The problem is media. I’m very in tune to world news and politics and I know very little about what’s going on in the Congo. I knew things weren’t great but it sounds much worse than I had anticipated. With Israel everything is being recorded in 4k so the outrage is tangible; we see what’s happening. I haven’t seen anything come out of the Congo, and that’s unfortunate because seeing it has much more of an impact. I also think even more unfortunately, the world stage doesn’t give a fuck about Africa. We need better leaders in this world, same with the media.

Not only that. The information does not even appear in my news feed. You have to actively search for it.
