Kony 2012: Humanitarian Work or Narcissistic Consumer Activism
With over 78 million views and counting, Invisible Children's (IC) KONY 2012 awareness campaign captured international attention in the span of a few days.
Uploaded March 5, the 30-minute video "aims to make Joseph Kony famous...to raise support for his arrest and set a precedent for international justice," according to IC. Kony leads the rebel Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), which terrorized the Acholi region in Northern Uganda until 2006 through rape, sex slavery, murder, and kidnapped children-made-soldiers, or kadogo.
Initially, this sounds like a humanitarian organization rallying well-intentioned people towards a good cause. A bit of scrutiny, however, reveals a number of problems with the methods of IC.
