The contrast between the number of media requests I got when rich people on a cruise were facing a deadly, but contained outbreak versus now that some of the poorest people in the world are facing a deadly and devastating epidemic is just so so stark and it just really annoys the hell out of me.
Africa is the forgotten continent in the so-called Western and so-called civilized world mass media.
Yet there is the silent exploitation of Africa still going on, for example for minerals for mobile phones, fossilfuels, cheap labor and what not. All with large profits for the West.
Ironically I do believe that the world should learn from Africa, learn about the word Ubuntu and work towards unity, real freedom and real peace instead of the ever boring capitalism and stinky old-fashioned colonial exploitation.
Save the planet, and don't forget about Africa.
