The invisible and the political

Here is a link from the UK Guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/global-development/famine

There are various segments about the famine. People comment throughout with some comments being more generous than others. I do not care about the politics. I do not recall Jesus telling us to check their identity cards before offering assistance or weighing whether or not the thirsty ought to be given that cup of water. People are dying. We can discuss later how to prevent another famine.

I read today that Dadaab can now be seen from space. It has even made its way into here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dadaab

What it has also done is disappear from the front page of our newspapers. How can so many be so invisible?
