Invisible Children have created a global moment of realisation; one that demonstrates the power of social media, and most importantly, the extent to which it lies in the hands of the people.

It is also concludes that until the underlying problem -the region's poor governance- is adequately dealt with, there will be no sustainable peace. It is important that amidst the hype we do our bit to engage with the full story behind this 30 minute campaign. To promote humanitarian action amongst young people can only be commended, but if we accept that arresting Kony will resolve the problems of this devastated region, we are failing to use our newly highlighted social agency responsibly.

In more ways than one, World War II was the war of the children. They started out cheering, and wound up dying. Children suffered on the home front along with adults during bombings and ground attacks, but they also did some attacking and defending of their own at the front lines.
