An invisible war?

Congo is a dangerous place to live in, with over 30,000 deaths per month according to some news sources. Many people wonder why with so much death, many people arent really aware of the situation Congo is in or why nobody is really doing anything. Many times news deal with less important stuff, such as the moviesor Dolly Parton telling us to back off of Jessica Simpson, you can see its all true, its their in this photo from CNN's latest news. People need to become more aware of this conflict. There is people dying from diseases, starvation, war, the ones that are still alive are forced to join the army or leave the country as refugees probably really traumatized from what they have seen.

  1. It is sad to hear such news not being fully addressed to the public. But think about it. The news is there because of the amount of viewers viewing it, and studies show that people tune in more to dramatic super stars than tramatizing events happening in the world. It's not the News businesses fault. it's the public.

  2. It is sad to live in a world where the rantings of dolly parton are more important than the threat of missles hitting the U.S. funny but kind of sad.

  3. Why are so many people dying, like are they killing each other in a civil war?
