                             Joseph Kony, now bye bye!

Kidnapping kids while they are sleeping. How do you think about this situation? Isn’t that kind of person bad? Absolutely yes. Imagine that you are kidnapped by a stranger when you are sleeping. I will be very sad and will miss my mom and dad. What if that stranger commands you to kill your mom and dad? I would just run away even though there is danger of being killed. This stranger is called Joseph Kony. Now, people are trying to make this guy, Joseph Kony famous. I oppose to this because Kony might feel threat and run way, Kony might start a war, and Kony will kidnap more kids. Also, l will tell you why people who tries to make Kony famous is wrong.

          First of all, Joseph Kony should not be famous because Kony might run away if we make him famous. If we make him famous, Kony will know that we are after him, so he will feel the threat and run away. So, we might not be able to capture Joseph Kony. Then, the situations will get even worse. Also, if he runs away, he will kill children that he kidnapped before running away. This is the reasons why we should not make Joseph Kony famous.

         Secondly, Joseph Kony might start a war between other countries or against Uganda if we make him famous. Even if Joseph Kony feels worried about being captured, he will not give up his dream ‘Getting a great power and showing it to the whole world’. To keep his power, he will use children that he kidnapped as solders to fight against others. Then, other countries might not be able to fight bck because they will have to kill children that Kony kidnapped to capture or kill Kony. If this situation really happens, it will be hard to stop Kony. It is because soldiers or other adults will not kill children. To prevent Joseph Kony starting a war using children, we should not make Joseph Kony famous.

           Thirdly, Joseph Kony will kidnap more children if we make Joseph Kony famous. As I said in my fourth paragraph, Joseph Kony might start a war. To start a war, he will prepare more for a war. Joseph Kony will prepare more soldiers, and those soldiers will be children in Uganda that he can kidnap. This time, he might take all children in Uganda. It is because he will have to fight against a well trained army. Also, he will gather more children to show that he has a large army. So, we should not make Joseph Kony famous to save children in Uganda.

          

            Lastly, some people that try to make Joseph Kony famous are wrong. They say that people will gather and government will have to send their army. But, before government sends an army, Joseph Kony will run away or threaten the children. So, people who try to make Joseph Kony famous are wrong.

        

            In conclusion, we should not make Joseph Kiny famous. Reasons are that Joseph Kony might start a war, kidnap more children, and run away. These were why we should not make Joseph Kony famous and people who tries to make Kony famous is wrong.
