Hi Erkan :) personally, when i was watching, i felt that he was trying to touch emotionally people..besides, he didnt need to show his background..i think the video was not made to help the people there but to gain more money :( it is sad how they can use such issue for their own interest..this is sad and disappointing :(
Hi Erkan :) it is me again :) i dont know if what is said in this video is true but u should take a look to it, it shows they use a big part of the donated monay for their own interest : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wA0uNaGG7Hw&context=C456e75cADvjVQa1PpcFNdX7oeIRKZzJXLGcUSyqlbI2VzyJ4QLpo=
"Kony 2012 is not only a social experience which will be used to monitor and review how and if "the masses" can be encouraged/pressured into a movement, and if it works, how effective will it become.LRA and Kony haven't even been in Uganda in 6 years now. They've moved on to other countries and as a group they are exponentially smaller having little effect on the region.The USA are really looking for an excuse that will give them global support to go in and raise hell like they did with the rebels in Libya. The renewed interest in Uganda is a strategy to get hold of the newly found oil in the country in the first half of 2010."http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqXrxTe-shwhttp://www.afrol.com/articles/21834http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-15645354http://www.tullowoil.com/index.asp?pageid=282
Thanks for sharing this Erkan. I'm a bit shocked by some of the comments here. I'm sure you did your research before you decided to promote it. I think the people commenting negatively, hysterically and ignorantly about "propaganda" need to do there own unbiased research as well. Is this because the director is from "the West" it should be automatically looked upon this way? Where is your reasoning and humanity?
Sweety, who cares if he's gaining out of this. What he's doing is completely amazing, helping people he has nothing to do with. Actually, he deserves to be commended.
Hi..in my opinion, u should be able to hear the two sides..in my case, it is not that i am an ignorant but when i saw the video, i didnt believe that association and the video didnt seem to me credible..besides, i put here the link of a video that shows that they are using the money for their own interest not to help people, if u are interested here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... Moreover, i dont judge people by their origin so i dont care if he is from the west or the east !! As i read, the problem with Kony was settled 4 or 5 years ago so they are just using a pretext to take money from people... Take care :)
Hello, you're absolutely right. We need to hear both stories.
But in order to make people hear the two sides of the KONY, we first need to make them aware of it. Thanks to this video, millions of people from all around the world heard the name Joseph Kony and his deeds for the first time. And I think that's what matters.
It maybe a scam or propaganda, (which I'm not sure), but nonetheless it's a good example of how Internet can be used to raise the world's awareness.
