War In Ukraine/ War In Tigray/southern Cameron by plenitude(m): 12:25am On Aug 28, 2022
Dear Africans and my fellow Nairalanders, the War in Tigray/southern Cameroun started long before the recent war in Ukraine. We saw how the European Union and the USA are doing their best to help the Ukrainians, sending both military and humanitarian aids to them.
The war in Ukraine has made more headlines in Africa fora than the war going on in some Africa countries like that of the Ethiopia/Tigray and southern cameroun. What is the Africa union doing about the humanitarian crisis in the aforementioned conflicts??
We saw how some Africa countries are condemning the actions of the Russia government against Ukraine and we also saw some Africa countries who are also on the Russia side. In fact if you go to international fora you’ll see some part of Africa supporting Russia in the comment session while other are antagonist to Russia as well. But in all these I have never seen an Africa raise a single concern about what is happening here in Africa…. What is actually going on?? Are Africans in Africa not worth sympathizing for?? Why is the awareness of what is happening in far away Europe more than that of what is happening in our own land. Why hasn’t any Africa leaders talk about it?? I have been thinking about this for a while now but I honestly don’t know what to think anymore. What are your thoughts my people… can Africans actually be for Africa??

The humanitarian crisis in Tigray is worst than that of Ukraine and yet no Africa country is paying Attention to it…. We are very quick to blame the west for our problems

The conflict in Ethiopia is deadly and complex. It's not just a civil war but a regional conflict involving Eritrea, Kenya and over 10,000 Somalian fighters. Also, the worst humanitarian crisis is not happening in the Tigray province where the main rebel groups come from, but neighbouring Ahmara province which has been turned into a battle ground for Tigray, Ethiopia and Eritrea. Yet all sides do not allow journalists into the war zone. A catastrophe is unfolding as Ethiopia just bombed the Tigray capital, Mekele yesterday.

Another unfolding crisis now is Libya. Fighting between Libya's rival governments has killed 23 people in the past 24 hours and the country may enter a third civil war in 12 years. But these places are not Ukraine and nobody cares about them.

my point is the Africa UNION should be dishing out sanctions or resolving it diplomatically… hardly ever will you hear any Africa leader talk about what is happening here…

The people of Tigray are power hungry. They think they are the only ones fit to lead Ethiopia , this is one of the worst
political diseases we have in Africa with some morons thinking that they are at the center of the universe for being from
the ruling party or the tribe of the ruker. It sucks.
Cameroon ? A stupid war.
To separate because of language. Who told those German dialect ( English) speaking that Paul Biya
is in power on behalf of the French speaking ? This guy is there for his own clique.

I think the war in ethiopia is more like a civil war. To be frank AU is a dead wood. It is only on paper. Now no country will intervene in the ethiopia case because there is no economic value to them. Russia issue has economic value, taiwan issue has economic value. Even Nigeria has more economic value than ethiipia. I bet you if russia was not at war they would have helped tihray region just to spite america

I’m less concerned about western world intervening or not… I’m just saying no one in Africa is saying anything about it… Take a look at what is happening in DR CONGO. Lots of Africa countries are more concerned about what’s happening in Europe and America. It’s really a shame
