KONY 2012 is a film and campaign by Invisible Children that aims to make Joseph Kony famous, not to celebrate him, but to raise support for his arrest and set a precedent for international justice.
The Wizard of the Nile - Published by Portobello Books
Somewhere in the jungle of Uganda, there hides a fugitive rebel leader: he is said to take his orders directly from the spirit world and, together with his ragged army of brutalised child soldiers, he has left a bloody trail of devastation across his country. Joseph Kony is now an official enemy of the US and wanted in Europe for war crimes, and yet nobody really knows who he is or what he is fighting for.
Intrigued by the myths, Matthew Green headed off into a war zone, determined to track down the man himself. Along the way, he met the victims who have been abducted, raped, or maimed by Kony’s soldiers, the refugees living in poverty and fear in overcrowded camps, the foreigners trying to bring peace to this desperate and divided land, and the political leaders who have their own reasons for allowing the war to shudder on.
The Wizard of the Nile is the first book to peel back the layers of mysticism and murky politics surrounding Kony, to shine a searching light onto this forgotten conflict, and to tell the gripping human story behind an inhumane war and a humanitarian crisis.
