Current situation: U.S. military advisers are currently deployed in central africa on a time-limited mission. Invisible children has been working towards this for 8 years. If Kony isnt captured this year, the window will be gone. We are taking aCtion to ensure these tWo things: 1) That Joseph Kony is known as the Worlds Worst War criminal. 2) That the U.S. military advisers support the Ugandan army until Kony has been captured and the lRa has been completely disarmed. They need to follow through and finish what they have started.
Does invisible ChilDren enDorse a politiCal party or CanDiDate? no. Invisible children is a bi-partisan, 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. We have seen that everyone, regardless of political beliefs, can agree that Joseph Kony needs to be arrested. What happens if kony is CaptureD or killeD? This campaign is advocating for the arrest of Joseph Kony so that he can be tried for his crimes in an international court. Konys capture would not only end his ongoing atrocities, but it would also set a strong precedent for the future of international criminal justice. however, if Kony is killed during the ongoing operation, it would still be a victory for the hundreds of thousands of innocent people living in fear. That said, it would not necessarily result in the immediate end of the lRa. once Joseph Kony and his top commanders are removed from the battlefield, and the lRa is completely disarmed, reuniting families and rehabilitation will be the first priority. Invisible children has constructed the first and only child rehabilitation center in the lRa affected region in DR congo. The center is currently treating the most traumatized children. is invisible ChilDren enCouraging illegal aCtivity in the posting of kony 2012 Campaign materials? no. Dont do anything illegal. Dont get arrested. Research your citys rules about posting campaign materials and use common sense.
