Austrian Defense Minister Norbert Darabos

Darabos Adieu?

In total, there were a whopping 5,469,696 tweets about the African warlord last year. Millions of people ordered Kony 2012 packages to support the video campaign and raise awareness...
Then the NGO behind the video started to come under scrutiny with regards to the motives of some of their donors and one of the filmmakers lost the plot and ran around the streets of San Diego naked. The campaign lost momentum, to say the least, after that...
