The civil war in Congo described in 2006 by Time magazine as "the deadliest war in the world. Over 4 million civilians killed as a result of political violence over 10 years. Nevertheless, nobody cares about Africa. Beneath the façade of the ethnic warfare, the conflict in the Congo is all about natural mining resources mostly are Gold, Diamond, Cobalt, Copper and Coltan. How is that a currency of a country rich in such natural resources used in high-tech equipment to be worthless? The civil war in the Central African Republic triggered by the discovery of oil in the northern part of the country. The French government did not send troops there spending millions in taxpayer's money for humanitarian reasons. The chaos in Libya created because of European intervention that overthrows the regime opening the Libyan shores for hundreds of thousands of refugees seeking Europe.
Turkey is a main ally of the United States in the region and a member of NATO. A former U.S. Ambassador Peter Galbraith declared that the corporation of Turkey is vital to the U.S efforts to protect Iraqi Kurds from renewed Genocide on the hands of Saddam Hussein. Meanwhile, the Turkish army was involved in intense bombardment with artillery and F-16 on Kurdish villages killing hundreds of civilians. Mainstream media applied the word Genocide toward the massacre of the Kurds by Kurdish Army(1990-1999) 14 times with 8 news articles and one front-page story, comparing to the Balkans war(1998-1999), 220 times with 118 news articles and 41 front-page stories. Furthermore, mainstream media turn blind of Turkish support for Al-Qaeda insurgency in Syria. Members of organizations like ISIS, Al-Nusra Front and FSA(Free Syrian Army) established training camps on the Turkish side of the border with Syria. No doubt, without Turkish open borders policy, the insurgency in Syria will lose a lifeline and will not be able to continue their fight.
Sukarno was the first president of Indonesia after its independence from the Dutch colonialism. He led his country to achieve independence in 1949 by diplomatic and military efforts. In 1965, he was ousted by a military coup led by Suharto, a general in the Indonesian army. Followed the coup that had the U.S blessing, a massacre was over 500 hundred thousands killed suspected being Indonesian communist party members(PKI). The American embassy in Indonesia provided a list of PKI members to the Indonesian army. Besides, it provided the army with communication devices and funded secretly a demagogue militia associated with the Indonesian army involved in the massacre that followed the coup. East Timor was another bleeding wound responsible for destabilizing Indonesia for decades to come. The government forces intervention in the 1999 UN-sponsored referendum cost 5000-6000 East Timorese civilians. Also, more than 200 thousands civilians killed since 1974 as the Indonesian army invaded East Timor in-order to annex Indonesia.
Mainstream media played dumb to all of that massacres, killing, civil wars and ethnic cleansing. They express no emotions over clear cases of war crimes such as the killing of over 500 thousands Iraqi kids because of American sanctions and invasion of Iraq in 2003. Some estimates raise that number to one million child victims as a result of the lack of medicine, food shortage and the use of WMD. Mainstream media accuse the Syrian army of using chemical weapons against civilians, however; they keep blind eyes of the rebel forces using chemical weapons against the Syrian army and civilians. NewYork Times, Time magazine and the Washington Post didn’t run a front-page story of the rebel forces ethnic cleansing and war crimes in the coastal area in the countryside near the Turkish border. Rebel forces murdered hundreds of civilians and kidnapped women and children without the loud cry for justice from the United Nation, U.S government or the mainstream media.
