Some of you may allready know of this but for those who dont I would ask you to please take some time and watch this, I think this needs to be shared.

Many thanks

Already knew of Kony, but hadn't seen this before - very powerful, very good cause. Thanks for sharing.
 
i question the motives of this viral,

there are many other war lords like him.
he's not in Uganda, and he's not very active
the charity are untransparent, and pay huge salaries to the film makers
I don't think asking the US to kill someone is a great idea

oh and f**k all will happen, no oil in Africa

I have to say I am in agreement. Google the charity in question. Very poor track record, little accountability and low % of donations actually reaching source.

Almost the tabloid of the charity world. I agree with the sentiment but this - frankly - is exploitation of the exploited.

Further - the money goes to the Ugandan govt to build it army against the terror? Google Ugandan Army and read about the atrocoties they commit .......

We live in a mad world rant over :-?

I watched this earlier today with a friend after a mutual friend shared it on Facebook. We both checked out the charity and decided that sharing the video and awareness is good, but not sending money.

Totally agree Stuart, support the message, and raise awareness. Its a personal choice about supporting the organisation behind the video (see https://apps.facebook.com/theguardi...r/07/kony-2012-video-viral-invisible-children) and not for me, but I believe the message is valid.

I posted this after a long night shift and like you have managed to do a little research since and agree about the money. I still think the message is valid, if we can make the people in power do something about about people like these because it the correct thing to do and not just cos it's in thier interests then I think that's a good thing.
