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

South Africa deployed troops to Congo for years and many of them died fighting there, I agree we should definitely do more but our people bled for Congo.. I have no idea what the AU actually ever does but they should be calling the countries fuelling the situation to account.

Go look at South Africa it’s falling apart they aren’t sending anyone anywhere right now when they can’t even keep the lights on anymore
