Bono (singer of U2) introduced a recorded message from the former South
African President Nelson Mandela. The message was played on a big screen
for a damp but enthusiastic crowd.
"As long as poverty and injustice can cause inequality to persist in our world none of us can truly rest,'' Mandela said in the video.
Mandela urged the Group of Eight leaders: "Don't look the other way. Don't hesitate. Recognize that the world is hungry for action, not words. Act with courage.''
