The Invisible War in Congo should be made international media everyday.
One reason why the Invisible War should be made national news is because it will put pressure on the U.N.to take stronger actions. With everyone in the world hearing and seeing the tragedy in Congo people will ask what the UN is doing to help. The U.N. will feel pressured to act. Imagine the quarterback of a football. His team is failing against the tough defense on the other side of the ball. Everyone on the offense is looking for the quarterback to do something that can put his team back in the game. The U.N. has to act cause the whole world expects them to do something.
A second reason that the Invisible War should be made international news is because it would be a great way to raise money to help the cause. If the horrific scenes going on in the Congo right were made visible to Americans just think of the money that could be made to donate to organizations like the Red Cross to help the injured. If the Invisible War was given the media attention that the earthquake in Haiti was given imagine the results. Here are some numbers from Haiti donations which could be very similar if the Invisible War was made national media according to the Huffington Post, "In addition to Americans sending more than $8 million via text message donations facilitated by cell phone companies." We need to make the Invisible War crisis international media.
that picture is extremely eye-catching and sad. I don't necessarily agree with you all the way on your thesis put every once in a while sounds better vs. everyday.
