Yeah, right. "World news".

She was at the border. Border issues are international issues.

If this news was "Vise President Jessica Alupo holds rally in Arua" would that news interest me, or it would be important for Uganda and Congo? It's the latter. It's pretty much the same here.

I guess maybe you move on to the next story that is important or interesting to you?

If I want to see US news I would subscribe to US news or just "news" communities. Maybe you are right, I can unsubscribe here. They don't even have the ability to downvote anyway.

yeah, chiming in to say i think this is an acceptable case of US news in the World News section. obviously don't go overboard with edge cases, but there's really no dilution of World News from stories like this which do have some multinational significance.
