    Meanwhile, the Tigray war in Ethiopia may have killed as many as 600k, yet it barely registered in our public conversation. The same goes for Sudan.

    Attention is a weird beast.

      If there are no white people to blame on either side of the war, nobody cares. It&#x27;s the same shit with so many conflicts.
