Today my husband found a YouTube link that has spread through Facebook about Joseph Kony 2012. Who is this guy and why is he all over Facebook? So me and my husband watched it. It was about 30 minutes and we were shocked on what this guy does to children. He is one of the worst war criminals in the world. He abducts young children to be part of his children's army. Gives them guns and force them to mutilate and kill people! He even turns young girls into sex slaves. Horrible! How come we have never heard of this man and why is there nothing done to stop this?
This video was made to make this guy famous so people are aware of what he is doing and that he cannot get away with it any longer. If you have 30 minutes to spare, please watch this video and share it. I might not have the power to stop him but I can help spread the word about him.
Here are some information I found about Joseph Kony.
- Joseph Kony was born 1961 in Odek, Uganda, he is is the leader of a Ugandan guerrilla group known as the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA).
The violent group aims to establish a theocratic government based on the Ten Commandments throughout Uganda.
- The LRA say that God has sent spirits to communicate this mission directly to Kony.
- Since the rebellion started in 1986, the group has abducted and forced an estimated 66,000 children to fight for them.
- In 2005 the International Criminal Court charged Kony with crimes against humanity, which include; murder, enslavement, sexual enslavement and rape, cruel treatment of civilians, intentionally directing an attack against a civilian population, pillaging, inducing rape, and forced enlisting of children into the rebel ranks.
- After the September 11th attacks, the United States declared the Lord’s Resistance Army a terrorist group.
