Joseph Kony

10 Apr

Joseph Kony is the leader of the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA). He has abducted children and now some of the are soldiers but most of them are sex slaves. He keeps them in Uganda where he punishes and forces them to do things. The bulk of Kony’s foot soldiers were children. While estimates of the number of children conscripted since 1986 vary, some put the figure as high as 104,000.  No one really knows how many sex slaves there are but we are sure that there are many of them over there and they need help.

The video below is by Jason Russell for the campaign group Invincible Children Inc. He was one of the first to people to really show everyone how bad it is. The video is somewhat long so if you  have time please watch it. We need to get this out so everyone knows about it!!
