Dear Obama: Message from Victims of the LRA

[dayspeace]

i feel sad for this people who lost their loved one. Hope they will find freedom soon.

[dickran2142battle]

THE US ARMY IS AGIANST THOSE BASTARDS THEYLL DIE SOON

i guarantee that Obama saw this ivdeo

[Unitor677]

haha but there is no oil in oeganda or resources so thats why they send only a handful of soldiers not whole batalions

[RisingForceXXX]

@Unitor677 the resistance army is small compared to the taliban and al qaida  what do you expect 10,000 troops ? there no evidence that oil has ever been stolen in iraq thats just bullshit.

[eastariel]

How terrible to live without freedom, feeling powerless, having no rights.

Those who have freedom, power over their own lives, and rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, appreciate them! And please, let's do everything we can to share those priceless gifts with our brothers and sisters all across the world.

Mr. Sparkle, are you listening? These dear people need America's help. We are their neighbor. Can we please help them?

[eastariel]

Let America set an example of peace, so militant forces, fueled by weapons created in American factories, won't follow America's militant examples.

We shall live in peace someday.

[eastariel]

America needs to spend a lot less on death and a little more on life.

America is harming all nations, infecting them with fear, by infesting the world with weapons.

[pdqscorpion88]

[RememberSoCal]

I wish the American government would do more to help..... Best wishes from the USA

[wcmedows]

How much of the Libyan attack is being carried out by the U.S.? Only the first few days. Good job with the propaganda to the Kadafi video producers...

[SgtPlmFry]

That kid at 1:48 looked so sad when he looked away from the camera. Those idiots force little kids to kill, and they'll have those images in their head of killing innocent and defenseless people all of their lives. People are getting raped by those jerks. People are not born to forcefully be a part of that stupid LRA; this is crap! How do I help? ... and I really hope that my helping will involve knocking those idiots out.

[shazil888]

Sorry, The United States doesn't help any other nation unless they see the benefit of helping that nation outweighing the cost...

[MsDaniella71]

I wonder did Obama do anything about this? Where are these people now?

[PhoenixNewMedia]

You should recut this to create a greater sense of urgency and make it even more forceful. The viewer doesn't learn what this is about until 2 minutes into the video. Your target audience doesn't necessarily know what the LRA is or what law they are talking about. Too often advocacy videos are shot from the perspective of the advocate instead of the targeted audience that is usually not well informed about the subject matter.

[Liebhabaer1974]

"Fear is the way to the darkness. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering."

The biggest enemy is their own fear.

They have to fight against their own fear at first and then fight with love against the evil, not to kill anyone anymore.

Trust me, it works.

[smizla06]

Have you got any oil in your country? if yes...he will come right away ....like this no obvious interes to help you...unfortunately he and his friends are busy bombing Libya...

[456inthemix]

@smizla06 - I am not a friend of Obama, however about Libya you should inform better !

[SirWinstonChurchill]

MuBarak Obama is a fraud...



[beresbrano]

what do this poor people offer to obama? If only the human life in happiness, that is not enough for him. He trades for oil and goods. Do the business or well - I hope they will not die. We normal people are powerless against their greedy "human rights" business policy - that is why he is in iraq not there with this people - SUCK USA

[scepticpatriot]

do you really think obama is going to watch this video ??

stop dreaming !

he doesn't give a shit about anyone

[SadCookieProductions]

@scepticpatriot Dont destroy people's dreams you little shit.

[scepticpatriot]

@SadCookieProductions you're right ! it's better to make them believe in an illusion !

[Familyguylover0888]

Jesus what is up with everyone flaming me for asking simple question or replying in a convo when people have nothing to do with it...god....

[TEAMBASSASSINS]

FUCK LRA



[LC1MNP1]

Does Human Rights Watch cares about human rights?? Go check out the videos yourself. They avoid the ongoing massacre over the Middle East commit by the Westerners.

[sjokolade777]

European dissidends are jailed for thoughts and free thinking and the Nobelmafia dont care": V Renouard, G Honsik, Schaller, H MAhler, Sylvia Scholz... etc...

[Familyguylover0888]

@Jameh101 dude we do have the power but we cant just run in and start shooting they need a plan they need everyone to agree plus some people in the US wont be too happy about a new war US always plans their attacks before doing so like right now they have a plan to capture or kill kony we lost alot of troops in iraq and good money and then theres this other crap about north korea striking the south with an airstrike then iran pointing a nuke at UK or some country

[TheFinalTestament]

@Jameh101

Oh and I don't listen to "countless testimonials" from ppl who are content living with the system. Charity / Organizations need to be funded and they wouldn't dare speak against the corrupt financial establishments that pretty much dominates most of the world. LRA has not given into that - I can only applaud that. The people of Uganda will need the LRA one day -- if any of us are alive to see it. Realize Uganda has the same President since the 80's, that want to kill its ppl. Fact.

[TheFinalTestament]

@Jameh101

Oooh, I have thought again, Doesn't sound like anyone has considered the LRA's side of it. Like I said, let's worry about the countless deaths (including children) the U.S. and Co. is responsible for before even thinking we need to go fix Kony. Wouldn't be the first time the poor were scapegoated for true terrorist activities of the elite.

You think LRA is fighting from the bushes because it's just so fun!? Think again.

[Familyguylover0888]

@TheFinalTestament some of the LRAs enjoy killing and choose to stick with Kony's side ...

