Howard French is correct! War stories from Africa is part of the normal, We've seen it in Angola, in Rwanda, Liberia etc... The narrative of hopelessness in Africa is been re-written by the media. Many international NGOs are tempted to use this same narrative to draw the attention of the international community and major funders. This will generate interest, funders in this time of hardship for many NGOs may start coming in to help support lifesaving programing in DRC. In the end, in most cases, one cannot help it but just seat and watch the distortion by the media and the insensitivity of the general public in Africa and elsewhere to horror stories that take place in Africa on a daily basis. Thank you professor French!
