There’s been a lot of talk about this on the internet, especially on Facebook, but in case you missed it, here’s the movie that went viral about Kony2012. It’s pretty self-explanatory, if you want to watch it.

A lot of questions have been raised about the legitimacy of the claims in this video and the financial dealings. The Invisible Children have answered the questions here:

Here’s a page that shows crimes being committed in the areas where the LRA is active in real time:
And here is the video response of the Machine Gun Preacher, who has been working in Uganda for 13 years rescuing kidnapped children from the LRA, to the viral video about Kony2012. He tells what the real problem is and says that South Sudan is where we really need to be focusing. The eyes of the world need to be on the president of northern Sudan. He funds Kony and others and is trying to wipe out the people of South Sudan. The way I understand it is the Muslim government of the north is trying to wipe out the Christian population of the south.
"Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is placed in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into its soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no other's hands the sacred and holy trust given to her." -JR Miller
