Stop Kony

I want to share this video that is going viral over the internet about the children from Uganda being abducted to become soldiers and girls being held as sex slaves and Grisly killings for Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) that is led by Joseph Kony. This video aims to let the whole world know who is Joseph Kony, not make him famous but to make an awareness about his heinous acts. The group has been blamed for the murder of thousands of civilians in four countries, and the U.S. classifies it as a terrorist organization. A Twitter campaign targeting celebrities and influential figures took off last night using the hashtag #STOPKONY.

Ali, who escaped from the rebels, had been one of the thousands of young Ugandans abducted and forced to fight alongside guerrillas of the LRA, a rebel group which operates from bases in neighboring Sudan.

An Ugandan Red Cross worker distributes blankets to displaced people in a primary school in Lira, 230 miles (370 kms) north of Kampala, Friday, May 29, 1998. Some 10,000 people have fled attacks from the rebels of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) to find shelter in Lira. The LRA, operating in small units, have managed to elude government troops, continuing their penetration deep into Uganda, and residents of Lira and Oririm fear the government is on the losing end of the insurgency.

Egeland met with Kony, the elusive leader of Uganda's notorious rebel Lord's Resistance Army and one of the world's most-wanted war crimes suspects, seeking to secure the release of women and children enslaved by the group during their 20-year conflict with the Ugandan government. But Kony denied that his forces are holding prisoners. (AP)

We should put a stop on this by helping to spread this message. Post this on your Facebook wall or in your Twitter account to let your Family and Friends know about this Movement to Stop Joseph Kony. The LRA is reportedly fractured and weakened, however its leader Joseph Kony remains at large. I was moved when i watched the video, any child dont deserve to be treated that way. I felt really sad for those children in Uganda and I am really mad for these Group of People who did such heinous crimes.
