A Criticism to the Kony2012 Facebook Chaos

12 03 2012

Recently, the Kony2012 video has gone viral on YouTube and Facebook. Many Facebook users have spread the link mindlessly in an effort to make themselves seem like a humanitarian or just simply because they don’t know what’s going on in the world but follow their friends. The video was about contributing to Invisible Children, an organization thats “mission” is to help the kids of Uganda and bring Joseph Kony to justice. However, the situation is very different than what Invisible Children states in their video and the money that you can spend on “kits” full of bracelets and shirts and posters, isn’t really going to all the right places. The article I have attached is from the Foreign Policy blog and offers facts behind what is really going on with this situation.
