There's also this journal by =ToxicAlice92, which puts everything in yet another perspective again.
The organisation has now also taken the time to answer the questions that were raised.
I will try to keep this blog as updates as I can, so if you find an interesting link about the organization feel free to send it to me and I'll add it if it provides another point of view.
"KONY 2012 is a film and campaign by Invisible Children that aims to make Joseph Kony famous, not to celebrate him, but to raise support for his arrest and set a precedent for international justice."
To find out more about the campaign, visit the Invisible Children-website here.








So I'm even further disappointed that apparently Invisible Children is only giving 35% of the charity money to African programs, and using most of it towards awareness.
I think it's good to not get super-excited with viral internet things...
That said, I'm very happy to see that people of the world are so easily mobilized by compassion, even if the Kony 2012 campaign is misleading and misguided. We do need compassion on a global scale.
That being said, as new info comes out, I'm self-obliged to add it to the description so as to nuance the video.
I have to agree on the fact that their tactics may not be the best, but I do have to commend them on being open and transparent about their spending. And the fact they took the time to answer the questions also isn't a bad thing. It's just that they could do better things instead of funding one army to take down another.
And yeah, they appear to be open to scrutiny, which is a good thing. Maybe they, the institution, are learning from this whole affair, like we, the people, are learning. I'm really super glad that people responded, though! I'd hate to think we're a callous "First World"
This just makes it clear that it's definitely not just a black/white-situation.
