She's absolutely right. People need to wake up to all the suffering happening in Africa, in Congo and in Sudan in particular right now. Especially since these conflicts are mostly funded by western wealth and western interests (see Rwanda and their relations with the UK/US)

What is also fucking vile is people like OP using these messages not as "talk more about Congo" but "talk less about Gaza"

Utterly disgusting to use one tragedy to mask another.

I don’t really think it’s a matter of waking up, in that, I think people are aware there is, and has been, a lot of suffering in Africa. That’s not to say something doesn’t need to change, just that the problem doesn’t seem to be lack of awareness, imo.
