Kony 2012 - Invisible Children

Post by koan »

A group has posted a video online that's gone viral and are trying to finally put and end to Joseph Kony's crimes in Uganda. The film shows Kony at the top of the ICC's wanted list yet there is no sign that he'll ever be captured or, until now, that any of the countries with means to help were interested in the effort.

Kony kidnaps children, turns them into soldiers or whores, depending on gender, and forces them to kill for him.

The charity behind the campaign is under scrutiny now.

I saw the report from another source suggesting that it was a dead issue and should never have been raised. It is anything but a dead issue to the people affected by it and the response has all the stink of a cover up and protecting the guilty.
