The need to disarm the LRA continues
I may not support the Invisible Children nor its current campaigns but we still need to apply pressure on world leaders and UN peacekeeping forces to capture Joseph Kony. Thanks to the work of the Invisible Children Organization, ordinary citizens around the world, know more about Joseph Kony and the terrible crimes the LRA have committed and will continue to commit if the International Community do not continue to apply pressure.
We know that this takes more than a few stop KONY 2012 posters that will cover the walls tonight and leave a huge clean-up bill in the morning. Stopping and disarming Kony and the LRA requires an intelligent and stragic approach to addressing the many issues facing the people of Central Africa. To let the world fall silent on this issue again is criminal.
There are many organization on the ground besides The Invisible Children. Such as Conscious (DRC); Orphan Assistance Union of Zemio (UAOZ); ; Orphan Assistance Union of Zemio / UAOZ (CAR); Women's movement for peace; and Action to Identify and develop Reconstruction Effort/ AIDER to name just a few. A list of agenices and straggeries we can all support can be found here.
This current war is more than 'child's play' but if as individuals we stand up to the plat and combine our collective intelligences, put pressure on world leaders surely the LRA and their supporters can be disarmed. It's time we listen to the children of Central Africa and heard there voices.
Behind every good book there's a flood of knowledge
