The two-year war in northern Ethiopia resulted in approximately 100,200 deaths before an African Union-brokered ceasefire was reached in November 2021, a new report reveals. In comparison, the Ukraine-Russia war that began in February led to 81,500 deaths, the same source added.

    The war in Ukraine, has much more consequences for Europe and America, if Putin captures Ukraine then he won’t stop there. The war in Ethiopia, while truly heartbreaking was a petty feud between a really small ethnic group (Tigray) and the Ethiopian government, so it barely had any implications outside the horn of Africa. I’m Ethiopian and I’m saddened by the lack of coverage that war received and the lives lost but I understand to a certain degree, but I do also know that major media companies and their consumers just don’t care about what’s happening in Africa.

        Because of history: Hitler started in the same way attacking Poland, and also Stalin did the same from the East (started with Poland too, and then proceeded to try to take Finland).

            I recommend you to review your sources: before the start of the WWII, Stalin and Hitler signed an agreement so each could invade their own countries without interfering each other (Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact). Both sides were doing the same thing from each their side until Hitler broke the Pact by trying to invade Russia. Only then Stalin begun fighting the nazis as you claim.

            Edit: to add a last phrase to conclude my argument.

              I love how you shills always bring this up without mentioning the Four-Power Pact because you’re utterly intellectually dishonest https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-Power_Pact

              USSR was asking for an alliance with western powers against the nazis, and all the western powers ignored that and made peace pacts with the nazis instead. US companies even continued to do business with the nazis well into the war. The IBM famously enabled the holocaust.
