i understand that odball but i have enough irl to worry about , than something miles and miles away........... my opinion, which unless im mistaken we are allowed.....
I don't think there is any problem with groups doing advocacy as their main focus, so then travel/advertising/awareness kits would be where they spend the vast majority of their money, with development projects taking up much less of their resources. It just depends what their mission is. If their mission is to stop Kony then doing development projects won't do that much, whereas awareness raising might. And yes military interventions are always fucked and the Ugandan army is not a good one, but it is a legitimate authority under direction by a democratically elected government in Uganda so that is a hell of a lot better to spend your resources trying to build up then just allowing the Lord's resistance army to run rampant. And yes the LRA hasn't been in Uganda since 2006 but they are mostly in the Congo and South Sudan now from my understanding and if this blogger thinks that the armies there are better equipped to help out he is sadly mistaken.

The US have advisors there that we don't want them to pull out, our goverment would probbably participate if under pressure aswell but we have our own financial problems. Which Mr. Key sale of state assests isn't the solution.

Tell that to Egypt.
Put it into perspective, at least broncos is making a truthful statement, that most of us are all guilty of not doing, we like to think we care, all good to sit at the computer and talk about it and how bad it all is bla bla bla, but no one on here is in africa giving up their first world luxuries or donating every spare cent you earn and living off rice! It all comes back to one thing, all humans are selfish and even when you are helping others it is in essence selfish to ones emotions. Anyway he stated his view so if he really doesn't care he won't care about this thread.
Christ the world isn't black and white, you don't either sit back being a selfish douche-bag or give up everything in your life.According to all the development/aid skeptics unless you do everything perfectly and nothing negative ever happens and if you don't give up everything in your life and revoke all luxuries , you aren't really doing any good and are a douche-bag.
Not what I was getting at, but if you are gonna call someone out on a statement like that, are you justified to do so?
This is a pretty funny post if you think about it.Uganda conflict... "BAM" Asset sales!
