There's a warlord from Uganda who leads a guerilla group called the 'Lord's Resistance Army' (LRA), who go around with no agenda of any kind other than to maintain his personal power.
They abduct children and use the boys as child soldiers and the girls as sex slaves, and have been doing so for a good 20 years now.
This is a campaign based on the idea that if we make Kony 'famous', and raise the awareness of this issue major organisations will be forced to finally arrest the worlds number 1 on the International Criminal Court's list of war criminals. On the night of the 20th of April people worldwide will take to the streets and post flyers, stickers etc. so this issue simply can't be ignored.
You know what, if they'd put that explanation on the site instead of a 30 minute video that i haven't got the time or inclination to watch, I would be a whole lot more likely to support the cause. Is that just me?
