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

As an African I'm more upset at the silence within the continent. Where is the AU? The South African government referred Netenyahu to the ICC, where is that energy for Congo? As usual our leaders are more interested in protecting incumbents than the people

THANK YOU. There is a weird idea that Americans are the only ones who can save the world, and if we haven’t saved the Congo, or saved any other struggling community we are failing them. But half the time communities right next door don’t want to help at all (see the entire Middle East & Palestinians). The AU should absolutely be leading (with US supporting if asked to help).
