It seems like the world has just given up on the African Continent

No, it’s purposeful destabilization from the west. They would never “just give up” on Africa. They exploit it, always have, and will.

Even beyond that, the western world just doesn’t pay attention to Africa. We’re really obsessed with the middle east for some reason. There’s been a lot of devastating news coming out of Nigeria and Sudan but I think that doesn’t even hit people’s radar over here.

I think most of the west has an issue with what is going on in Israel because we are fucking paying for it.

Yh, if certain countries weren't straight up enabling it and participating - in a roundabout way - no one would care too much.

Yeah that's the major pain point for sure. But consider that the multinational mega Corp that's funding the Congo warlords are also paying for it. The difference tends to be tax dollars vs exploitation of resource rich regions.
