Bono, rockstar  politicamente impegnata, ritira il TED Prize del 2005 con un discorso avvincente nel quale afferma che aiutare l'Africa non è solamente un'altra causa perorata dalle celebrità, bensì un'emergenza globale.

L'appello di Bono ad agire per l'Africa

The fight against extreme poverty and disease in Africa is a global emergency, not simply a cause. Every day, 6,500 Africans die from AIDS, a treatable disease, while millions of children are orphaned and new infections continue. The world has the resources, technology, and knowledge to intervene, but must summon the will to do so. Mobilizing collective action can transform both the lives of Africans and the moral standing of the world.
