"Nobody really cares"

I don't think that's quite right. I will give you my view from the right – people care a great deal but are afraid to say anything lest they be accused of racism by people on the left. I have no idea why, but people get pretty heated when it comes to issues with black people and/or Africa in a way that is not true for any other race/nationality.

I also think Africa gets less attention because a)situation seems hopeless and progress is scant b)Africans are killing their own people but have not yet taken their wars abroad.

which came first the interest or the coverage? i am willing to bet that there were be greater interest if the quantity and quality of the coverage was better across canadian news coverage. to be clear this is not a slight on your own work. doesn't your question even point to this?

Whyever would anyone care about human rights atrocities that can't be maybe-kinda-sorta-almost-theoretically pinned on Stephen Harper? You obviously need to take better notes on Wherry's approach.
