Ukraine is in no way being forgotten, they were just sent another 200 billion after the Gaza war started.

That said, can someone ELI5 the skeleton conflict?

The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict[f] is an ethnic and territorial conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh, inhabited mostly by ethnic Armenians until 2023, and seven surrounding districts, inhabited mostly by Azerbaijanis until their expulsion during the 1990s. The Nagorno-Karabakh region has been entirely claimed by and partially controlled by the breakaway Republic of Artsakh, but is recognized internationally as part of Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan gradually re-established control over Nagorno-Karabakh region and the seven surrounding districts since 2020.

2021–present

Twelve Azerbaijani civilians and two soldiers were killed in 2021, by landmine explosions. Seventeen Armenian and ten Azerbaijani soldiers were also killed in shoot-outs in the border area, while 38 Armenian soldiers were captured. Twenty-eight of the captured Armenian soldiers were subsequently released.

In 2022, three Armenian soldiers were killed and 14 wounded in an attack by Azerbaijani drones in Nagorno-Karabakh on 25 March.

The fatalities of the current war, is how i imagined wars when i was younger. Soldiers in combat with other soldiers. Civilian casualties "only" through landmines.

No raiding, raping, torturing & murdering of civilians as a sport of some sort

This may surprise you, but there are multiple things happening in this picture

[-] tdawg@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Anyone else find it hilarious that wiki uses the word "Belligerents" to label the list of warring nations?

[-] BirdyBoogleBop@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 1 year ago

Is that not what "Belligerent" means?

Not every conflict is between nations and the infobox has to work across different conflicts. Belligerents is probably the best option to label the sides of a conflict

What ever became of the Free Hong Kong protests?

[-] whileloop@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

We forgot them, and now Hong Kong is just as repressed as the rest of China.

They got cancelled due to COVID and police violence.

Hollywood lied to me

[-] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Kind of hard to keep a protest going through covid and also anyone who says anything being arrested

Considering that western media is hysterically blaming Palestinians for Israeli atrocities now, I'd say it's rather Israel's (alleged) "plight" that's getting the limelight - not Gaza.

[-] Rozauhtuno@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Also Tigray, Congo, Nicaragua, Kurdistan, Xinjiang, Myanmar...

[-] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 year ago

I'm starting to think that the american media just focuses on whatever war is most advantageous for the american empire at the time.

[-] Peaty@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago

It's whatever is new and will get attention.

[-] SwampYankee@mander.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

Surely not!

[-] rgb3x3@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Since always

[-] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 14 points 1 year ago

At least there’s some discussion about Israel committing genocide. The Azeri threat to Armenians in karbach has been getting ignored for years.

[-] zepheriths@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

The real drowning is the Sudan civil war

[-] craftyindividual@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

The Darfur conflict was my first eye opener to major powers pissing around while genocide happened. In fact that conflict is still going on as recent as last year.

[-] SilentStorms@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 year ago

Shh they are in hiding in the tunnels. They'll call you right back after the turkish planes leave.

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

Just seeing the word "Kurdistan" sets you guys off huh?

[-] cevmantius@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

You can shove the word krditan up to your ass fucking lizard

[-] Phillcom33@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

It's been more than a year it's bound to die off. Plus 1500 plus killed in one day is way more interesting than 1 inch of ground recoverd

[-] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Whatever happened to Kony?

[-] Aremel@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

That post got enough likes in 2012 so we stopped him!

[-] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

From his Wiki page, he is in hiding and his army has all but entirely disbanded. It also notes that by 2012 he was already in hiding and and the US was already providing Uganda with military assistance against the terrorist group he founded.

[-] Colour_me_triggered@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

All the same war... Sort of.