[TheFinalTestament]

@Familyguylover0888

Like you would know. American troops over here get a hardon for killing and raping children - that I know. Go after them.

[unicyclephil]

@TheFinalTestament Thanks for your insights. I'd call them cynical, but not necessarily invalid. I am wondering: do you have sources claiming positive sides of the LRA? Please share! You'd have a hard time changing my opinion, but it would seem best to have the full picture, to consider as many perspectives as possible.

I thought the LRA was fighting in the bushes because they're shot when they try to leave. They're mutilated when they're brought in so they can find and kill the deserters.

[Familyguylover0888]

@unicyclephil yeah what is "the bush"? i keep hearing that but i dont know what that is....

[TheFinalTestament]

@unicyclephil

1) Osama Bin Laden? Ever heard of him? Based on THAT lie the U.S. and others have ripped men women and children to shreds in the middle east. You don't see a greedy, lying corrupt world order emerging? If anyone doesn't already know about THOSE lies by now, then they do not care about Ugandan children or anyone. Why they feel the need to fake it in comments is probably just to feel good about themselves for the moment. My views aren't cynical, they're honest. (continued...)

[TheFinalTestament]

@unicyclephil

2) Ugandan President Museveni? In power since the 80's just when the LRA was formed. Interesting. He IS a fraudulent dictator. He wants to put gays to death. So think of that and see video "Joesph Kony: First Interview" and put two and two together. You also have to look at hiv as NOT being the cause of aids. No grounds for killing gays whether it exists and deadly or not.

So in fair perspective you expect everyone in Uganda to just sit and live with that filth Museveni? I dont.

[Familyguylover0888]

@TheFinalTestament err...American troops are not even near Africa....

[elcurly117]

@Familyguylover0888 American troops are EVERYWHERE. always have been, always will be.

[mafdetcat]

@elcurly117

no...not if we don't have any interests to protect we're not

[Familyguylover0888]

@elcurly117 well US troops are not in africa or russia or north korea and some other countries what country you in?

[JohnsCoolMom]

@Familyguylover0888

That wasn't his point you fucking proud idiot.

But since you mentioned it:

watch?v=puvOtOfvGz4

Yeah, Obama wants to help Ugandans, let's scoop them out for use in the B.S. Middle East holocaust.

Joseph Kony so evilll.... uuuuuuhhh derf!

[Familyguylover0888]

@JohnsCoolMom do you by any chance have turrets? and yes i know kony is evil thats why i want him in hell....

[Familyguylover0888]

@JohnsCoolMom that video you gave me has nothing to do with kony...in fact thats the iraq war...get your facts straight before calling me "idiot"

[Familyguylover0888]

obama is already doing everything he can about this but they as in Ugana or how ever you spell it should have kill Kony when they had the chance.

[ShadowNightClaw3000]

Simply fucking disturbing , i don't think the usa is as corrupt as many other third world countries. It somewhat controls or dosen't control or other european or asian countries control ,but usa seems to be headed towards that as a majority at least with the elected officals and finicial power players

[Gales99]

Wish I could meet Joesph Kony he is still one of the most wanted people in the world by numerous agencies. Almost a real-life Colonel Kurz from Apocalypse Now except more crazy. His use of children in war is pretty low even for him.

[Maino88]

The LRA are being funded by G20 nations. The Sudanese government, funded by the international community, particularly China, are passing on funds to the LRA to keep the reign of terror in Northern Uganda and Southern Sudan alive. This is a situation that is far too complicated for Mr Obama or any single world leader. It is a situation that can only be resolved by meaningful peace, and the strengthening of governments in the region to fight the LRA. Sorry for the pessimism.

[truthegreat]

@Maino88 Not true, all it takes is for ONE person to take a REAL stand against that, and thats what they are asking for.

[7thclouds]

Even after the arrest of the leaders of LRA, it has been so difficult to stop every killings and violence especially by the insurgents who have been "fighting" for some justification of robbing or ganging in conflict seeking digging mineral mining.

At G20, it would be appreciated if the leaders may take time for discussing schedule and the means to stop the killings and rapes in the area because certain international statements can have power2ease the severeness of violence against the ppl.

[invisiblechildreninc]

Thank you for making this.

[QuidnuncCBH]

We often forget the suffering that adults will feel and expect them to be strong. In contrast, they have become hopeless and not strong! There is a major difference in my opinion.

[TCM53]

So sad....

[brettk4]

WOW! Please listen Mr. President!

[TheFinalTestament]

@brettk4

Mr. President? You do all realize these leaders are all puppets fronting for corporations, including Museveni who is enjoying dicatorship in Uganda since the 80's - the same length of time the LRA was formed. So many people believe what their mainstream media tells them.

Write to President Museveni and tell him to get the F out. Who are any of to seek to dismantle a rebel army who is demanding rights from a bush? Has anyone ever thought to stand up to their local corrupt authorities?

[batlewitch]

i don't think the U.S. will do anything.that's probably false hope. this is sad.

[TheFinalTestament]

@batlewitch

Of course the U.S. won't do anything and they shouldn't! I suppose it's not sad that Ugandan government are looking to give gays a death sentence or the countless children in Iraq Afgahn and possibly Iran that will be taken from their mothers, raped and killed. Why should the U.S. do anything when they're more fucked up than Kony or the LRA is, and for less better reason.

[princessannikki]

Very moving. So sad. Say no to war.

[vthilton]

Make war extinct, not humanity.

[Meggerr69]

Ohhh boy. Sadness here.
