Is KONY 2012 A Scam To Steal Uganda $1 Billion In Newly Discovered Oil?

The people of Uganda believe that "Kony 2012" is a ploy for the United States, China, Europe, and Iran to steal 1 billion barrels worth of newly found crude oil. The country the "KONY 2012" movement is taking place recently (3 to 4 years ago) discovered a large deposit of oil. The founders of the oil (who has been pushing "KONY 2012"), an exploration firm of white men discovered the oil near the shores of Lake Albert.  
In a country where nearly 40 percent of the population survives on less than $1.25 a day, this was a big find, yet a problem remains. Uganda’s oil lies underneath the forests and lakes lining the border with its troubled neighbor Congo. Oil industry and government officials estimate that Uganda will be able to pump about 200,000 barrels a day. Uganda’s oil is waxy, difficult to pump, and expensive to refine. Many private investors from the United States, Europe, and China are ready to jump at the opportunity. The investors have been in and out of the country for the last four years. 
In 2011, three years after the oil was discovered the US government announced that it will deploy troops to help Uganda fight the rebels. Kony’s reign of terror in Uganda lasted for 26 years before ending in 2006, so why is there so much renewed interests in a threat that is seemingly no longer there? Oil!!!
Kony is ill and is near his death, if not already dead. Kony's family members revealed years ago that he was not even able to walk. The troubled leader hasn’t been seen by anyone in years. His troops, mostly children, still have a very small presence in the region, outside of the country but are quickly becoming disbanded.

WOW! It's disturbing that they didn't help 26 years ago when this first took place. Why now?

I knew this was a scam. I heard about it years ago. Now it's such a big deal! I couldn't figure out why until now.
