Why doesn’t south Sudan get any media coverage about what’s happening there?

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.

    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 🙁

    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.

    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.
