Is Band Aid bad for Africa?

Available for over a year

Not everyone is celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the Band Aid Single "Do They Know It’s Christmas?". Ghanaian-British Afrobeat musician FUSE O.D.G. says the initial campaign was an act of kindness but it has had unintended consequences, contributing to a negative image of Africa as a place of famine & war and turning the continent into a place of pity. Musician Bob Geldof said recently: "This little pop song has kept hundreds of thousands if not millions of people alive." 5 Live listeners told Nicky Campbell whether they thought Band Aid was bad for Africa.
