My Way News - Dad-son talk, celebrity tweets key to viral video
My Way News reports: "The LRA began its attacks in Uganda in the 1980s, when Kony sought to overthrow the government. Since being pushed out of Uganda several years ago, the militia has terrorized villages in Congo, the Central Africa Republic and South Sudan [...] Attacks continue, with victims mutilated by machetes, their faces slashed into grotesque shapes. Women are raped and killed. Young girls are forced into sexual slavery."

Comment: Kony leads the Lord's Resistance Army, but not the Lord you are thinking of...more like a Dark Lord. The video campaign is impressive in the way it's mobilized people all over the world to care about these atrocities and to think they can do something about it.
