    I almost posted this on here - such an enormous community to open this up to.

    This is a brilliant video and hopefully, it'll change the world - if we can get enough people helping and that can only happen if people know, so spread the word wherever you can, let everyone know about this man and about his crimes against humanity.

    Further information:

    Kony 2012, named after the infamous leader of Christian terrorist group the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), is a film and campaign by humanitarian group Invisible Children that aims to make Joseph Kony famous, "not to celebrate him, but to raise support for his arrest and set a precedent for international justice".

    The documentary describes the plight of Uganda through the eyes of a former LRA child soldier, Jacob, and the director Jason

    The film focuses heavily on the issue of child soldiers, with Kony’s LRA reportedly having up to 30,000 boys and girls who are used as soldiers and sex slaves.

    Kony is alleged to have fathered over 200 children during his 26 years on the run from the Ugandan government.

    Invisible Children, an activist group that campaigns to end genocide and crimes against humanity, said the goal of Kony 2012 was to raise awareness about one of the world’s most brutal warlords in an effort to expedite his arrest.

    Was just about to post this too, because I know a lot of people on here end up spending more time on MFP over FB.

    Bumping.

    Absolutely definitely have to agree with this - watch the video and read this tumblr. Make your own mind up about it, but have a think about it as a whole - they should be spread together, they're not in opposition.
