It just makes me very sad seeing people forced to suffer to such a degree it seems like something reserved for an allegorical tale.

The reason it’s not covered is the same reason we can’t trust politicians. Controlled narratives. Herding the masses. En masse we’re not yet smart enough to recognize it.
The news will tend to cover what they think will get the most views and that in turn is what is mostly relevant to their audience.
For the majority of Western media, issues in Africa are not seen as “relevant” if there is no direct effect on the audience.
Mainstream media show only things which give the most views and viewers generally dont care about Africa.
Because the people aren’t Caucasian
it has always bothered me too. people are very talkative of palestine and ukraine (which everyone absolutely should be and im not trying to take away from their horrible struggles) but then south sudan and various places suffering across the globe aren’t. at the beginning of the palestine protests it kind of really bothered me bc i felt it was so hypocritical. all atrocities should be made light of and taken with the same level of urgency. i pray for them all 🙁
Put a link to what you are referring to and use this post as a small opportunity
It is. I see the ads on TikTok all the time. And this has been an ongoing crisis for a long time now. Major news media outlets reporting it everyday wouldn’t get them views like reporting about President Trump.
Because it’s minorities killing minorities and neither side is sponsored by a western power
This will sound harsh but Africans doing African things that don’t affect anyone but Africans is not getting any attention.
Ummm. Anyone going to share why? Religious reasons?
White people killing white people = tons of coverage.
White people killing brown people = slightly less coverage
Brown people killing white people = coverage but only from right wing sources
Brown people killing brown people = no coverage
Well …if the media covered it more then there would be pressure to aid more. Honestly I’ve known about this region of the world for decades but I get a great deal of my info from the UN.
The grey doesn’t get media coverage.
