NEW YORK Making aid count II
When people around the world came together on
Saturday for the Live 8 concerts, they were hoping
to recapture the magic of "the day that rock 'n'
roll changed the world" at Live Aid in 1985. Twenty
years later, Ethiopia has again emerged as a potent
symbol - not only of the cause behind the concert,
but also of the consequences of oversimplifying the
debate on aid to Africa.
As famine decimated Ethiopia in 1985, Live Aid
brought together rock stars on two different
continents for a huge concert aimed at mobilizing
worldwide concern. The concert was watched by 1.5
billion people worldwide and raised more than $100
million for its cause. ...
