Technology has again proven to be extremely positive in today’s world. It’s not everyday someone makes a difference of THIS scale and potential. #KONY2012 was the trending topic today, not just on Twitter, on Youtube and Facebook as well. So what is KONY2012? It’s a movement against the ruthless warlord Joesph Kony. Terrorizing for many years in Uganda, this ruthless man is the leader of a group called Lord’s Resistance Army which is mostly comprised of children who are trained to rape and kill. They abduct children and make them into killing machines. I myself had no idea of this evil existence, until I saw KONY2012 everywhere today. It’s on every website, in everybody’s newsfeeds and the video is on the front page of Youtube and has surpassed 9 million views in a day.
Please watch the video below, this is one of the most interesting yet sad things I’ve ever seen:
It’s a shock to many when they watch this video for the very first time, that such people reside among us and are shadowed so properly from authorities. Take part in this movement, share the video as much as you can, use #KONY2012 hashtags on Twitter, spread their official page on Facebook. A lot of big Youtubers (Philip Defranco for one) have started spreading the word even further with their huge following.
