Argument Essay- Joseph Kony

You are fast asleep after another day of hard work. You dream of tasting the freedom for a while. But that's not the truth- a strange, blurry image emerges slowly and steadily behind you. In a blink of an eye, you are out of your bed, in the back of the car full of stern-faced soldiers. You do not know your future- death or sufferance. This is the truth in a country named Uganda...

Do you wish to be kidnapped by a perpetrator? Do you want your faces to be ripped off? No, certainly not. But this is what have been going on for the past 6 years or so, in the middle eastern part of the Africa. In this writing, I would like to argue about an issue that was raised not so long ago- about a unwanted dictator named Joseph Kony.

I think that Joseph Kony, a leader of many people in Uganda, is a terrible guy. Do you know what he have done to many children (estimated number of 30,000) in Uganda? He has kidnapped them then tortured, raped, killed them, made them into soldiers, made them kill their parents, and many more awful things.

Joseph Kony has been the leader of an army in Uganda for the past 26 years. He is the leader of the Lord's Resistance Army. He wanted power and tried to power over the country but has been captured in 2005. Soon after, he was released. From 2005 till 2012, he remained silent and regained his power amazingly. In the year 2012, he finally showed up once again. his appearance from the first day was not pleasing.

An organisation was created after his appearance called the 'Invisible Children". It ia a non- profit organisation founded in 2004 to bring awareness to the activities of the Lord Resistance Army( LRA). Specifically, the group seeks to put an end to the actions of the LRA which include abductions and abuse of children, and forcing them to serve as soldiers. To put an end to this crazy mess, the organisation requested the US government several times but have been declined several times. At last, they get a letter from Barack Obama, the president of U.S.A..

But have they been advertising the plan to stop Kony too much? This plan has gone into Kony's ears soon after it was released. Now, we don not have the slightest clue of where he went.

I think that Joseph Kony is innocent after all because I saw a guy interviewing him in real life. He had a very self- controlled looking face and was very angry when he heard them say the bad things he did.
