THERE is not and should never be a competition or comparison over which is the most important war taking place in the world.

But we should recognise that decisions are made all the time by the corporate media about which wars they are concerned enough about to give any air time or column inches to.

There can be little doubt that the civil war that has been raging in Sudan for the best (worst) part of two years is barely in the radar of these corporate media types. It simply does not get the coverage of the tragic wars in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria or Ukraine.
