Kony

So there is a lot of hype about Kony this week. And I am all for it. In fact I am all for anything that raises awareness about any kind of injustices in the world (cos I'm so right on like that). The only thing that worries me about this is the implications of funding the Ugandan military, and really all the emphasis on Uganda.

It seems to me that the LRA are not just a problem for Uganda (I've even read they aren't even active in Uganda much any more) but for all the countries in that reigon - South Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo and the Central African Republic. 

I just think  people should think not just about "getting Kony" but about all the other issues and the bigger picture in that part of the world. Nothing is black and white. 

I should emphasise that I am entirely against Kony and everything he has done for the last 26 years. But don't expect all the problems to go away when he does. 

Help the children. Stop the violence. Peace guys.
