There are no bracelets, no posters, no videos of cute children, just a group of committed individuals with professional support that want to locate Kony and turn him in. To do that we are launching a new media venture called “Dangerous” to support this idea of finding the facts, causing direct action and doing good. "Dangerous" is a multimedia real world participatory platform for engaged people who are tired of witnessing” atrocities. A tool for moral people who are done with having their awareness raised while evil triumphs. “Dangerous" is the new community of action-oriented people who will take on the world's problems and change things for the better.
Some will be invited to join, some will help, some will support. All will be engaged. Ideally if we get our funding and the idea grows, there will be no middlemen. “Dangerous” will hire locals and volunteers to research, gather ground truth, put boots on the ground and deliver the goods. As we get closer you decide what we do next. We stay in touch 24/7 directly, electronically through traditional and social media as well as the multi dimensional magazine called “Dangerous”. It's time to make a difference. It's time to get dangerous.

Joseph Kony is not the most violent, powerful or even
criminal of men. His Acholi tribal group is just one of many armed ethnic movements
in the Northern Uganda. It could be argued that atrocities and human rights
violations flourish on all sides and that Kony is simply the most publicized
person and his group the most hunted. You may even be shocked at the
amount of propaganda generated against the Acholi's and Kony when we find him.
But either way you will learn the truth.
We will meet all the players and you
can decide exactly what is going on in the search for Kony and once you
understand the legal mandates and motivations you can also select what should
be done.

Kony is from Odek near Gulu in
Northern Uganda. He is an Acholi, a tribe that was favored under Ugandan
President Tito Okello in the 70’s. When Okello, an Acholi tribal leader was
overthrown by Yoweri Museveni, the fighting resulted in dramatic violence,
looting and persecution of the Acholi. The Lord’s Resistance Group or
Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) was one of the groups that fought back against the
government pogrom beginning in April 1987 when they left their village to
fight from the bush. The Acholi were driven from their land, kept in
concentration camps, starved and even gunned down from helicopters. This
period of persecution continued until 2006 when Acholi’s were allowed to return
to their land.
The LRA had the support of the people
and continued to fight against corruption and intimidation by poorly paid and
trained rural Ugandan government forces. In the mid 90’s a series of
negotiations began but Kony chose to accept funding from the Islamic country of
Sudan and fought against the Southern-based Sudanese local rebels groups who
wanted to create what is now the country of South Sudan.
It was at this time that Kony began
the tactic of attacking refugee camps and kidnapping children in large numbers
to act as porters, workers and domestic partners for his soldiers. The violent
actions of the LRA and the fighting with the Ugandan government resulted in
massive displacement of the Acholi. To
say the vast area that Kony roams over is both troubled, remote and dangerous
is an understatement.
On August 26, 2006 rebel leader Riek
Machar negotiated a peace settlement with Joseph Kony. A press release
was held and Kony met with the world. However in December of 2008 the
government of Uganda attacked Kony’s group and a number of violent atrocities occurred
in Uganda, Sudan, Congo and the Central African Republic.
Since 2011 Joseph Kony and a small
band of men have been moving along remote waterways and in Garamba National
Park. His rag tag rebel group have been poaching, looting and robbing locals to
survive. Reports show that Kony and/or his followers have traced a slow
arc from the Kafia Kingi region to Central African Republic and into one of the
oldest parks in Africa.
