For those of you that may or may not know about the Ugandan child abductor, Joseph Kony, you might want to read this.
Kony lives in Uganda, Africa, and is the leader of the LRA (Lord Resistance Association) which is made up of over thirty thousand children that he has kidnapped. The males are given a gun and forced to become child soldiers, while the females are made as sexual slaves. Kony forces the children to kill their own parents, and if they refuse, they are shot and killed. This has been going on for over ten years, and would not of been discovered had it not been for the work of a documentary photographer.
Kony's actions put him as number one on the "World's Worst Crimes" list.
WE'VE SEEN THESE KIDS
WE'VE HEARD THEIR CRIES
THIS WAR MUST END
WE WILL NOT STOP
WE WILL NOT FEAR
WE WILL FIGHT WAR!
These are the words from the millions of young people that have joined the cause to make Joseph Kony famous, and to force America's government to keep searching for Kony.
Here in England, Kony's face is on every poster on every wall. Even the Queen is helping out, so says my father. A few friends and I are going to be flying to New York City to participate in the "Cover the Night", which will begin the sundown of April 20. We will cover every wall, every pole, window, and door with Kony 2012.
To find out more about the Invisible Children, TRI, and Kony 2012, go to Facebook, Google, or YouTube and search 'Kony 2012'.
Find the 30 minute video and watch it through and through. It will explain it all.
Thank you for reading, and please, join the cause to stop Joseph Kony. Share this with other Opuss users, like it, comment on it, and do other things to spread the word.
Let's make that bastard famous.
