Bono in Mali
Bono, standing with Oxfam policy advisor Sally Baden in the Dafara Village of Mali, holds up a Make Trade Fair t-shirt. Bono's recently visited West Africa to speak with cotton farmers and bring more attention to how agriculture subsidies affect cotton prices in Africa.

Niafunke in Mali said that he didn’t support
Live 8 because he wasn’t interested in being
used as a political pawn. Bono’s response?
“If he doesn’t reckon Live 8 are helping his
people, maybe they should rethink him being
mayor.” Would you like to comment?Sign up for a free account, or sign in (if you're already a member). |
