joseph kony 2012

Koro, Uganda (CNN) -- One of the abducted boys featured in the viral video demanding the capture of infamous warlord Joseph Konyis now a man and says the time for justice has arrived.

Jacob Acaye, now 21, revisited the village where he was abducted by Kony's Lord's Resistance Army to tell why Kony's crimes should not be forgotten.

His story has touched millions since it was featured in "Kony 2012," a video from the Invisible Children charity that created a global online buzz and renewed public interest in capturing Kony.

Critics have questioned the film's accuracy and warned that it oversimplified the situation in Uganda.

Kony first unleashed his fury in eastern Africa more than two decades ago and is wanted for crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court.

The LRA terrorized Uganda in a brutal campaign against the government and civilian population. Since 2006, when it was pushed out of northern Uganda, it has largely operated in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Central African Republic.

Invisible Children aimed to make Kony a household name and drum up global support to end the murders, rapes, abductions and other abuses committed by the LRA.

Acaye -- sitting a few meters from where he was abducted -- told CNN: "Whenever a brother is in a problem, whenever anybody is in a problem, it should get the attention of everyone in the world.

"It has been going on for the last 26 years. It shows that we are failing to solve it. And if there are any means that someone can help and it goes to end, then why not Americans get involved.

"For me the criticism [of "Kony 2012"] is unfair, because if I am to say it is fair then I wouldn't be here. Right now I wouldn't have been able to go to school. You wouldn't have been able to speak to me right now because I had no hope in my life. I reached even a point when I said, 'I can even die now' because I thought it would be the immediate resolution of my suffering, you know."

Acaye's home was Koro, a small dusty village -- a handful of circular huts off the main north-south road. There is little more than a track through the village and the occasional cockerel wanders from hut to hut.

As Acaye squatted down on the edge of Koro he said he has watched an earlier version of the Kony film, but added "It brings [back] a lot of memories. Sometimes I get sad when I watch it."

LRA rebels raided Koro in the middle of the night, smashing down the door in the hut where he was sleeping. He says they took 40 children that night.

Acaye said his brother tried to escape the LRA but was captured and executed. It was the sight of his brother being killed that made Acaye realize he had no choice but to try to escape.

He managed to reach the town of Gulu, about 11 kilometers (7 miles) from his village, and a shelter where he found safety.

Now, after more than five years of peace in Northern Uganda many wonder if the online movie highlighting Kony's crimes is too late.

Acaye is now chasing the childhood ambition he thought was lost forever -- studying law in Uganda's capital, Kampala.

He says the LRA has left his village but justice must be done.

amazing.., mercedes invisible car

Mercedes new F-Cell vehicle is being marketed as a car that's "virtually invisible to the environment." That's because the hydrogen fuel cell electric car, which converts compressed hydrogen into electricity to drive the motor, has only one emission: water vapor.

To promote the car's invisibility, Mercedes equipped one side of the car with sheets of LEDs that show streaming images captured by a Canon 5D Mark II camera attached to the other side of the car. The car blends into the background, making it nearly invisible.

The car should be going into production in 2014, and although "invisible" won't be one of the color choices, its 240-mile range should still appeal to folks.

Mercedes has portrayed the concept of the invisible car in the video below. It shows a Mercedes car moving on the road with the LED lights that fades to black color. The car is cloaked with LED sheets and a Canon 5D Mark II digital SLR camera is placed on the other side of the car. As the car moves, the people walking on the road are able to see their reflection on the car. The car flashes bright colors when it is in a standstill position on the road. Probably the bright colors are flashed to show its presence. It is an eco-friendly car which is still in its testing phase by the developers. According to Mashable, the hydrogen-powered vehicles by Mercedes are "ready for series production".
