Thank you to Ellie for providing this information.
It shows how SOURCES of information (e.g. the Kony 2012 campaign video) have to be EVALUATED for validity, accuracy and bias.
In a refugee camp in the shade of giant mango trees, a Congolese man called
Jean-Roger is calling for US soldiers to capture the leader of the Lord's
Resistance Army, Joseph Kony.
"We need a military intervention. [President Barack] Obama must make an
effort to finish with Kony," he says in a firm voice.
"The LRA has killed a lot of people, and raped a lot of women, and they
kidnap children to train them to become like them. They must be stopped."
This is the response of the African (not necessarily Ugandan) victims of Kony. Read more here.
On the other hand, here is the Ugandan government's response to "Kony 2012".http://technorati.com/lifestyle/article/ugandas-government-responds-invisible-children-kony/
