nvisible Children has been condemned time and time again. As a registered not-for-profit, its finances are public. Last year, the organization spent $8,676,614. Only 32% went to direct services (page 6), with much of the rest going to staff salaries, travel and transport, and film production. This is far from ideal, and Charity Navigator rates their accountability 2/4 stars because they haven’t had their finances externally audited. But it goes way deeper than that.

The group is in favour of direct military intervention, and their money funds the Ugandan government’s army and various other military forces. Here’s a photo of the founders of Invisible Children posing with weapons and personnel of the Sudan People’s Liberation Army. Both the Ugandan army and Sudan People’s Liberation Army are riddled with accusations of rape and looting, but Invisible Children defends them, arguing that the Ugandan army is “better equipped than that of any of the other affected countries”, although Kony is no longer active in Uganda and hasn’t been since 2006 by their own admission.

Still, the bulk of Invisible Children’s spending isn’t on funding African militias, but on awareness and filmmaking. Which can be great, except that Foreign Affairs has claimed that Invisible Children (among others) “manipulates facts for strategic purposes, exaggerating the scale of LRA abductions and murders and emphasizing the LRA’s use of innocent children as soldiers, and portraying Kony — a brutal man, to be sure — as uniquely awful, a Kurtz-like embodiment of evil.” He’s certainly evil, but exaggeration and manipulation to capture the public eye is unproductive, unprofessional and dishonest.




I'm feel that it is not a bad cause but then again there are better causes to support. a lot of you people on facebook pretend to care but won't donate money to good causes. bandwagon supporting. & there was a thread for it in the media section.

I've check that video and some others.. Many people are making a point that this "movement" is just an excuse to start a war in Africa like Afghanistan..
And the irony of all this, there's a lot of oil over there.. Hm.. Something to think about? Yes? And you cannot deny the fact that more of our troops will
go to waste over there and die. If you think about it, it COULD be a sophisticated scam.
We are better off protecting our own butts right now... Think about it..

But honestly.. It's so hard to tell what's real from unreal.. What is really going on in our world?
