Joseph Kony 2012

[RoFFL3s]

Hello friends!

No this isn't for a election campaign, but as a way to make you aware of the situation currently in central Africa.

If you have 20 minutes free please watch this video, it explains what i wanted to get across really easily: KONY 2012 on Vimeo
For those that don't have the time, bear with me here for a few minutes and read what i've got to tell you!

I recently watched this video myself, and was deeply affected by it. Just the amount of children being used by Joseph Kony as child soldiers is appalling. No i do not work for any of these NGOs, just a gamer like all of you. But i just wanted to get this message out there as much as possible, so that everyone can at least know the existence of this vile man. I know this is a gaming forum, i totally understand if you guys don't care about this, just thought I'd give it a try!

Here is a quick video of what one of my favourite youtubers give tidbits about Kony - it starts at 3:45 (

As part of their initiative, Invisible Children was able to gain enough support in 2011 in the US Congress, and actually was able to have President Obama send a small number of military advisers to aid the Ugandan governments armed forces to attempt to capture Kony. A major problem is the fact that not a lot of people even know of Joseph Kony. He is apparently at the moment on the run from the Ugandan government as well as the International Criminal Court, currently residing in countries around Uganda, and is #1 on TOP10 most wanted criminals in the international community.

So hey guys, if you can/want, spare just one moment to simply share the vimeo video above on your twitter, facebook etc. accounts and simply make people aware of this problem. Sharing is just a small task but it makes a big difference!

Here's a link to their facebook page
