What will Live 8 achieve?

dude66 · 06-05-2005, 01:20 AM

Bob Geldof has outlined his plans to repeat 1985's Live Aid concert this summer to coincide with the G8 summit and highlight global poverty.

Live 8 will take place in London's Hyde Park on 2 July with other concerts in the US, Paris, Rome and Berlin.

One of the aims is to raise awareness of Make Poverty History, a campaign to get the richest nations to cancel debt, increase aid and fairer trade rules for developing countries.

Will pressurising the world's leaders in this way have a greater impact than raising money would? Do you think Live 8 will make a difference? what are your views ?
