Who Is Mr. Kony?

KONY 2012 from INVISIBLE CHILDREN on Vimeo.


If you'd asked me that just last week I'd have said you could find him at 'Skyline.'

The online video about the Ugandan Resistance Army leader — who is wanted by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity and war crimes including murder, sexual slavery and abusing children — now ranks as the fastest-growing viral campaign in history, according to online measurement firm Visible Measures Corp. The clip sought to make Joseph Kony famous in order to spur his eventual capture.

Posted to YouTube on Monday by the non-profit group Invisible Children Inc., the 30-minute video captured more than 70 million views by Friday morning, with more than 200 clips associated with it and more than 500,000 comments.

Where is Uganda?

What is its political History?

How could guys like Kony have gone invisible for so long?

How has Social Media changed that?

If you were Joseph Kony would you be nervous?

What will you do if anything to help capture Kony?

Is Joseph Kony the most important social issue out there right now?

What do the people of Uganda think?

Is the film accurate and will the money raised be well spent?
