Last Saturday night I received an email from a friend forwarding messages from friends in Jos who were surrounded by riots. I looked on the BBC site and found a report but there was nothing on TV news except a day later a ticker tape message on Sky News and one report on BBC News 24. There was little on any radio and the item soon vanished from the BBC url's front page.
Estimates of deaths in Jos varied but the lowest were at least twice as many as in Mumbai from whence we were getting wall to wall coverage of killings. So does Africa not matter? I often feel I live near India. Now I see it even more.
