A viral internet and street art campaign launched by the charity Invisible Children, has gathered enormous support for its denunciation of Joseph Kony, leader of a militia which has committed many atrocities in Uganda and Congo.
The denunciation is thoroughly justified, but is this a campaign we should support? Can this sort of internet activism achieve what it aims to achieve? Should we back the Ugandan government, itself responsible for many crimes, as Invisible Children wants us to? Should we demand greater US military intervention in the region? If not, what are the alternatives?
