Bono is happy that Japan has expressed its desire to help the poor and war torn country of Africa. As a guest attendee of the fourth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD IV) , Bono showed his pleasure to the public one day before the African development conference was to be held in Yokohama and praised Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda’s doubling their efforts in eradicating poverty and famine in Africa. But the humanitarian in Bono says that this is not enough and he wishes that more can be done to help the long suffering nation. He also recommends that the Food and Agriculture Organization be helped as food supplies are running low.
