Mais África!
Bono esteve presente na conferencia anual do Economic Club of Grand Rapids, em que voltou a pedir ajuda para África, e para que o continete não seja esquecido:
«In an hourlong speech peppered with pleas, preaching and occasional self deprecation, Bono implored the crowd to awaken to the AIDS and poverty crisis in Africa, which he likened to a preventable modern-day Holocaust.
"We are watching people being loaded onto the trains, and we know where they are going," said Bono, who turns 46 next week. "But the end of the story need not be the same. The people of Africa need not be condemned. We, you, I will not be complicit. ... We will not turn away as the trains roll past. We will go down to the tracks, and we will lie across them."
Bono's pleas were part of his quest to gain widespread public and government support for spending an additional 1 percent of the federal budget on foreign aid.»
