Wildfires scorch Africa but world’s media stay focused on Brazil’s blazes

in #africa5 years ago

Forest fires are tearing through the Amazon rainforest, prompting worldwide protests and demands for action to protect the “lungs of the world.” But, away from the spotlight, the Brazilian fires are dwarfed by blazes in Africa.

It isn't really a competition, but as someone from Africa, we know we hardly get media coverage for anything

I know. I want to be part of that change and unify the Global South. We are an immense power together. Thomas Sankara of Burkina Faso, is one of my all time heroes.

I get your point, but I guarantee - Brazilian people do not want a “competition” with regards to this. And the government of Brasil certainly do not want all the media attention. I will repost it, to bring attention to Angola and Congo too. It seems to be a co-ordinated attack to distract from other things - so pls also report on what doesn’t meet the eye. Epstein & Prince Andrew? Bilderberg? Julian Assange? Saudi Arabia has been too quiet. G7 & Brexit?

Perhaps the African government set it's forest on fire to give way mining and other mineral exploration. To much is the cause of wild fire nowadays.

Why focus on real news when fake news is so cool now days.

You should publish what is actually burning and satalite photos of the last 5 years of the fire profiles. Then we would know it is the end of season farming residual being burned....
