Will Putting a Price Tag on Kony’s Head Work?

US Congress Passes Reward Legislation to Capture LRA Leader - Sudan Tribune

Will putting a price tag on Kony’s head only further demonize and dehumanize Kony? Kony has committed inhumane atrocities, but continuing to objectify him fails to contextualize the conflict. Not only that, but it only continues to portray the conflict in black and white. Bad guys: LRA. Good guys: UPDF. However, sometimes we have to realize that things are not always black and white, but somewhere in between.
