Tomb Raider star Djimon Hounsou has recently teamed up with U2 frontman Bono, in an attempt to encourage African scholars to give back to their homeland and help rid the corruption among some African politicians and leaders.The Tomb Raider star is also a native of Benin and believes that he can achieve his goals if the top minds are there to lend a supporting role.
"So many countries in Africa have not really had great leaders because of corruption, so I'm working with Bono in trying to find ways to get African scholars and African artists together to find solutions to end corruption in some of the places." Hounsou said.
"We do need to improve in trading with the West and we do need to improve on an education level. We do need to end corruption. We need help, but more than anything, Africa needs to be able to trade with the West. That's the only way we can be self-sufficient.
