U2 Bono First Days in Ethiopia ( Ajibar)
Slides from 1985 when I was guide, host for Bono and his wife ( Paul Ali ) for their first few days on an undertheradar visit to Ethiopia (after performing at LiveAid). Took them to several remote (World Vision) camps, like Ibnat, a tent city of about 60k famine victims, where the streets have no They were also thrown into the fire of helping care for, teach a group of orphans in Ajibar where these pics were taken. Bono also wrote the music for the song Ajibar (on this video) that he (and the camp staff) are singing with the orphans. Unknown at the time was that the head of the camp Jalipa) wasn t going to be there for their initial time there, so they were immediately immersed with the Ethiopian staff into daily relief camp a rough start to their adventure, but an experience that helped leave a lifelong imprint on their lives.
