News Media is busy in Gaza….

Amidst the ongoing conflict in Gaza, 

Media coverage has been extensive, with each death meticulously reported and the perpetrators portrayed as victims. However, a stark contrast emerges when we look at the situation unfolding in Ethiopia’s Amhara region—a crisis that remains conspicuously absent from the media's spotlight.

Amidst the ongoing conflict in Gaza, media coverage has been extensive, with each death meticulously reported and the perpetrators portrayed as victims. However, a stark contrast emerges when we look at the situation unfolding in Ethiopia’s Amhara region—a crisis that remains conspicuously absent from the media's spotlight.

The atrocities in Amhara paint a grim picture of genocide, yet the world’s attention seems fixed solely on selective narratives. This disparity raises profound questions about media priorities and the ethical responsibilities of journalism. The apparent indifference towards the suffering in Amhara challenges us to reflect on the principles of impartiality and fairness in global news coverage.

As educators, it is crucial to encourage critical thinking among our students. We must teach them to analyze and question media representations, urging them to seek out diverse perspectives and consider the implications of media biases. By fostering a well-rounded understanding of global issues, we equip the next generation to confront injustice wherever it may occur, ensuring they are informed and compassionate global citizens.

Let us use this moment to inspire dialogue and action, advocating for equitable media coverage that gives voice to all those affected by conflict and injustice, regardless of location or circumstance. Only through awareness and advocacy can we strive towards a more just and empathetic world.
