This is such a fantastic blog, thank you for sharing all of this information. I didn’t realise that Kony wasn’t even in Uganda anymore and that his terrible work has spread to other countries. We clearly need to focus on learning more about the awful wars that are going on in other African countries. But it seems like the work of S.A.L.V.E. International is needed more than ever if there are children living on the streets after Kony has left such an aftermath in Uganda. I hope that the campaign by Invisible Children, for all it’s flaws, will nevertheless have a positive effect on the amazing organisations like S.A.LV.E. working in the local communities.

Thank you. Exactly the points that are in my head but I have resisted getting caught up in this for one simple reason. I work with survivors of war, rape, torture and have very little time to get online and debate such matters. The Kony2012 campaign really disturbed me but I couldn’t help but be glad that a spotlight was shining in an area no one wants to look. My discomfort has been at some of the incorrect information and also the blatantly heart strung cash raising footage being shared around the world – plus conflicting information as to how much money Invisible children were raising for themselves etc. Anyway this is the first post I’ve read that I’ve felt has grasped so many of the key issues. Thanks you x
