While Russia’s war on Ukraine (rightly) receives extensive coverage, other places in the world suffering from devastating violence and catastrophic humanitarian crises - such as the Congo and Sudan - barely make the news. This attitude of the mainstream media is also reflected in the policies of Western governments. On the one hand, great support was offered to Ukrainian victims at the onset of the war. They were received with open arms by European nations, while immigration policies towards Black and Brown refugees differ starkly. The British state offered between · £350- £500 per month to house a Ukrainian refugee. However, no such policy was offered to Sudanese refugees despite Sudan being a former British colony and many of the problems the country is grappling with today can be traced back to British divide and rule polices in the country. Certain comments by certain reporters suggest why that might be. In 2022, CBS News correspondent Charlie D’Agata, while speaking on Ukraine, said that it “isn’t a place, with all due respect, like Iraq or Afghanistan, that has seen conflict raging for decades. This is a relatively civilised, relatively European - I have to choose those words carefully, too - city, one where you wouldn’t expect that.” That same year the BBC interviewed a former deputy prosecutor general of Ukraine, who told the network: “It’s very emotional for me because I see European people with blue eyes and blond hair … being killed every day.” Rather than challenge the outrageously racist comment, the BBC host replied, “I understand and respect the emotion.” Conservative UK poiltician Daniel Hannan echoed those sentiments, writing in The Telegraph that Ukrainians “seem so like us. That is what makes it so shocking. Ukraine is a European country. Its people watch Netflix and have Instagram accounts, vote in free elections and read uncensored newspapers. War is no longer something visited upon impoverished and remote populations.” --------------------SOCIAL----------------------- FACEBOOK - INSTAGRAM - TIKTOK - @africanstream TWITTER -
