One ex-rebel commander in Ethiopia has said that only 5% of aid money in his region reached the starving.
95% of it was used for buying arms.
That meant millions upon millions raised by Bob "just give us yer fookin' money" Geldof went on arms, to the benefit of mega-rich arms dealers.
Reminds you of the saying:
Foreign Aid:
the Poor in Rich Countries
Giving to the Rich in Poor Countries.
the Poor in Rich Countries
Giving to the Rich in Poor Countries.
