An estimated 3.4 million people -- a quarter of the population -- (of Zimbabwe) are now living abroad. Some 1.2million are believed to have fled to South Africa.

More than 600 children die every day in the war-ravaged Democratic Republic of Congo and even more are displaced, sexually abused, or swept into the camps of combatant groups...Soldiers and rebels continue to terrorize eastern Congo, forcing some 360,000 people from their homes this year despite some 17,500 UN peacekeepers there.

Yes, 50 civilians were accidentally killed by an Israeli missle that was targeting the nearby Hizbollah rockets sites that had targeted Israeli civilian targets. So watch for the protests and hand wringing by compassionate people everywhere.
As for me, I figure that the DRCongo should hire Hizbollah's media consultant. Then maybe the deaths of African children would be noticed.
