Question is, who does count?

As the questions go, some questioners not asking questions but making speeches, the overall complex nature of the issue becomes clear. What do you do when genocide is happening but neither a “great” power nor the U.N. doesn’t want to get involved?

Dallaire is asked by a man from the Congo why the world isn’t talking about the Congo there. He says, “Because the black African doesn’t count.” Not, at least, by countries that don’t see something for them in the conflict.
