How many cameras the new Iphone has and how fiercely ticket sales for the new Taylor Swift tour are going are probably headlines that have been getting your attention a lot lately. But when was the last time you heard anything about the war in Congo?

The organization Care analyzed over 5 million online articles in 2023 and looked at which global crises are forgotten by the media. Some crises from the African continent already reach us, but the figures show that headlines about pop culture topics such as Barbenheimer or the Taylor Tour were published over 10 times more.

Do our media not report often enough about the good things that are happening there and about the diverse culture and economy of Africa's 54 countries? What image do you actually have of Africa?

The Afrofluencer DeinBruderStève doesn't mind if you're a Swiftie, of course. But perhaps he can explain to you in this talk why the people of the Congo deserve your attention just as much.
