My thoughts are with the innocent victims in #Aleppo who are currently enduring a full blown genocidal war. I’m extremely angry to see the media blackout that’s happening with the utter lack of coverage of this situation. Imagine if this were your home ?Â
When the Paris attacks happened, the Western world had a social media meltdown. Where is the outcry for Aleppo ? Genocide is happening as we speak… where’s the corny Facebook flag filters ? Where is the call to arms ? If this were happening in a Eurocentric city it would be all we would be seeing on the news… all we’d be reading about in our feeds. It would be impossible to ignore.
This type of media blackout/selective coverage is its own form of terrorism & it’s up to us to call it out when we see it. Think about this media blackout we’re inside of, and how much other information we are being shielded from without even knowing it. If the media isn’t going to cover these stories, it’s up to us to shed light on the darkness.
