Wikipedia said:Joseph Kony is a Ugandan guerrilla group leader, head of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), a group engaged in a violent campaign to establish theocratic government based on the Ten Commandments throughout Uganda. The LRA is a militant group with a syncretic Christian extreme religious ideology. They are known for the extreme atrocities they commit against civilians, including murder, mutilations, rape, and in some accounts even cannibalism.
I'm sure you've heard of the KONY 2012 buzz on the net recently since the video Invisible Children Inc. released describing the rapes, murders, abductions and many more horrors of the LRA lead by Joseph Kony, and the charity's hopes to stop this man. Despite this, there has been some controversy regarding the legitimacy of the video, which has spent most of it's donations on actual film-making then charity.
What's your view on the situation? While it's evident Joseph Kony is an evil man, is the Invisible Children's video fair? They say they support the Ugandan government, but omit the fact that said government have also partaken in the raping and looting of villages. Will you donate to KONY 2012 regardless of the somewhat deceptive devices used in the video?
