Bono now considers himself a factivist, boasting of how statistics confirms his approach to combatting poverty and hunger. So be it.
Diarrhoea still kills more children than AIDS, malaria and measles combined.
Over 900 million, particularly women and young people, still suffer from chronic hunger. They go hungry not because of insufficient food production, but because they suffer from insufficient social protection. Michel Forst on behalf the group of 72 independent experts charged by the UN Human Rights Council explained.
Sub-Saharan Africa, the World Bank said is home to more than 50 percent of the world's uncultivated agriculture land, with as much as 450 million hectares that is not forested, protected or densely populated. The 2008-2009 global food price crisis prompted a scramble for land in parts of Asia, Africa and Latin America, and widespread fears of land grabbing. Madagascar's president was toppled in 2009 after he negotiated a deal with a South Korean company to lease half the island's arable land to grow food and ship it to Asia.

Maybe Bono may be best served asking what causes poverty.You think he would have learned by now that, not even profits derived from entertainment stardom are derived from tax avoidance.
Capitalism and those who massivley profit from its cancerous curse like Bono,should think twice about the bandage his words afford the dispossessed.
