Chasing Africa's Most Infamous Warlord in Uganda (

  • Kony 2012. If you were on the internet back then, there's no way you haven't heard of Joseph Kony. A Ugandan warlord who terrorized villages and kidnapped children to make them into child soldiers, he's a legitimately bad dude. Back in 2012, he was public enemy #1 for a few months thanks to some very aggressive (and slightly insane) activists. After becoming the "most viral video of all time" and receiving millions of views and shares on social media, Kony is....still living his life, uncaptured.
    The Kony 2012 phenomenon has long been forgotten, but not in northern Uganda. That's the region that was hit the hardest by his attacks. 10 years later, the region is now far more peaceful. I wanted to go for a visit and get some perspectives on the conflict. Maybe even find one of the world's biggest war/memelords. To do so, I'd have to call up a familiar face to join me in Gulu. It was time for another East African adventure.
    The story of kony2012, a great primer on Kony and the events in 2012:

      Something in the style of mark twains “idiot abroad” but with a chill African girl instead of a snarky American.
      But I would also like flying cars and a pet stegosaurus so maybe my opinion shouldn’t hold to much weight.

    It's amazing and pleasing to see how similar the Ugandan and Kenyan landscape is. In terms of Kony, I would not be surprised if he was actually in Uganda, disguised as an old, retired man. I doubt he's in the bush, risking being caught, and enduring all the rough living that is entailed with such a life. He's probably in a mansion somewhere with 10 or so close and trusted people (from the same tribe) who look after him. That would be my guess. Great video.
