Bono's Plea for help

Celebrities are jumping on the bandwagon to save Africa, and the line between an image booster and sincere help is hazy.
Rock star Bono created his Red campaign last year to fight AIDS in Africa. Now, he is back on the scene soliciting more help for the corrupted continent from other countries. But, is he throwing himself into the problem for recognition?
On Jan. 26, Bono sat next to British Prime Minister Tony Blair at the World Economic Forum held in Davos, Switzerland. They attended a session, “Delivering on the Promise of Africa.”
Bono wants countries to be as consistent as he is in the aid of Africa, the countries that have pledged to lend helping hands. But, for what hidden purpose is he consistent?
If there are any hidden agendas in Bono’s acts of humanitarianism, it is not to be the most helpful celebrity in the Africa situation.
Bono is genuine in his efforts to build Africa up, debt cancellation being one of the biggest concerns.
Being a minor in African American studies, you can understand that I have taken up a deeper interest in Africa and seeing her beauty through the fog of corruption.
My heart began to melt as my eyes drifted over Liberian President Ellen Sirleaf Johnson’s quote in the article, "Blair, Bono Tout Helping Africa at Forum." Johnson said, “For God’s sake, we shouldn’t be so poor.”
I have heard of Africa’s gorgeous and abundant shades of green and the richness of natural resources, but I have yet to see it all for myself. Akon has dedicated a song from his latest CD, Konvicted, to his homeland, which talks about the beauty in the land of Africa that no human beings can really understand until they have witnessed it for themselves.
This had to have been what Bono experienced that motivates him to keep his hands in the business of saving Africa. His color-quote tells it all: “Africa is this magical, extraordinary continent and we’ve got to start describing it more as an opportunity than a burden.”
