Bono and Irish political activist Bob Geldof accused Germany of breaking its promises on aid to Africa and heaped moral pressure on Chancellor Angela Merkel ahead of the G8 summit in June. Meanwhile Bono suggested that there was a conspiracy against them succeeding. "...There are a lot of people out there who would rather this fail because they don't think our discourse, this extraordinary panoply of characters that have gotten together in the biggest non violent protest movement since apartheid. If it doesn't work with us I am absolutely sure there are people waiting in the wings ready to take advantage of that and I would not underestimate it. We are against it, we are opposed to it but it is a very real threat." Some photos: interference. Read: reuters, billboard
