Why shouldn't this be news in your eyes?

I think I worded it a bit wrong. It is news, but our (western) media tends to not report on African (or anything considered third world)) countries. Unless there is sometthing in it for the west. Like, are there natural resources available, which is the case here. So it is news, but tends to be ignored by our media.
