drc: eyes on iraq blind to heavier pain
17.04.2003
US and Iraqi estimates of the numbers of dead in the war on Iraq put the combined figure at about 4 000. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, estimates are that up to 3.5 million people have died. If news value depended only on body count, newspapers would devote roughly 900 pages to the war in the Congo for every page devoted to the war on Iraq.
