Try scrolling through your preferred mainstream news website. You will likely find the same headlines about the tumultuous political climate in the US, celebrity gossip, and local stories that typically involve some form of violence or controversy.
Many of these outlets are not giving sufficient attention to other significant events around the world, some of which are as disconcerting (if not more so) than the often-reported ongoing conflicts between powerhouse nations.
To enlighten the people of the internet, these Reddit users shared what they believe are news stories that deserve more attention. Read through and see if you agree.

A gentlemen, who, over several years, has personally picked up TONS of litter in Clearwater Creek, FL and Pittsburgh's Ohio River by using just his kayak. His story is amazing! His selfless and virtually unnoticed work is so inspiring! He goes by @tommypicsuptrash. He deserves a headline!

There is a war as large and deadly as the one in Ukraine being waged by Rwanda inside of Democratic Republic of Congo. Rwanda is turning into a regional military power and their President, who was the guy who organized the Tutsi resistance that over threw and stopped the Hutu's genocidal government, has turned into an authoritarian military dictator with ambitions of conquest. The war is supposedly over a rebel terror group organized around an ethnic tribe common to the shared border between Rwanda and Congo, and Rwanda claims it must seek them out and destroy them inside Congo where they are sheltering and hiding from justice. In reality this region of Congo is rich in Rare Earth Minerals and Precious Metals, and because its a long ways from the population and government centers of Congo (isolated by a lack of transportation infrastructure), its been underdeveloped and unexploited. Rwanda is making a land grab to obtain these areas so it can mine the mineral wealth for itself.

Donald Turmp just used an executive order to require the US Military to assist local police within the country. If not checked by the Judicial this will effectively shortcut the requirement of establishing cause for Martial Law.

The burning of the miombo woodlands in Southern Africa, around 140 full sized football fields get burned down a day, leaving animals dead or without a home, soon Africa will loose its wildlife and I’ve yet to see a mainstream media report on it.
Edit: this is also THE largest woodland in africa, home to 70% of africas wildlife and critically endangered animals. And due to it running through Tanzania, Congo and Zambia they receive little to 0 government funding, so it’s down to conservationists like myself and many volunteers to help tackle this issue. Save Africa.
Edit 2: I’m more than happy that so many of you are concerned about the issue and willing to help, please feel free to message me if you seriously want to help in the miombo, i work very close nit with the parks and we accept volunteers daily. God bless you all ❤️🙌.

Cecot prison in El Salvador where Trump had deportees sent without due process before the Supreme Court told him to stop it, is a death camp. A week ago, you could google maps and the prison showed a weird blurry pile of unknown contents (bodies?) with a large dark red stain on concrete next to it, now the photo has been changed when you search google maps. It has been publicly stated that no prisoners ever leave this facility. The contractor who built this prison has also performed work for vet clinics for crematoriums.

The Serbian anti-corruption movement.
I_Stan_Kyrgyzstan:
With Chinese funding, Serbia approves construction of the high speed link to Budapest, including renovations of Novi Sad railway station.
Corruption is rampant during the whole process, and deadlines are restrictive, leading to rushed plans and malpractice.
Shortly after being unveiled, in November 2024, the new facade of Novi Sad railway station collapses, killing 15 and injuring many more.
The public finds out the true extent of corruption, which surprises nobody because the president Vučić is widely disliked (vote rigging, clinging onto power too long, etc). But it's still shocking because the accident is fresh in people's minds.
Protests. The police take many into custody without due process.
The government tries to cover up the extent of their wrongdoings and cover their asses. It doesn't work. This includes stoking tensions with Croatia for some reason.
Nationwide protests and blockades. The main university in Belgrade (the capital) and the national broadcasting station have been under occupation for months. They still are to this day.
The students have 4 key demands before they stop the blockades. It doesn't look likely that Vučić will ever give in. So it continues...
