Not really. A dictator or something? I've not really seen anything about him yet. Leave the countries to their own rebellion and stay out of it I say. It's none of anyone else's business. We risk arming a side that will do us harm in the future.

I personally can't wait until the 20th April and see how many of the seemingly millions of people who clicked they are attending that stupid event actually do turn up. I'm guessing not a lot... (And rather curious to see how the various councils will react to this technically illegal behaviour).

I have. I attended an Invisible Children mini-conference/tour about four years ago. We saw a video, heard from some people who worked with the charity and had been 'on the ground' as it were. We also heard from a man who used to work for Kony; he gave a very emotional talk about the feelings and motives involved and how he had decided he wanted to try and stop it. He wanted to return as a mediator - I hope he managed to achieve something positive...

In terms of involvement with Invisible Children [the charity], I have donated quite a bit to them over the years. But, I think there is an argument for 'support the cause, not the charity' here as doubts have been cast over the charity itself. :/

Probably a puppet of the West or some 'old time religion' Judaeo-Christian warlord. I'm curious about the hullabaloo (not to triviliase the criminal behaviour of this individual) surrounding his capture/arrest. Wonder if it is a distraction of some sort?

I watched about a minute of it, couldn't be bothered watching the rest since all it talks about is social networking and its importance. In reality social notworking is a nightmare for society...

Besides, it looks like people only care about this issue because it is on YouTube and are just trying to follow the current trend, I expect it will blow over in about a week once some other 'current affair' becomes fashionable.

Never heard of him. If only there was some kind of viral video and marketing campaign that was constantly being referenced in every single corner of the internet to promote him then maybe I would have heard about him and now be sick of hearing about him.

Yeah, I had heard of him before - Unreported World did a good programme about him a couple of years back. More people should watch UW, it's a refreshing change to the crapfest that makes up most of British journalism.
