Scam

Why stop one African rebel leader when there are dozens as bad or worse as him spread around the continent? Even if you get rid of him someone will take his place. It's like trying to shovel shit against the tide, there's very little we can do to stop this if we focus on the highest levels of leadership. We should look to eliminate the root causes that motivate rebels; for example this Kony bloke was rebelling against the awful leader of Uganda at the time, Idi Amin, who's rap sheet would make Kony look like a small time street thug.

There wouldn't be any rebels if African countries had by and large stable, trustworthy and competent governments. This is where we, the industrialized world, should focus our efforts, supporting governments and manipulating elections to ensure that its a sane candidate that comes to power. The 2008 elections in Zimbabwe are a good example, Morgan Tsvangirai may not be Franklin D Roosevelt but he's streets ahead of that insane old man Sir Robert Mugabe, and yet Mugabe rigged the election and swore himself in as President for what must feel like the 10th term of office.

We should bloody well not.

Europe, America, in fact almost everyone believes they have some divine right to interfere in African affairs. Please. We don't care about democracy there, we care for their natural resources, we care for their oil, we care for their conflict diamonds. AFRICOM is prime example of the rest of the world believing they're in charge of Africa, how dare we put a military presence there. A presence that's been rebuffed by almost all the African government, it should be noted.

While there should perhaps be some protocol to keep an eye that the elections are fair, we shouldn't manipulate them at all.

We know 100% that Zimabwean elections are rigged, but we just sit back and do pointless stuff like revoke Sir Mugabe's knighthood/honorary degrees.

This may be the cynical communist in me, but why Kony? Why Uganda? There are dozens of mass-murdering, child enslaving warlords strewn across the continent, why is Kony getting all the attention, given that him and his organisation have left Uganda? I can't help but feel there's a subtle agenda here. Perhaps the US are trying to combat Chinese expansion into Africa. But as far as I know Uganda has no strategic value, its landlocked, although wiki reckons they have reasonably large levels of as yet untapped resources like oil.

lol you weren't supposes to actually click on it! The object of this picture was to imply that despite claiming that they care about the country, most who have donated to the KONY2012 don't even know where Uganda is.

I'm getting more and more certain in my initial reaction and suspicion that this is a scam and propaganda. I feel for the people who gave them money after first brainwash attempt.

sry if they've been posted before

Strange. He's been on most wanted lists for decades but once reports surfaced that there were huge amounts of untapped oil in Uganda last year we get an uproar across the western world... smells of an excuse to cover up imperialism to me. Typical of capitalists, they're not interested in helping people unless there's something in it for them.
