Angelina Jolie: Joseph Kony is an ‘Extraordinarily Horrible Human Being’ [VIDEO]
Being not only an A-list actress but also a humanitarian and a Goodwill Ambassador to the United Nations, Angelina Jolie calls out for Joseph Kony's arrest.
The famous actress has joined the list of people who is calling out for the arrest of the Ugandan leader Joseph Kony. This is after the KONY 2012 video has gone viral with almost 76 million views already.
During the International Women's Day in New York, Jolie spoke out about the Ugandan leader and said that she doesn't know anyone who doesn't hate Kony.
The 30-minute KONY 2012 video was made by the charity Invisible Children who calls out for the arrest of the L.R.A. leader who is accused of kidnapping and trafficking children for his militia. Although the video won many favors, positive comments and awareness from viewers, it also earned a lot of criticism.
"I've been to Uganda and Congo and been to the International criminal court myself he's the one we all want to see in jail, so I think it's great that more people are talking about it," Jolie said.
"He's an extraordinarily horrible human being who, you know his time has come and it's lovely to see that young people are raising up as well."
Angelina Jolie was one of those "culture makers" that the Invisible Children charity targeted to make their efforts and their attempts more amplified.
And in just 48 hours from uploading the video, the charity reportedly made $5 million. What will happen to the funds they gather is still unclear as financial statement from the foundation shows that only 32% of the $8.6 million they gathered last year went for the children.
It wasn't the first time Angelina spoke about Kony. In 2010, during her interview with ABC anchor Cynthia McFadden, the actress said that she hated Joseph Kony and she would be tempted to "take him down" if they were together in one room.
