Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens closed after lightning strikes spark fires, ‘Exciting’ material that can store greenhouse gases, The parents who regret having children, State attorney’s office “dysfunctional” and “at war with itself”, and Jerry Seinfeld has some thoughts.
We’re all susceptible to a little celeb worshipping from time to time, something that Angelina was keen to exploit in order to lure Kony out of hiding.
The KONY 2012 campaign was on everyone’s lips for a little while, but despite those efforts the warlord remains on the loose.
The point of the “Make Joseph Kony Famous” campaign had every intention to help and save the child soldiers in Uganda, but it was hit with a brick wall of controversy. What happened?
Radovan Krejcir’s MOTHER offers reward. Joseph Kony in surrender talks. Rupert Murdoch’s divorce deal. Madonna beats Gaga. Armstrong agrees deal with insurance co. SA hunting revenue tanks. University accepts Bitcoin payments. Eminem getting back together with Kim?
A R46 million bounty has been place on Joseph Kony, Lord’s Resistance Army Chief for any information relating to his where abouts and leading to his capture. Kony 2013, anyone?
Derided or not, proponents of the KONY2012 campaign have managed to make Kony famous, or at the very least a topic of conversation. And now it would seem authorities are close to capturing him as well. There are three international armies hunting him, and according to Uganda’s army chief Aronda Nyakairima, Joseph Kony is currently operating in volatile border areas between Sudan and South Sudan:
If you’ve been following the Kony 2012 movement, you’d remember they called for an April 20 world wide canvassing campaign. “Cover the Night” also hit Cape Town over the weekend and saw activists put up their share of posters around town. See all the “excitement” after the jump.
The long-awaited sequel to the Kony 2012 viral video has finally arrived, and although it’s different, it’s much of the same. Click through for the video.
By now most of you will have seen the infamous Kony 2012 video which, as of this morning, has become the most viral video ever. You’ll also have seen the considerable backlash, both from Ugandans and elsewhere. Now, watch how the original video’s creators responded to criticism, live. Click through for the video.
As the #StopKONY juggernaut continues rampaging across the interwebs and social networks, some reporters have turned to Kony’s fellow Ugandans for comment on the video, and the Invisible Children organisation’s project to bring Joseph Kony to justice. Their opinions? Not positive.
Yesterday, the internet was all about Invisible Children’s #stopKONY campaign and video, but while Americans get themselves into a froth about a country they don’t even know the location of, and a man they only know through rumours, we take a closer look at the organisation behind the hype. And as a number of commentators look closer, the cracks in Invisible Children’s premise, promises and their presentation become anything but invisible.
This might turn out to be the most inspiring documentary you will watch all year. A serious campaign is underway to bring down Joseph Kony, the infamous leader of the Ugandan guerrilla group: the Lord’s Resistance Army. The LRA is responsible for an unquantifiable number of atrocities across Uganda. Human trafficking, brutal rape, and child soldier deployment are commonplace. This is KONY 2102.
