The solutions to Africa's problems lie in Africa, not in Live Aid concerts.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Africa's salvation doesn't lie in begging and begging for more aid, and as an African, I find it very, very humiliating.
Not any amount of aid is going to move Africa forward.
In my view, Africa's real problems are cultural.
'Dead Aid' is about the inefficacy and the limitations of large-scale aid programs in creating economic growth and reducing poverty in Africa.
There's a huge AIDS epidemic in Africa, and one of Bad Boy's plans this year is to give more awareness to that. We're gonna be doing a big charity concert helping to save some of the brothers and sisters in Africa.
We cannot do everything in Africa, but doing nothing is not an option.
Neither Western donor countries like the U.S. nor poor recipients like Cameroon care much about Africans who are poor, rural and female.
By the time this concert ends this evening, 30,000 Africans will have died because of extreme poverty. By this time tomorrow evening, another 30,000. This does not make sense.
I went to Africa without the perspective of a balance between teaching people the truth, which has been my calling, and helping people who have physical problems, like AIDS and orphans and hunger.
If African countries can unite and pull resources together, then that will be the best thing we could ever do for the problems in Africa including AIDS.
