Debate: Live Aid“In truth, my objection to the project goes beyond the offensive lyrics. I, like many others, am sick of the whole concept of Africa – a resource-rich continent with unbridled potential – always being seen as diseased, infested and poverty-stricken. In fact, 7 out of 10 of the world’s fastest growing economies are in Africa.”
