What is Kony 2012?
It is a project to stop a very bad man for the crimes he has committed. His name? Joseph Kony. When I first seen about a tiny shot of it on the news I didn't really think all that much of it, then I kept hearing about it at school. A classmate of mine asked everyone: "hey, have you guys heard about that Kony Video? -its already got a lot of hits on YouTube." So that same day when I came home from school, I turned on my computer to see this video for my self. It was lengthy but every minute of it was worth it. To find out that a man, Kony, was kidnapping thousands of children from the arms of their parents, giving them a gun, using them as either soldier slaves or sex slaves, makes me sick to the stomach. Have you ever seen the movie "Blood Diamond" starring Leonardo DiCaprio? This horrific event ties in very closely to the events that these poor children most likely faced.
The US army is working with the Army of Uganda to find Kony and capture him. However, the us government may recall their soldiers if they think that the people don't care. The expiry date is Dec. 2012 of this year! The pickle is the fact that most people don't know who Kony is.
In order to stop Kony, the video makes an excellent point of the fact that we need to be aware. Thus, this means Kony needs to be famous. SO other famous people example, actors Angelina Jolie, George Clooney, Speakers: Oprah Winfrey, Singers ; Lady Gaga, Jay-z, and even politicians like Stephen Harper are speaking out about it.
