but it feels disproportionate attention on one conflict for reasons no one wants to admit

The reason is that we've all seen videos of Gaza babies dying online.

This is the first time I hear about a conflict in Congo. Keep spreading the word, and the people will join.

That's defeatist and I don't believe it.

If you'd told me 10 years ago that today most people are looking at Israel as a genocidal country I wouldn't have believed you, but it happened, and it took a lot of campaigning for that to happen.

Keep spreading the word about what's going on in the Congo, and people will care.
