I never heard about that… is it just one of those things that the news just doesn’t cover for whatever reason?

American and western European news? Yes. Everyone else? No.

When was it happening, and who was reporting on it?

I would prefer to do my own research to make sure that I am getting accurate information (at least with as little bias as possible, because I know both the left and right like to twist everything to benefit their own agendas…)

CNN had a decent report last decade about it that I'm surprised hasn't been taken down: https://youtu.be/1fsMqYqHnN0
