Do you know who is Joseph Kony?? I came to know about this man through you tube. I saw a video about this person uploaded by an NGO called Invisible Children. So what is special about this person? I just want to inform people through my blog about the heinous crimes of this criminal. Joseph Rao Kony heads Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), a Ugandan guerilla group. The LRA group operates in Uganda, the democratic Republic of Congo, Central African Republic and South Sudan. LRA fights against the government and is responsible for various war crimes. Kony is accused of kidnapping small girls and boys from villages in Central Africa and killing their parents and relatives. He converts girl child into sex slaves and boys into war soldiers. He is accused of abducting around 66,000 children since 1986 (sources - wikipedia and www.invisiblechildren.com)
Invisible Children a group started in 2005 is engaged in attracting the attention of world leaders towards this person, so that the world can unite to help the people of Uganda and Central Africa. They recently did many activities around the world to convince the powerful personalities of the world to act against Kony and to restore peace and prosperity in LRA affected areas. KONY 2012 is a 30 minute video posted by film maker Jason Russel for invisible children group to draw attention of US officials towards this issue. For more information about Kony and how you can contribute towards this initiative for bringing a bright future for the children of Uganda and other affected communities, please visit KONY2012.com and invisiblechildren.com.
