Media mustn’t forget Africa’s conflicts as Ukraine dominates headlines: People live a ‘hellish existence’ in countries such as South Sudan, northern Mozambique, the DRC but these are a blip on the international media’s news cycle

I visited two African conflict areas recently, mainly spending my time in sprawling camps for displaced people that seldom make it onto the international nightly news.in since the insurgency began in 2017 and some 800 000 more have been displaced, I heard horror stories of beheadings and kidnapped children from those who had fled attacks. One older woman told me her sister’s decapitated head had been placed outside her front door with the tongue cut out.

Now there is increasing concern that aid money could be diverted away from regions like these in favour of Ukraine, with UN secretary generalsaying only a few weeks ago: “We are seeing clear evidence of this war draining resources and attention from other trouble spots in desperate need.” “Our hearts go out to the people of Ukraine and we are responding with assistance programmes in Ukraine and the neighbouring countries, as well as trying to secure safe passage and repatriation of Africans stuck in Ukraine. I am, however, very concerned about the impact of the war on Africa,” he said.
