Read all about it This article describes an African tradition in which widows must have have sex with a male relative of her husband. I won't even bother saying why; it is no more worthy of an explanation than the fact that the Easter Bunny hides eggs. Why...why... Who cares why? The participants who have been forced into this servitude are not always willing (what a surprise) but the tradition continues. And then Bono blathers on about help for African HIV sufferers and I have to say why? These traditions, the powerlessness of women, the corruption, the superstitious nature of their traditional beliefs, all work against real change. What a waste of the world's money. Bono has managed to create a flow of money down a superstitious drain.
