Very interesting, we've all heard the stories of child abduction but its powerful when faces are put on all this. Most uncomfortable part of all this is how little interest the mainstream media or governments take in situations like this. I didn't know this guys name despite the thousands of children he's corrupted and lives taken, I did know the name of many people who threatened the USA with imaginary weapons. I was impressed Obama supported this though. I'm not sure what the success of a non-Uganda led upheaval would achieve, there are other Warlords and foreign help may just stop one allowing others to rise. But like most things awareness is the first stop and its a shame most media won't dirty their hands with the real stories of interest going on in our world, social media is great for that kind of thing. Will be interesting to follow this. |

I watched the video and what is happening is wrong i do how ever feel that people should check this site out: http://visiblechildren.tumblr.com/ this just talks about the "charity" and not the cause, which should be stopped. Some of the bigger topics are near the bottom |

It does definitely seem like theres an additional agenda here and a lot of theories as to what that might be. | ||

Stuff like that. Some suggesting America are trying to gain favour from the public for a glorified oil stake, others that its a part of a feel good message for Obama in an election year. Could also be a stab at media supremacy on the assumption that there's a social media revolution afoot and the collapse of old media is inevitable. This is primarily a media organisation after all.

Not the best sort of publicity for his cause. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-17409934
