'I've heard things like - this is Europe this is not a third world country'
Focus on AfricaAvailable for over a year
The coverage by the international media whilst telling the story of the war in Ukraine, has come in for some criticism, particularly some of the reporting, comparing what is happening in Europe with other forms of conflict in the global south and in Africa. Many have called out the problematic nature of these narratives - that the impact of the war is somehow more shocking because it's happening to white Europeans. One of those concerned is the Ugandan journalist and researcher Jacky Kemigisa. Focus on Africa's Esau Williams asked Jacky about some of the examples she has seen. (Image & Credit: Jacky Kemigisa)
