I know that we all have heard of kony! JosephKony (pronounced IPA: born 1961) is the leader of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), a guerrilla group which used to operate in Uganda. While initially purporting to fight against government suppression, the LRA allegedly turned against Kony's own supporters, supposedly to "purify" the Acholi people and turn Uganda into a theorcy .Kony proclaims himself the spokesperson of God and a spirit medium, and has been considered by some as a cult of personality, and claims he is visited by a multinational host of 13 spirits, including a Chinese phantom. Ideologically, the group is a syncretic mix of mysticism, Acholi nationalism, and Christian fundamentalism, and claims to be establishing a theocratic state based on the Ten Commandments and local Acholitradition. Kony has been accused by government entities of ordering the abduction of children to become sex slaves and child soldiers.66,000 children became soldiers. 2 million people were displaced internally from 1986 to 2009. Kony was indicted for war crimes and crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands, in 2005 but has evaded capture. Kony has been subject to an Interpol Red Notice at the request of the ICC since 2006. Since theJuba peace talks in 2006, the LRA no longer operate in Uganda. Sources claim that they are in the Democratic Republic of Congo, orCentral African Republic or South Sudan.In 2013 Kony was reported to be in poor health and Michel Djotodia, president of the Central African Republic, claimed he was negotiating with Kony to surrender. The reason I am telling you this is because I want everyone to remember those poor children that was subjected to this terrible crime. And never let this happen again! This is a tragedy to all of the parents of these children and I hope that none of you have to experience what these parents have gone through. As I end this thread I hope you have gained knowledge of what has been going on. #SaveTheChildren
it wasn't fake like the guy actually did that kidnapping shit but the guy who started "kony 2012" charity stuff was a scam and only wanted money sooo
The ones that do the scams are terrible people and are just as bad as the person that committed the crimes.
Think of it as people taking advantage of people who've already been hurt and using it for their own benefit. It's horrible they do it.
I heard that Kony was already dead and that, the person doing his work basically all his kidnapping is just some guy following in his Tracks. Regardless this isn't the only place to where this problem happens.. I feel like people only pay attention to this because the Media because this happens in many places unfortunately. I'm not saying it's bad for people paying attention to a current event but if your going to be an activist about a current event like this then like pay attention along with other places that have problems like this.. It isn't just one place, millions of places in 3rd world countries have this problem.
