Look out Sarkozy….Bono ain’t too pleased with you at all. As a matter of fact, Bob Geldof is a little hot under the collar too. The reason behind all this, you ask? Well it seems that back in 2005 when the Summit of Industrialized Nations was held, France, among other countries, made a little commitment to double their aid to Africa by the year 2010. Now it appears that France has actually decreased its aid. The reason why the crusading rockers have picked on France is because it’s that country’s turn to take over the European Union presidency. What they’re really hoping is that if France lives up to their promise, it’ll serve as a kick in the pants to the other countries to put their money where their mouths are. I’ll let Bono tell you in his own words…

“I have high hopes for President Sarkozy. I believe his hard-headedness might be necessary to work on some of these problems.”

Ya gotta hand it to him, that man does not give up when it comes to helping Africa. He’s a good bet to have on your side, isn’t he?
