a war that killed hundreds of thousands and displaced 5 million people ended in 2022 and the world barely noticed. now it might start again and the world still barely notices

People don't notice what happens in Africa. The war in Sudan right now is almost completely ignored. The Russia Ukraine War and US Iran war are more impacted of our lives in the west and get more attention as a result.

Look man we’re busy right now, I’m full booked on thinking about wars until 2 months at earliest.

I have visited that region in the early 2010s. I was shocked by how widespread and openly expressed hatered, dehumanization, anger, and bitterness were. And even kids were being raised with them as core values. Calls for genocide were common in casual conversations, etc. Even then, it was clear to me that an ugly war could restart at any moment. That experience genuinely scared and confused me.

To be fair, part of the reason that the world didn’t notice was due to Covid happening at the same time as well as Internet being shut off to the area so the alleged/reported atrocities were hard to come by…. On the other hand, it’s also in a region and continent where the world simply doesn’t care what goes on there despite the horrific reports that came out :/

"The World" being random citizens, but I governments are such more tuned in to what's going on. People like to get upset that random people are not well informed about whatever conflict but ultimately the vast majority of people have no influence or effect on it. We tend to focus on things we can control.

I’m specifically talking about governments when I talk about the world, not random people. Random people often do more than governments in these regions via trying to ship aid, supplies and raise awareness whereas government officials may occasionally publicly condemn actions and struggles but ultimately take no steps to even attempt to help.

My point is governments know - they just don't care/have the resources/ don't want to get involved or whatever the reason is. Every Western country has an intelligence file for every other country. They know what's going on.

Right, which is what I was saying too. Western governments absolutely knew what was going on but didn’t care much because of 1) the region it’s in isn’t very important strategically to western governments and 2) covid was the dominant news story at the time so citizens who might’ve cared more were unaware because covid was still mostly an unknown illness ravaging the world

I understand what your saying but all of Etheopia, meaning both sides; are extremely against any western, or global intervention, on either side. They very much see it as, this is an Ethiopian problem, and it will be solved by Etheopians. Any outside country which tries to help will be deemed hostile by both warring parties. So even if the world was super aware of it, the world can't really do anything about it anyway. And without ability to action, or call to action, the awareness is less important, at least in the eyes of the media. Source: I was military very near by during the war closely monitoring it.

He claimed he ended a war between Ethiopia and Egypt. The two countries haven't been at war since the 1800s.
