On February 22, 2022, I gave a talk hosted by the African Studies Program of Georgetown University. Two days later, Russian battalions were sent across Ukraine’s borders by President Vladimir Putin. In real time, viewers around the world have seen immense distress unleashed on innocent citizens. In Africa, distress has become a state of being for tens of millions, usually attracting short bursts of media attention. The suffering, including mass displacements, can be as great as in Ukraine, although not inflicted with modern weaponry.
