I think the zeal once put into capturing Mr. Kony has died down considerably, but I don't think he's been forgotten. Our class had a HUGE debate over this entire situation, which our teacher turned into a week-long ordeal of putting Joseph Kony on trial. I was a lawyer defending Kony. Let me tell you, not the easiest thing in the world. All this to say, I'm kinda very tired of hearing and thinking about him. Haha
He's not forgotten but that guy that made the film about him put all media attention on himself when he took off all his clothes on a street corner in San Diego.
It's only a matter of time before he is hunted down! His power base in recent years has been greatly diminished and the video that brought him back into focus was late. Since 08 he has been essentially on the run. This region is busy with so many other horrid acts.The Genocide being performed by Arab Muslims on Black Muslims & Christians in the Sudan is a bigger fish! The US is advising and helping this from spilling over into Kenya and Uganda. Sooner or later J Kony will get found!
Joseph Rao Kony head of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), a Ugandan guerrilla group. Kony has been accused by government entities of ordering the abduction of children to become child-sex slaves and child soldiers. An estimated 66,000 children became soldiers and two million people have been internally displaced since 1986. 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.[ The LRA operates in Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Central African Republic and South Sudan.
Thanks for the knowledge, how horrible, I avoid watching the news, too many bad things go on like this. Has anything been done since then to get the children back? Has anyone tried to kill this guy?
How can something like this happen in this day and age? This world is just as barbaric and un-civilized as it has been throughout it`s past history. The world is only advancing in technological terms, but nothing else. It`s very depressing .The world should have evolved for the better by now.
Yes there is always evil in this world. But this issue brought Conservatives and Progressives together against this man. So evil will unite all with some of the good still left in them.
Thanks, I just looked him up. what a horrible man, I can`t wait until they get him. And I hope the children can be saved . very depressing to know that has happened to the children.
