Africa?? Oh..black people and wild animals right?

I fully support the peaceful protests in Iran, for them to be allowed to be free. But I'm getting a bit upset about all the people 'supporting' Iran too. I'm just thinking, what about everything else that's going on? What about the conflict in Sudan, which might cause another civil war very soon? Or the fact that 26.000 people have fled their homes in Mogadishu in the last 4 days, all together about 159.000 people leaving their homes in fear in Somalia? Do we not care about this anymore? These are people too. Human beeings, with the same rights as everyone else. But no one seems to care. "ohh yes..Africa..they've got lions and elephants! And all the people are black and they live in mud huts and dance around". This seems to be the picture people have of Africa, which by the way, is NOT a country.
So why should we care about people starving to death? Dying of diseases that could easily have been prevented or treated if they had the right medicine? Girls and women that get raped? Even babies that get raped? People killed in conflicts and war? It's like people think Africa is somewhere on another planet....
