Kony 2012

I would imagine that from the title that you all know what this about as it has been shared endlessly on Facebook and other social sites. If you don't know, I recommend that you watch the video on you tube but if you cba, Kony 2012 is a campaign to make Kony, a leader of a rebel group in Uganda who makes children kill their own parents and then become soldiers in his army, girls are sexually abused. Of course, nobody can condone such sickening actions so these campaigners are trying to get the American government to keep their troops there to fight off the LRA. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing but admiration for people that try to fight off injustice but this campaign has got me stuck. The charity that is running things, invisible children support the Ugandan governments army who are not a huge deal better than Kony's. so although, they are trying to make a difference and I applaud them for that, I am
Not sure whether they are genuinely trying to help or if they will improve the situation. However I don't understand the people that hate it because of how mainstream it's become it is good that people are trying to make others aware of the situation and I feel ignorant that i didn't know about the situations before and I support the fact that they are trying to make people aware of the situation. They are doing what we all should, while I don't know where I stand on the matter yet, they are doing what we should all do: STOP and STAND UP for what you believe is right.
