Africa is dying. As much of the world turns its back, and a powerful spokesman in Africa insists that HIV is not the cause of AIDS, unimaginable numbers of young Africans are condemned to an early death. Public opinion in the West, meanwhile, turns its back on the catastrophe. 'The victims are distant blacks in an alien culture. They simply don't concern us.' This reprehensible attitude has all but excluded the tragedy from the UK media.
非洲正在走向灭亡。当世界上大部分地区对此袖手旁观，而非洲一位有影响力的发言人坚称艾滋病毒不是艾滋病的病因时，数量多得难以想象的非洲年轻人注定早亡。与此同时，西方的公众舆论对这场灾难也不闻不问。“受害者是身处异域文化中的遥远的黑人。他们与我们毫无关系。”这种应受谴责的态度几乎使英国媒体对这一悲剧避而不谈。
