Oops! My bad. I was thinking of Live Aid, the super concert that was supposed to help children in Ethiopia. What happened instead was a travesty! The millions and millions of dollars wound up in the hands of a brutal dictator who said he would only give donations to the poor if they left the country!
I recall food drives being held, and the story was that the trucks would be intercepted by the government in what ever country they were going to, and that none of what was sent actually made it to the people.
As I said earlier, I remember something about the dictator withholding the donated food and supplies, agreeing to only give it to those who would leave the country!
