| Description: | This part of the globalissues.org web site looks at the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Media coverage is poor and yet there have been millions of refugees and over five million killed since the war began around August 1998. Yet the rich country leaders and their media drew everyone’s attention to 2000 ethnic Albianians being killed in Kosovo (to gain support for a war there). There seems to have been far less attention, because it does not seem to directly threaten rich countries, even though they may benefit from many of the rich resources found in the DRC, for which many are fighting over. This is indeed a global issue where various countries are fighting each other, and others are benefit, all while millions of locals die or have their lives ruined. |
