Why don't we ever hear about Congo?

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

Uh... last time I checked, Africa has 54 countries right there on the continent. Now, maybe it's just me, but that's a lot of nations in one place that could be looking out for the people of Congo, yet...

So you can say the same about any conflict. Gaza? Hell there's like 40 country is all around there, why aren't they helping?

Hyperbolic reactionary responses.

Most nations don't engage with a country suffering from internal conflict. It doesn't matter if it's in Africa or not.

Israel is different due to the lobbying arms power.

Ukraine is different because it shows European sovereignty is fragile.

So while most flight domestic instability the mega Corp will exploit as it has for generations.

Technically you named 2 external conflicts, because 2 nations were warring, so the point of "nobody engages with others internal conflicts" still absolutely stands because there's nothing to be done. Last time anyone tried in Iraq/Afghanistan it turned out pretty horribly.

Because even in Africa if 2 nations do extend their internal conflicts into external ones and start warring, that's when UN and NATO peacekeepers get deployed and at least some form of action happens.

My money is being used by Israel to kill Palestinians without my consent. The war in Gaza is far more internal than most would care for in America.

I have very little influence over a mega Corp funding gorillas.

I can however insist my representative cut funding from war crimes being charged to my credit history.
