Kony campaign falls flat in Sydney

FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

A campaign to cover Sydney streets in posters calling for the capture of notorious African warlord Joseph Kony has fallen flat, with just a handful of people turning up to the event.

The Kony 2012 movement exploded in March when a video detailing the atrocities of the Ugandan fugitive was viewed by more than 100 million across the globe.

The American group behind the campaign, Invisible Children, had urged its supporters worldwide to hit the streets on April 20 taping posters in public areas to remind people Kony was still at large.

But of the more than 18,700 people who indicated via Facebook they would attend the Cover the Night event in Sydney, only around 25 could be seen in Martin Place on Friday night.

Hayley Hill, 31, turned up with her husband and two young children wearing a red Kony 2012 T-shirt and campaign posters ordered online.

She said the turnout was disappointing considering the hype that was generated around the movement just a month ago.

“It’s very sad that there’s not many people out here tonight, I’m quite disappointed,” Ms Hill, from Wahroonga, told AAP. “I think that just goes to show it’s lost momentum very quickly and that’s sad.”

Some Kony 2012 supporters in Sydney blamed the wave of bad press levelled at the movement for the poor turnout.

Security guards in Martin Place could be seen tearing down the red and black posters, with police on patrol questioning the group’s activity as well.

A spokesperson for NSW Police said as long as the group’s activities were legal police would not intervene.
