Start Here: Oasis Media Collective
Going where the headlines don't
When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, the world watched. Every major newsroom deployed correspondents. Every day brought new headlines, new analysis, new coverage.
That same year, a major drone strikes were launched across Ethiopia. Hundreds died. Towns were shelled. Thousands fled. The media barely noticed.
In October 2023, Gaza dominated global attention. But as the world focused there, Sudan descended into one of the worst humanitarian catastrophes in recent history. Millions displaced. Famine looming. Near-total media silence.
If you’re here, you’ve likely noticed something: the conflicts that shape millions of lives often disappear from view the moment they stop trending, especially those in Africa. For newsrooms and independent journalists in the West, that makes it all the more difficult to bring light to these unfolding developments.
This pattern isn’t new. And it’s exactly why Oasis Media Collective exists.
