KONY 2012

Joseph Kony is one of the worlds worst war criminals.

Joseph Kony was born in 1961 in Gula, northern Uganda, to a family of farmers. He is a member of the Acholi  people. His father was a lay catechist of the catholic church and his mother was an Anglican. Joseph Kony was a altar boy for several years but stopped at the age of 15 and also dropped out of school.

For 26 years Kony has been kidnapping children into his rebel group the L.R.A. They have abducted more than 30,000 children. He makes girls sex slaves, boys are forced to be soldiers and mutilate peoples faces and kill their own familys. People cant sleep in their own homes as they are terrified that the rebels will arrest and kill them. 

A documentary has been released by the invisible children inc called KONY 2012. It has received over 83,423,510 views already and the documentary expires on the 31st December 2012. The documentary shows some of the things he has done to kids and is about a child called Jacob who has gone through most of the things Kony has done. There is an action kit that has nick-nacks to help spread the awareness of Joseph Kony. The aim is to arrest Joseph Kony as soon as possible to stop what he is doing to children and familys.
