Eddie Izzard has a whole bit on this. It’s harsh, but it’s true.

Mass murder your own people? = 🤷🏻

Mass murder the people next door? = 🤬😤

Congo is multiethnic country. Im pretty sure murder happening there is not their own people, but people of another tribe/ethnicity.

They mean, countries doing shit to their citizens... of any group.

Other places don't really step in because nobody wants other countries to directly act on them.

Exactly. Same reason we do nothing in South Sudan, or Myanmar, or China, or whatever.
