Do you think that people are jumping on the bandwagon about KONY?
I know that what Kony does is absolutely terrible and should be stopped, but this has been going on for many years and is not a new event. There are also many other countries around the world that have child slavery that the United Nations have been trying to help for years. Nothing about the situation in Uganda has changed since the Kony material went viral.
What do you think?
Answer: YES. Completely. The "Kony 2012" Invisible Children video is nothing but propaganda and it's working wonderfully. Kony hasn't been a major threat since 2006, and isn't even in Uganda anymore. Invisible Children is fighting for funding for the Ugandan Army, which is notorious for raping and pillaging. On top of that they are powerless to stop Kony if he has left the country. And even if they do find him, who will they be fighting? The child soldiers that Invisible Children claim to be protecting.

Is Joseph KONY ever going to stop abducting and killing child soldiers?
Im learning about human rights and my topic is the Lords Resistance Army (LRA). Joseph Kony (I think) is the leader of this ethnic group. Because of the fact that I have watched the movie "Invisible Children", I think there should be an end to Kony abducting these children and turning them into soldiers. I also think that the rebels, and of course Kony, should stop killing these children, too.

What makes KONY kidnap children to turn them into sex slaves and soldiers?
If someone knows the background information behind Kony like his childhood or something like that would help
Oh and i donated money to help out to catch him! Kony 2012!
Answer: Joseph Kony came into this world in April of 1963 (some sources claim 1961, or 1962, 1963 would be one year after Uganda’s Independence from Britain) in a house just outside of what is referred to as the Trading Center of Odek, 1½-hours drive from the town of Gulu.
Joseph Kony was born into anAcholi family in the midst of theAcholi People’s area of Uganda. He was the last of six children, his father was Luigi Abol ( also called Cilio Obol), a teacher and very active in the CatholicChurch. (The name Luigi would attributable to the fact that many of the Catholic missionaries were of Italian Origin). His mother, who died on November 10th, was Nora Anek Oting 86 years old. Her dying wish was that her son Joseph Kony make peace with the government of Uganda and the people of Central and East Africa.
In 1992, the abductions began with secondary schools for girls. Agroup of 44 girls was abducted from Sacred Heart Secondary School and St. Mary's Girls School near Gulu. Both were boarding schools, the kidnappings began. Joseph Kony was going to produce a new kind of Acholi people. He would use young children that were a blank slate on which he could draw his ideas. Shaping a new Acholi people, loyal to him, a pure people.
Kony and his troops had beenreceiving training in Sudan and other countries in guerillawarfare. Things were heatingup. Kony had the weapons, Kony’s top leaders were beingtrained, they were ready for war but they would need morefighters, more foot soldiers and support personnel.
The answer to the need for troops began to rear its ugly head in full in1994 when child abductions began in mass. Children were being taken from boarding schools at night, and boys brainwashed and forced to be killers-child soldiers of Uganda, while girlswere forced to become sex slaves even though they were referred to as wives. (Not surprisingly, many of these women upon release willsay that their abuser such as Kony was a kind man and always apologized after beating them – the mind in captivity does strange things to many.)
Boys had to kill other boys, at times their own family in order not to be killed and prove their new loyalty. Violence forviolence sake became the ruleof the day. Children were scarred for life, their childhood snatched from them,turned into ruthless killers, mindless robots doing the bidding of a crazed man. Joseph Kony claims he never killed himself, he only heard the spirits and gave the orders, which were then put into marching orders.
Thousands were killed, maimed, kidnapped and displaced from their homes. The dark of night had come tothe north of Uganda
