KONY 2012 DISCUSSION - Why military intervention is NEVER the answer

Submitted by Flowerpower on Tue, 13/03/2012 - 6:26pm

Date and Time:

GUEST SPEAKER BERSANJI M IBRAHIM (ACTIVIST FROM SOMALIA)

The Kony2012 advocacy campaign by Invisible Children has gone viral. It’s successfully changed the scope of 'humanitarian marketing'. It’s also a film rife with 'half-truths'.

Kony2012 falsely insinuates that Uganda is still at war. That night commuters are still in Uganda. That Joseph Kony and his Lord’s Resistance Army are the only sources of atrocity in the region and that white people, especially Americans, are going to solve the problem.
