Why do we have to sit and deal with the likes of these two men? Kony has been waging a war he knows he can't win, however, he knows he can't completely be defeated by the Ugandan army alone. So, why does the African community sit and do nothing to force this guy to abandon his murderous rampage? And why did Museveni order the offensive against the LRA (Lord's Resistance Army) that was poorly planned and executed? An offensive that enraged the LRA and gave them a reason to commit attrocities they have perfected over the past two decades. Something they hadn't been able to do much of in the past couple of years.
We need to come together to stop senseless wars like this and we need to bolster struggling governments. We are only as strong and stable as the weakest, failed state among us. We need to serious look at Khaddafi's idea of a united African state that is not bound by borders. These borders were established by Europeans without any African representation or even consultation. When we continue to abide by them we are paying homage to our European masters who continue to govern us through, among other things, our limitations to these borders.
Let's make our voices heard to end Kony's nonsense war.
