    I don’t really think that’s the issue. “Things are still shitty in Yemen” peaks as much of an interest in the western market as the conflict between Ethiopia and Eritrea, or the effects of the civil war of South Sudan.

    There’s only so much that people can care about at once, and the three that people in the west seem to care most about are Russia/Ukraine, Israel/Palestine, and China (just in general) because there is some name recognition.

      Also, us here in the US have enough to worry about within our own country, considering the current state of things.
