$$$$$$$$$... that's why they're ignored.

I hate to say this, but there's a very good reason the US doesn't ever want to intervene militarily in Africa.

AIDS.

It's a well-known fact that servicemen like their fun. In Africa, that "fun" is likely to be infected. The US government is well aware that the Cuban war in Angola resulted in most of the soldiers sent there being infected by prostitutes. Thus Castro quarantined them when they returned. In the US, the ACLU would never allow a quarantine.

Which is why you won't see US troops in sub-Saharan Africa any time soon.

Africa is not a vital geopolitical interest. It will be in the future when China has bases on the Atlantic coast, but not until then. Whatever happens in Africa simply does not affect much of the rest of the world, and that is why it is ignored. This might not be a very moral reason, but it is reality.

Good column.

First, you need to do a separate post with his name in the "To:" box. That way it will come up on his self search. Please, allow me.

Why is African violence ignored?

Like they used to say about the Mafia, "They only kill each other."

Crouch makes way too much sense for a liberal.

He's coming over to our side.

If it wasn't for the MidEast Oil, the Arab/Israeli conflict would be ignored like the Hutu and Tutsis.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

African violence is ignored because it isn't news. It is a commonplace. It is not alone in that regard either. Malaysia seems to suffer from the same kind of tribalism that makes this same old, same old.
You'd all do well to realize that you live in perhaps one of a score of countries in all the world where your life is worth more than the deposit you paid on the can of coke you are drinking.
I remember back during the Miss World riots that there were dead bodies lying about the side of the road of this African city and people just walked by without paying notice like the corpse was just empty shopping cart or something.
Death & dying are not news in Africa.

Go hitching in America and you might find how common violence is too, BTW.

The only way to help Africa is to shoot the leaders, wait two weeks, shoot the leaders, wait two weeks, shoot the.....

Because the liberal press hates blacks...pure and simple, isn't it???
