In someways,, the COVID is over stuff is similar to these conflicts in that no longer in the news, no longer happening.
I would hope that the Fediverse can help to change all that, as we can keep sharing what is happening right now.
When the taliban retook Afghanistan, there was a huge earthquake in Haiti, the former took over the news, the latter was briefly mentioned than forgotten about until refugees arrived in the US, then that hit the headlines which ended up more that the were there illegally rather than trying to flee a natural disaster.
@zleap @vitaminsludge @bullivant @auschwitzmuseum @histodons @museum Always important to be aware that our perception of crisis is the outcome of media framings.
Most of today's conflicts don't get any media coverage. Neither does the ongoing covid crisis of overwhelmed healthcare systems.
But all hell breaks loose in the media when some desperate humans arrive in a dinghy.

I agree, this seems to have been what happened when victims of the earthquake in Haiti, arrived in the US.
