Were you one of the 100 million people who watched the KONY 2012 video? Have you at least heard of it? Sure you did! It has almost been 3 years since the release of the video; but have you ever wondered what happened since then? Did you ever ask yourself where did the donated money go? I decided to look for everything that happened since “the Invisible Children became visible.”
Three years since Mohamed Merah’s attacks in Toulouse. A month since Charlie Hebdo’s attacks in Paris. A week since the attacks in Copenhagen. The authors of these attacks were all Muslim and medias have been walking on eggshells. Journalists are trying really hard not to mix the terrorists’ religion and their acts. They really are trying hard, but I guess too hard and the only thing they received from that was mockery. #PADAMALGAM was born.

Moving abroad is a very big step for anyone who decided to take the risk; and if you ask anyone about it, they will tell you that it’s a life changing experience and that there is no turning back.
The War in Afghanistan? Taliban bombing local village? Young women abducted in Afghanistan? These are commons headlines that made the news concerning Afghanistan.
