    Ugandans React Angrily To Kony 2012 Propaganda Film

    'The viral Kony 2012 propaganda film has stoked anger amongst those it was ostensibly designed to help – Ugandan citizens – who see through the movie as a transparent ploy to legitimize a US military invasion of Africa.

    There has also been a massive backlash against the fact that the Invisible Children organization openly supports the 30-year dictator of Uganda Yoweri Museveni, a man who resorted to election fraud last year to hold on to power and has been implicated in murders and acts of genocide against his own people.'

    You know I was quietly glad a lot of people started reiterating the same criticism I was thinking about IC justifying more military influence in Africa etc. but honestly I hope this doesn't change their minds about the actual issues. It could be seen as an opportunity for people to look into these issues deeper and figure what IS the right thing to do, what the REAL situation is all about. There is still a lot of urgency needed around Africa but not the "Kony 2012" kind.
