In Africa the situation need more evaluation and support. Walking To Justice, is the only dream suported Africa. I thnik there so many children distributed in African villages no one know about them, lack of technology, food, so many diseases of povery, TB and AIDS and as Geldof said children go bed hungary and no cooling and covers in winter. I think Bob Geldof did the greatest support again to Africa and the song featured brings our tears worm and making us going on,,,,, Thank you Bob, I love you.</p> <p>Mutaz Ali,<br /> Sudan</p> I am in a good mood to comment for what the Greatest Artist Bob Geldof brought to us.

I need to tell everyone that Africa Calling you to support and no justification will be suitable other than the Greatest Artist Geldof Did. So let's go again to Justice. And we do not have anything other than worm tears, but we will keep going because Geldof reminds us.</p> <p>Mutaz</p> I am in my normal mood when I watch Bob Geldof’s song dedicted to the History of Ethiopian Girl, Just few minutes I was watching this emotiona video.

She was there to tell her story through an interpreter. (She says she doesn't remember the day of the early photo. She was really young, anyway.) Yes, it's a shame that it took so much effort to find these pictures. Oprah actually had the young lady on her show a few months ago and she was absolutely beautiful.

You're right, that's such a powerful moment and it's interesting how something like this wouldn't have been put on the forefront. I mean, the CTV coverage was really weak on anything underlying the music itself ... for those too young to remember the original concert, they may have not even known what the concert was about in the first place. Thanks again for documenting this ... especially for people who read their aggregators much more than ever turning on a TV.

I was (not surprisingly) disappointed by CTV's coverage. Between <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Mulroney" rel="nofollow">Ben Mulroney</a>'s mugging for the camera, and the entertainment "reporters" covering the event, I'd have been happier with just the video feeds and no commentary. To top it off, on their marathon <strong>5 hour long</strong> "best of" special, which aired right after the concert, they <strong>completely dropped the Ethiopian girl's intro and speech</strong>!!! It looked like she was just some prop rolled out for Madonna to parade around the stage. Gag. Barf. Yeah. I was (not surprisingly) disappointed by CTV’s coverage.
