This is an absolutely amazing campaign from Invisible Children which is very likely to make a massive difference. Please watch the video and share!

Then watch it in the morning. :)


Basically Kony is a massive warcriminal that for the last 26 years has been abducting children and forcing them to be in his private army.
This video is the first step in a massive global campaign to spread awareness of his crimes, and ultimately to bring him to justice.

The video explains it a lot better than I can.

Haven't watched the video but I'm all for arresting war criminals. Sad thing that there needs to be a campaign to seemingly get anything done about it though.
 
I've not heard of him before, but these are the sort of people that need to be 'removed' in order to (start to) help Africa.
 
[Without reading the first post] This has Invisible Children written all over it :)

Did some work with them a few years back - look forward to watching it.
 
This quote from that reddit post sums up my feelings on this:

Injustice exists in the world. It is damn stupid, and it sucks ass, but that's the nature of this planet at the moment. Humanity, since rising from the primordial ooze, has killed people over far less than anything you could imagine. Then there's the fact that if Kony is alive, and the ICC, or International Criminals Court, manages to put him on trial, what's it going to achieve? Numerous war criminals have stood trial before the ICC. This isn't a game of chess. You don't topple a pawn and move on. The pawns replicate. It's like fighting a hydra. If you slice off one head, more are going to pop up in it's place. You remove one player, and 10 others will appear.

People just re-post it on Facebook/Twitter to make them seem all "deep" and "Neerr look at me I care," when really, no one will do anything more than watch a video and put their name down on a piece of paper.

Quite right too.
 
My cousin in Canada sent me a link for this, I thought it was spam to start with then I realised what it was all about.
