The Forgotten World

"Hey you know Jay sian Patty and ditch Jolin?"

"Of course..... that's a bad news man. Jolin is such a poor girl."

"Talking about sad things, the tsunami disaster really claimed a lot of lives. Heard it's more than hundreds of thousands..."

"Yah.. I got watch a bit of news too. The people there must be very sad."

"Hmmm... you know the civil wars in Congo or Sudan... heard it's like another Rwanda."

"Eh... where are these places?"

......................................................................

Ignored by the media, forsaken by the international communities, because these places have little geographical significance. Because these people are Africans. Imagine the outcry if a few whites had died.

Reminds me of the movie "Hotel Rwanda".

Don't know why people can kill each other without remorse. Fathers against sons. Neighbours against neighbours. And I don't know what the United Nations are doing. Unable to intervene due to lack of resourses perhaps?

It will help if everybody be more concerned about the welfare of the people in the African continent. Plagued by civil wars, diseases like Aids, Malaria, TB.... they are crying for help everyday.

But how?
