Don’t break your promises, Geldof tells rich nations

Bob Geldof and Nelson Mandela today joined forces to urge world leaders to make good on the promises they made to Africa at last year's G8 summit.

Almost a year on from Live8 concerts around the globe as part of the Make Poverty History campaign, Geldof said that while pledges on debt have been honoured, agreements on aid were flagging and trade agreements were unfulfilled.
