Bono in Africa


Bono has been in Africa recently working to fight the emergency of AIDS and extreme poverty. He spoke about the situation in Africa to President Bush and members of Congress at the National Prayer Breakfast in February and said, "it’s unjust to keep poor people from selling their goods while singing the virtues of free markets, to hold children ransom for the debts of their grandparents, and to withhold medicines that would save lives. "

“God will not accept that,” he said. “Mine won’t. Will yours?”
