering in Darfur.
