Editor,The regional security initiative  by Rwanda, Kenya and Uganda is long overdue. You do not stop  for one who is not willing to start a journey on the sole reason that the journey maybe too long or too difficult. 

I commend the tireless efforts of our leaders to maintain security in the region. We the people are behind you. This is our countries’ time to move forward as a team and in good spirit of cooperation we have seen recently – and with speed.Dr Leo, London, United KingdomReactions to the story, "Regional security chiefs in Kigali to discuss pact” (The New Times, January 7)
