@LostInTheDesert: There's definitely a very serious problem going on right now with people having an acute inability to see propaganda for what it is. But there's also a bunch of strange geopolitical factors that go into focusing the world's attention away from Africa. There are a bunch of natural minerals that are important to manufacturing electronics which are in very rich concentrations in Africa and now, with the fall of the diamond trade, are being used as the oil to turn the cogs of the African war machine. And none of the "civilized" nations want to put in the work and capital to turn it all legit and risk a sharp rise in electronics prices, so instead they turn a blind eye and let Africa do its own thing while they use the resources outsourced through black market channels and then laundered through various less-sterling global powers who don't care about the sources of their product.(Like China.)
All this means that there's a reason for big business to not be looking at Africa, they know that if they throw a wrench into the cogs over there then it could bring their entire corporate machine to a grinding halt. So they're not gonna risk it and are instead going to allow for the further loss of human life and humanitarian crises in exchange for their nickel, gold, platinum and palladium.
Complicated situation to resolve, to say the least.
