This BBC link, https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-africa-68816523, contains a compelling message and poem from Emi Mahmoud. We need to be careful, the media directs our attention, but there are other crises, some claiming more lives though not lines. Lives are of equal value everywhere; news media manages to subsume human lives to political interest.
Notable too in this interview, she underlines the importance of poetry in communicating human anguish.
