Kony Captured

Welcome to Kony Captured, a timeline in which Joseph Kony was captured as a result of the popularity of Kony 2012. While this scenario is completely unlikely, I just wrote it for the purpose of "what-if." For all sakes and purposes, this may be labeled as an ASB - Random timeline which I do not completely mind. This will be a short timeline.

Introduction
has changed the world ever since the start of the. It has connected to us to our friends, relatives, business partners, and journalists at the different part of the globe. By the beginning of the 2010s decade, social media became a way-of-life. It has also been used for young activists to spread information on where to gather. Particularly, on December 2010, the word "Hashtag Revolution" (due to the use of the following symbol: #) became famous in the as mass waves of protests swept the region, known colloquially as the.

Situation in OTL
We all know on March 5, 2012, the documentary  was uploaded on YouTube by. It gained 43 million views in a span of 72 hours with people voicing action in favor of capturing. Part of the documentary showed that people where to buy Kony 2012 kits that were to be used on an event called "Cover the Night" in which people would place posters around the neighborhood to make Joseph Kony famous. It was to take place on Friday, April 20, 2012. The video was to expire by December 31, 2012. However, a week after the video was uploaded, negative criticisms started to appear about the supposedly ambitious campaign. Further negativity rose on March 19, 2012 when the producer of the video, Jason Russell, was arrested (but was not charged and eventually released) for running around naked and screaming in a San Diego neighborhood. Kony 2012 Part II: Beyond Famous was released on April 5, 2012, in which Invisible Children tried to defend their stance on the issue.

On the day of the Cover the Night event, it apparently failed as fewer people who promised to show up did not show up. For example one gathering in Vancouver had only 17 people; another in Brisbane had fewer than 50 attendees. In Kelowna, British Columbia several signs and posters were put up, including two large banners that were "placed on both sides of the pedestrian overpass". In Canberra, several Facebook groups resulted in a few gatherings of two or three people each; Pierre Johannessen, a "law firm partner who runs a charity for disadvantaged children", distributed around 3,000 posters to the groups to be put up throughout the city. In Phoenix, AZ, 200 posters were put up by "college students and other people in their teens and 20s", along with a number of chalk and stencil messages.

By the end of the 2012, Kony was not captured. Now, in OTL, it is 2016 (turning 2017) and yet Joseph Kony still remains at large. His current whereabouts are completely unknown, whether he is dead or alive.

Point-of-Divergence
Joseph Kony was somewhere in Central Africa by the time of the release of the video. The POD is on June 25th, 2012 when the U.S. recieved intelligence the Kony was hiding somewhere in South Sudan. The U.S. Special Forces and the Ugandan military then launch an operation to captured Kony in the dense jungles of Central Africa.
