The disparity of attention and casualties among major global conflicts.

Most people are aware that there isn’t a strong correlation between media attention and level of casualties in a conflict. Still, the extent of the disparity is depressing.

If you’re wondering where African states like C.A.R. and South Sudan would rank: total conflict related deaths are upwards of 5,000 and Google searches for the African countries are basically non-existent.
