Lately there has been a big story in the news about a man called Joseph Kony. Joseph Kony is a man that leads an army called the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). Kony and his army has been kidnapping kids for about twenty years. He kidnaps them while they are sleep, gives them guns, and force them to kill their parents and other people. He also uses the All of this takes place in Uganda Africa. Some people even say Joseph Kony is worse than Osama Bin Laden and Adolf Hitler! Obama has sent one hundred U.S. troops to capture and kill Joseph Kony. Other U.S. civilians are trying to make Kony "famous". They want everyone to know about Kony so he can be brought to justice. On April 20, 2012 people are volunteering to go outside and put up posters everywhere in the city.
I am one of them people that is helping to put posters up. I think what Kony is doing is wrong. He should not be kidnapping children and forcing them to kill their parents. He said that he wanted power and money. If he just wants that he should just get a job not kill people. This Kony story has been spread really fast. It is still all over the news, it was trending on twitter, videos on YouTube and we have watched videos in school. As of now, no one knows where Joseph is but they are looking for him. This twenty plus years of horror needs to stop. I hope the troops find him soon. I've got information from this article http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/story/2012-03-08/invisible-children-kony-2012/53422862/1.
