Ending today with one story that basically epitomizes 'why ignoring events in Africa is bad':

Ending today with a look at one of the stories that relied, essentially, on 'nobody gives a fuck about Africa' as a shield and still does, really. In any other context the creation of a new US military command focusing on a new continent and frequent military activities done therein would be a focus of frequent commentary.
