If I asked my readers on Blitz the same question that I asked fifty of my Twitter followers recently, who is Felix Tshisekedi my guess is that only a few if any would know the answer. Similarly, if I asked who Moise Katumbi are, Mobutu Sese Seko, Joseph Kabila, Laurent Kabila or Vital Kamerhe I reckon that I would be confronted with blank stares. For your information thy are all ex-Presidents (Tshisekedi being the current President) or high-ranking ex political leaders of the second largest country in Africa, the eleventh largest country in the world and with a population of 109 million people. Even though I believe I appeal to an intelligent readership, I still reckon that many of you have not answered correctly to which country I refer.

So, a few more clues. The country flag has a yellow star in the top left-hand corner and a diagonal red left to right bottom to top stripe, bordered by yellow all on a blue background. The capital is Kinshasa and the currency is, and this will give it away, the Congolese Franc. However, if I asked what the DRC stands for, I wonder how many of you even receiving so many clues would say the Democratic Republic of Congo.

What is driving me to be so boringly inquisitive about your knowledge of this enormous country, full of mineral riches in the heart of Africa. And why am I not surprised at the general ignorance pertaining to this rather childish inquisition? Well, it is simply the issue of genocide. In our mainstream media and all-over social media, the word genocide has been used in articles, statements, commentary, TV and radio debates and United Nations meetings to describe the deaths in the current Israeli Palestinian conflict. Genocide unfortunately has become an overused and irrelevant word of our times.

Since the third but most  recent creation of the Jewish State of Israel in 1948 and the various conflicts she has faced since, the total number of deaths including those since October 7, has been no more than 200,000 inclusive of both sides and of various nationalities – Lebanese, Egyptian, Syrian , Jordanian , Israelis and Arab Palestinians. Averaging circa 2500 deaths per annum with a heavily swayed death total to the Arab Palestinian population.

Statistics only being identified by the Hamas Authorities state over 40,000 Arab Palestinians killed but this must include Hamas operatives, estimated to be nearly 20,000 perhaps more. If one compares this to the deaths of civilians during a similar period in Nigeria, Afghanistan, Burkina Faso, Mali, Somalia, Yemen, Syria, Pakistan, Iraq, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Mexico and Columbia then by equivalent statistical data these conflicts were also genocides – but not according to mainstream media, political commentators or the United Nations. Only the Palestinians apparently are victims of genocide. The only contemporary wearers of the Crown of Genocide.

So, let’s revert to the DRC and attempt to make sense of global conflicts, their victims and the role of our media and political leaders. By any intelligent research it is a truth that in less than thirty years over six million indigenous, black, African Congolese have been killed in internal conflict sometimes extending to the countries directly bordering the DRC. It is also an undeniable fact that a multiple of three to four times that number killed have been displaced from their homelands. Given the lack of knowledge about the country itself I would wager there is even less knowledge relating to the armed militias, groups or interested parties participating in this human tragedy. In all truth who of you have heard or read about the FARDC (Congolese Army) or the M23 rebel militia?

How can it possibly be in this day and age that six million black Africans can be slaughtered, and mainstream media totally ignores these tragedies. It is not only in the DRC a true genocide occurred. In Rwanda in 1994 nearly one million black Africans were butchered. And if I asked who butchered who, I would wager the majority don’t know the answer. Apart from a lack of knowledge of the two tribal protagonists, Hutus and Tutsis, I would wager that very few know who the perpetrators were and who were the victims. I’m not telling – dyor as we scribe lazily use such terminology.

So, two true genocides in Africa go unreported by our mainstream media. The six hundred thousand killed in Syria or the 250,000 deaths in Yemen have also gone similarly unnoticed. In Sudan, Eritrea and Libya the total death toll in the last five years is one million plus. But again, no media coverage.

And with lack of reporting there will be no protests, no outrage, no boycotts, no attacks on ordinary folk by activists, no UN sanctions, no political management.

So, four genocides occur but no outrage and a non-genocide receives global attention and political activism often bordering on criminality leading to the deaths of innocents. How can this be? I will tell you.

The global order which includes the Theatre of the Absurd – the United Nations, together with global mainstream media and an ever-increasing Muslim population with numerous countries subservient to that religion have adopted a truly successful agenda. Within that agenda money paid to corrupt African politicians has played a crucial role and has garnered support from the political left who are rabid anti-Semites and thus the saturation negative reporting on Israel as the aggressor and the Palestinian as victims. The fact that the Palestinians adhere to Charters demanding Jew extermination has been for decades conveniently ignored.

Atrocities in Africa are purposely overlooked and total concentration is beamed on Israel a state no bigger than New Jersey in the USA. Disproportionate, saturation negative reporting on Israel by mainstream media take total precedence above all other global conflicts.

The BBC is at the forefront of this agenda aligned with Al Jazeera. CNN, MSNBC and ABC follow suit like subservient stooges. Qatar, the ultimate owner of Al Jazeera has funded terrorism globally and those terrorists she funds have been responsible for hundreds of deaths of journalists in conflict zones in the Sahel, Africa and Asia. The only journalist deaths Al Jazeera and the BBC report on are those supposedly killed by the IDF.

We are being manipulated like fools and this will be how it is for the foreseeable future. Mainstream media is morally bankrupt and we the audience accept it like the fools we are. Thankfully we have publications like Weekly Blitz to challenge the false narratives so readily promoted.
