lol, just wrote a thread on this a few days ago
http://www.spin.com/featured/live-aid-the-terrible-truth-ethiopia-bob-geldof-feature/ ....SNIP..... Where did the money go???? He discovered it was not doing good, but, horrifically, unimaginably, the exact opposite. The Ethiopian dictator, Mengistu, until then deadlocked in the war, was using the money the west gave him to buy sophisticated weapons from the Russians, and was now able to efficiently and viciously crush the opposition. Ethiopia, then the third poorest country in the world, suddenly had the largest, best equipped army on the African continent. “Western governments and humanitarian groups like Live Aid are fueling an operation that will be described with hindsight in a few years time as one of the greatest slaughters in the history of the twentieth century,” |

I'd rather see the Live Aids money go towards increasing AIDS in Africa, to the point where they are no humans left.

In the end, Africa always wins. You cannot change it, you cannot beat it.
