My Invisible Children: The Rescue Video

On April 25th, Invisible Children held a rally across 9 countries in 100 different cities. People met up at one location and then walked to a "LRA Camp". Participates held onto ropes just like the children in Africa who are abducted. At the camp, the people who abducted themselves waited for someone to rescue them. Many celebrities and politicians have come to the rescue in most of the cities but many of the cities are still waiting as of RIGHT NOW to be rescued.

Here is a video I made and posted on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bUtl3p-4D8

The clips are from Uganda and a few of the rallies around the world. Music is "Rescue Me" by Tokio Hotel

Invisible Children

Approximately 2,000 - 3,000 children are in the LRA today.
In the past 20 years about 30,000 - 50,000 children have been abducted.

For 23 years, the government of Uganda and a rebel group called the Lords Resistance Army, led by a man named Joseph Kony, has engaged in Africas longest war. In recent years, peace was seemingly within reach, largely due to the Juba Peace Talks that began in July 2006. However, despite a ceasefire signed between the LRA and Ugandan government, efforts toward peace through the Juba Peace Talks were stalled on several occasions by Konys refusal to sign the final peace agreement. Konys absence at the peace agreement signing on November 29, 2008 proved his promises to be futile and ultimately disabled the peace talks. Furthermore, the ICC has obtained evidence that Kony used the ceasefire during the peace talks to regroup, regain strength and resume child abductions. Joseph Kony is the worlds first individual indicted by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity. Since September 2008, hostility in the Orientale province in DR Congo and Western Equatoria in South Sudan has reached a feverish pitch. In apparent desperation and a renewed will to spread terror to DR Congo, the LRA murdered over six hundredand abducted more than one hundred and sixty children to fight amongst its ranks on December 25, 2008. More than 104,000 Congolese have been displaced since Christmas in attempts to escape the LRA forces. A civil war, originally contained within Ugandas borders, has now evolved into a widespread regional crisis. Invisible Children, in concert with other policy organizations including Resolve Uganda, The Enough Project, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, now believes an international effort to apprehend Kony and rescue his child soldiers is the most viable way to end the most neglected humanitarian emergency in the world today.
