A non-profit group called Invisible Children created the video about the Ugandan warlord. Overnight, it has turned Joseph Kony into a househould name in the United States, and raised concerns about his actions in Uganda. It has also raised questions about the non-profit group promoting the video. But according to Yahoo.com there is now a backlash to that backlash.
But who exactly is Joseph Kony?
Born in Uganda, Joseph Kony is the leader of the Lord's Resistance Army or LRA. For years, the rebel group kidnapped children in Nothern Uganda, using the boys as soldiers for his movement and making the girls his sex slave. It's estimated he's abducted 66,000 children and killed tens of thousands; often families of the kidnapped children.
To support KONY 2012, make Kony know by posting as a household name.
