I just saw The Joseph Kony video, I must admit, it left me heart-broken, and at the sametime wonder hoe could one person be so cruel to his fellow brothers and sisters? From what I heard, Joseph was one of the child soldiers inUganda once upon a time, but what I don't get is why does he make the Ugandean children go through all the hardships he went through?
I can't deny the fact that maybe while he was a child soldier himself he lost a lot, killed a lot of people and lost his parents as well as his childhood. He is not fighting for any course, he is just a killing machine that destroys children's future for nothing. I can appreciate the group who dedicated thier lives into helping these children because they are not just helping the American reputation but helping the future of Uganda which are these children who have thier childhood taken away from them by heartless individuals.
Although there had been criticisms, African critising the whole initiative stating that American use Africans for thier Public Relations, that might be neccesaarily be true but that fact is THEY ARE HELPING, giving us the help that we as Africans are unable to provide for our fellow Africans who really need us. Other criticisms include the fact that the Ugandean war happened over 6years ago and that things are different now, stating that Americans are trying to potray Africa as a poor, underdeveloped continent that is doomed; I don't neccessarily agree but to some extent see thier faults but commend gratitute for thier efforts, living thier busy lives and risking losing thier lives just to expose the heartless bastard who finds joy in raping, murdering and destroying the future of Uganda.
