"KONY 2012 is a film and campaign by Invisible Children that aims to make Joseph Kony famous, not to celebrate him, but to raise support for his arrest and set a precedent for international justice."
And who exactly is this Joseph Kony? He is an Ugandan guerrilla group leader that is head of the LRA (Lord's Resistance Army) that does what he please for power. The LRA have been accused of murder, abduction, mutilation, sexual enslavement and forcing children to fight for them. And all of that has been since around 1986!
Here is the latest video from Invisible children, that explain exactly who Joseph Kony is and how you can make a difference! This is well worth 30 minutes of your time!
I heard there is already several blogs jumping up against Invisible Children and what they want to achieve. You can judge for yourself what you think of it, but I for one support what Invisible Children is trying to achieve. There is today, at exactly this moment, young girls used as sex slaves and boys used as soldiers. Can you really look at your young sister, brother, cousin, daughter, son, nephew or niece, and say you do not care?
Spread this video, talk to everyone and make sure everyone know who Joseph Kony is!
