This is overreacted.He could be easily stopped. A lot of groups like "invisible people" claim that they are a non-profit group who gives the money for charity, NO.I'm sure he got a few thousands of dollars for that.
There aren't many of these groups which are real.
(Also I'm pretty sure that, this is just some made up story.This "KONY" probably doesn't exist.However I haven't done any research on him so I don't know.)

He is a man who has a lot of power for all the wrong reason, just like any other dictator. Of course he is going to be difficult to find. He is one man out of thousands of other people in a huge continent with a lot of places to hide; just saying he "doesn't exist" isn't going to make that problem, or any problem for that matter go away. It just makes you not care. That's what most of everyone's mentality has been doing over this long running issue, "I don't see see it, and it doesn't effect me, there for it must not exist." and that just isn't the case.

And no, it's not easy to stop someone like this? That's like saying it was extremely easy to stop Bin Laden, who obviously, directly impacted the US, so he had the FULL attention of US and the citizens, yet it still took a decent amount of time to get him.

Woah
Stop right there
African warlords aren't some dumb people picked up from the street.
Most of them are really intelligent. They know where they can go without any danger and that's about all the places they will go to.

But ... He isn't a dictator?
He's one of the leaders of a rebel group, nothing more.
--- Quote from: Sabb on March 08, 2012, 07:12:55 AM ---And for what Don's saying about the LRA probably still not even being active and shit, obviously, there's a lot of trouble in Africa and the LRA isn't the only problem. I don't live in Africa. I don't truthfully know what happens there. Truthfully, you don't either. But the main point of what I'm saying is that there are obviously still BIG issues in Africa where help should probably be given in some form.

(Not commenting on government support/donations because I already said my opinion on this)
See this is where you're going off topic.
Everyone knows there is a really huge amount of problems in Africa, but that's not the point of this movement at all. It's purely about Uganda, Kony and the LRA. Not about any other country or its problems.
--- Quote from: Sabb on March 08, 2012, 07:12:55 AM ---But if the LRA wasn't any longer active, A) the government would obviously know that, and no action would be needed there, but B) there are still plenty of other issues to be dealt with, of similar circumstances.
--- End quote ---
Issues that are mostly up to the country itself to fix (for example human rights, hunger, etc). Nothing that needs military influence of foreign countries, which is what this movement wants people to support.
Nemisous:
tbh, Even if we catch this fellow it doesn't solve the problem. As he still has followers loyal to him, and would gladly take his place as leader. But you also have to look at the vast spectrum of things. Kony's group is one of hundreds groups in Africa that rule the rural population through fear, fighting these groups would be about as effective as the war on terror. it would be a never ending cycle, and would result in more bloodshed and further deteriorate of the situation in Africa. as much as i would love for Africa to prosper and grow out of this phase it just doesnt seem likely. We live in a sad world dont we?
Jman:
Don: I love you babby. Pretty much simplified my thoughts on the subject exactly.
Sure, it's bad that this kind of stuff was going on. However, not only is it outdated as don said, but it's a domestic dispute and doesn't require the meddling of other nations where we have no business. It's not as easy as just donating and giving support to a group that really has no power to do anything. In fact, I'm really not sure why this whole "Kony 2012" thing is surfacing now after the group's inactivity.
Just restating, not that I don't feel bad about what happened there, but instead it's simply that there's no reason to do anything about it, especially since there's nothing that really can be done in the first place.
