Yes you are right. According to the Economist the current war in Sudan is not just devastating but a threat to world peace, and yet we hear almost nothing about it.

Thanks Thomas. I do like to follow what’s going on in the world. 🙂

Sad to say we are living in peaceful times, but I get the comparison statistics. And yes, Israeli news is my news of choice and it’s also quite educational to see what in fact is going on in the rest of the world. I’m quite aware of Sudan. Frightening stuff. 😦

Thank you Robbie. I have to see if I’ll take the time to update the list a little bit. But you are right, it won’t change the point.

I have my doubts too. War is too natural for us considering our nature and the physical restraints of the world, including the existence of nations, limited resources, ideologies, religions, etc. But it is good news that it is less of it (on average) than it used to be. You are right newsmedia is skewing our perspectives. I don’t think it is intentional and the news corporations are much better than social media, but they reflect what we want to see.

It was good to see those statistics proving the point, Thomas, as our perceptions become skewed watching the nightly newscasts. I am aware of the civil war in Sudan, but not the Tigray war. As always, I am grateful to be living in a peaceful country.
