I am surprised to see "only" 80 on the Russian war. I thought the count is around 300k by now.
Edit
The numbers are from 2022, so of course they aren't the current numbers.
The article is about the Peace Research Institute Oslo's report on annual conflict specifically for the year 2022. PRIO is a Norwegian institution.
Obviously we are now over halfway through 2023 so figures have changed.
Tagging you @agarorn because the above answers your question as well.
To address your other point @Akasazh I think it's totally fair enough that Ethiopians might care about a war that displaced over 1.6 Million of their people and created a famine in which so many people are currently dying.
I don't think an Ethiopian newspaper article that points out the Norwegian 2022 data is "seducing" anyone to "marginalize" Ukraine.
If you look at my profile it should be obvious that I am not some sort of propagandist either.
Aha, that makes sense. Sorry for taking that in bad faith, but I feel I've been a bit knee-jerkey since joining lemmy.
Shall edit the original comment to reflect that.
Thanks! That's cool.
Yeah I feel you, think I learned some bad habits at reddit and am trying to be more chill now in the fediverse.
