It's not worth the effort.

It's about capturing a war criminal by raising global awareness. I just don't see how raising global awareness will help arresting a warlord in Uganda.

Don't know when this video is made but he already has.
Obama is sending around hundred armed soldiers to Africa to aid Central African joint ops in capturing Kony and his command chain.
So yeah, it's not like anyone hasn't heard of him before. I hope very much that when the time comes for Kony to get ****ed up, this video isn't praised for it.
Even though it has all the heart and effort, and a bit over drama if you ask me, it has nothing to do with the military operations that have been on-going for the past decade.

He sounds well protected, at least. Killing special forces and ****. I know what works against that. Some 155 mm Howitzers, a couple AC-130's and a whole lotta bomber planes. Just to finish it, you could nuke his damn hiding place. The US always likes to look like a savior and a hero, but puts too little effort and money in things like these, but rather in some damn desert/mountain/jungle occupied by guerilla forces.

Sounds like a real life DF overlord.
Hopefully people will learn from this about some of the other massive bastards that are rampaging around in plain sight.
That's exactly what I don't like about this video. I like the effort and the cause it has been made for.
But it's all about a violin playing in the background and the documentarist filming his child and Jacob crying.
So that people can give money and feel good.
At the moment the only people who can directly affect the conclusion in over this matter are Obama who has been working on the matter for over two years now, and the military forces of central african countries that are going to work together to destroy LRA. Not the people who press like in facebook and give few hundred bucks to charity, but the actual people who are going to be in the jungle hunting these people down.
More over, would that operation be succesful, I imagine no one would be expressing gratefulness to United States special forces and Central African goverments but instead this documentary, as if it had anything to do with it. I'd expect to see **** like "WE DID IT" "WE WERE LISTENED" in their facebook page etc. Even though the ball has literally been rolling for almost a decade in UN and other international organizations.
It doesn't really matter how many people in West coast and the Nordic countries know about Kony and what he does with LRA, when it's completely different people who already know him, what he is and are working to stop him.
And then there's of course that-
