Yup riots have broken out in Tibet and they have made news
headlines worldwide. I believe that Beijing should give Tibet more
autonomy and perhaps accord Tibet with something like HK's
status.
The events made news headlines on CNN,BBC etc. What I don't
understand is why worse, larger scale violence taking place in
other parts of the world have been largely ignored by the
international media?
Has anyone heard of the violence in Jammu
and Kashmir? Read here:

Needless to say many Kashmiris are fed up with the
violence and are pushing for independence. Has anyone ever
heard of the Kashmir Freedom Movement? Read here:

Does anyone know about the ongoing war in
the central Indian state of Chhattisgarh? I didn't
know until I read this:

Anyone heard of the Lord's Resistance Army and the civil war in
Uganda?

The list goes on and on.
Nowadays there is so much focus on China that worse atrocites
taking place elsewhere are being ignored. That's ridiculous.
