Kim Jong Il's election as WPK General Secretary hailed abroad

Pyongyang, November 2 (KCNA) -- Personages of Uganda and Zimbabwe published statements in celebration of Kim Jong Il's election as General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea. Chango Machyo, deputy national political commissar of the mass mobilization bureau in the President's office of Uganda, said in the October 20 statement titled "H.E. the General Secretary Kim Jong Il is a recognized, great leader": "The respected Kim Jong Il's election as WPK General Secretary is quite natural in view of his feats for the strengthening and development of the party and of his absolute authority and prestige. "He has strengthened and developed the WPK into a veteran and militant, revolutionary party, absolutely supported and trusted by the entire people, leading the party and state affairs as a whole from 30 odd years ago. "Today the progressive people throughout the world highly praise him as most prestigious leader. "Indeed, the election is the realization of the ardent wish and desire of the world's progressives, to say nothing of the Korean people." Ignatius Chombo, Minister of Higher Education and Technology of Zimbabwe, said in his statement dated October 17 it is great happiness and honor of the Zimbabwean people that comrade Kim Jong Il was elected WPK General Secretary on October 8 amid the unanimous support and wish of the Korean people.


CPRF on repression of Juche idea followers in s. Korea

Pyongyang, November 2 (KCNA) -- The Secretariat of the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland published information bulletin no.748 on Saturday criticising the Kim Young Sam fascist clique's intensified repression of Juche idea followers. On October 28 the Kim Young Sam group arrested ten odd hardcore members of the independence ranks of the Chonan branch school of Dankook University including its chairman Yu Jong Song on charges of studying the Juche idea. The arrest is a premeditated act of repression intended to check the movement of patriotic students and people for independence, democracy and reunification, the bulletin says, and goes on: Their study and dissemination of the Juche idea are natural in view of the tendency of the times or young students' feature which is characterised by sensibility to new things and strong enterprising spirit. This notwithstanding, the Kim Young Sam traitorous clique are frantically cracking down upon those students, claiming that their activities have been conducted under the north's "line of revolutionizing the south". The repression is nothing but paroxysm of those frightened at the influence and invincible vitality of the Juche idea. As it is impossible to block the sunbeam with the palm of a hand, any repressive move can never block the strong rays of the Juche idea from penetrating into the hearts of students and people in south Korea nor break their faith and will to achieve independence, democracy and reunification under its great banner.


DCRK founding proposal supported abroad

Pyongyang, November 2 (KCNA) -- The Egypt-Korea Friendship Association recently published a statement to mark the month of support to the proposal for founding the Democratic Confederal Republic of Koryo. The statement said it is the cherished desire of the Korean nation and the unanimous desire of the world's peaceloving people to achieve a durable peace in the Korean Peninsula and its peaceful reunification at an early date. It said: "The DCRK founding proposal advanced by his excellency President Kim Il Sung, the respected leader of the Korean people, early in the 1980s is a reasonable and fair way of reunification whereby the north and the south of Korea do not seek supremacy and interests of one side and no harm is done to any side. "Korea, reunified by means of confederacy, will remain a state independent, peaceful and neutral, posing no threat to any country. "The south Korean authorities must renounce their anti-national policy of division and confrontation, in conformity with the expectation and demand of the entire nation and the trend of the times. "We strongly demand that the united states and south Korea immediately stop all the military exercises including 'Foal Eagle' joint field training against north Korea." Meanwhile, the chairman of the Indian federation for world cooperation and cultural relations said in his statement that the U.S. directedly responsible for the division of Korea should give positive cooperation to Korea's reunification. The Korean nation with General Secretary Kim Jong Il as the lodestar of national reunification will surely build the Democratic Confederal Republic of Koryo in the country, he stressed.


More secret funds of traitor exposed

Pyongyang, November 2 (KCNA) -- It has been brought to light recently that the Chun Doo Hwan is keeping in secret 88 billion won in the form of bearer industrial monetary bond, the south Korean newspaper Hangyore reported. In summer, Chun, the dictator of the "Fifth Republic" of south Korea, had been criticised for converting some of his secret funds disguised as bearer industrial monetary bonds and public dwelling bonds into cash on debenture market while in prison. With a view to diverting elsewhere public criticism, the Kim Young Sam regime opened to the public the existence of the secret funds amounting to 88 billion won after investigating Chun's financial dealings in prison. However, Chun's malpractice could be done only under the protection of the "civilian" regime.


Hanchongryon's cause is righteous

Pyongyang, November 2 (KCNA) -- Less than 30 percent of students took part in a recent vote organised by Yonsei and Choong-Ang University student councils on whether to withdraw from the South Korean Federation of University Student Councils (Hanchongryon). As a result, the withdrawal from Hanchongryon proved abortive. Rodong Sinmun today brands this as reflecting the will of the south Korean students to defend Hanchongryon and attain its objective. The news analyst says: A campaign of seceding from Hanchongryon is being conducted at some universities of south Korea, manipulated by the puppet agency for national security planning to stifle the pro-democracy patriotic forces including Hanchongryon. The campaign is far from reflecting the will of students who cherish justice and truth and fight for independence, democracy and reunification. Kim Young Sam proclaimed an "operation of obliterating Hanchongryon," saying it would be the most important task during his term of office. He cracked down on the August 15 pro-reunification event of students, branding it as "pro-north, enemy-benefiting action." The crackdown was reminiscent of the Kwangju bloodbath. With no appeasement, threat and bayoneting, however, the puppets can block the advance of Hanchongryon, which fights for the cause of justice. Hanchongryon, which inherited the tradition of the patriotic steel-like Jondaehyop as the vanguard in the struggle for independence, democracy and reunification, will valiantly fight to meet the expectation of the nation as ever. It is historical truth that justice wins and injustice fails. No force on earth can break the iron will of the south Korean students to rally their ranks and win in the final battle against the "civilian" fascist dictatorship. However harsh the dictators' suppression may be, Hanchongryon will maintain its existence, grow in strength and unreservedly demonstrate its honor as a group of fine sons and daughters of the nation.


Warmaniacs will get nothing but self-destruction

Pyongyang, November 2 (KCNA) -- If the United States and the south Korean puppets dare unleash war of aggression on the DPRK, it will be as good as jumping from the frying pan into the fire, says Rodong Sinmun today. The news analyst continues: One of the factors of threatening peace in Korea and aggravating military confrontation and tension is large-scale aggressive joint military maneuvers staged by the south Korean puppets with foreign forces against the DPRK. The U.S. military and the south Korean puppet warmongers describe the "Foal Eagle" exercise as one for "testing the capacity of protecting the rear and the major command, control and communications systems" in a bid to conceal its aggressive and provocative nature. Their sophism can deceive no one, however. No one can vouch that the "Foal Eagle" exercise would not go over to real war against the DPRK if chance comes. The "Foal Eagle" is a version of the "Team Spirit" and an adventurous, dangerous military action to test and supplement the capacity of attack on the north, get acquainted with it and invade the DPRK any moment. We can never allow the U.S. imperialists and the south Korean puppets to fly the aggressive "foal eagle" and bring clouds of fratricidal war. Our revolutionary character is to answer good faith with good faith and war with war. We love peace. That is why we have no mercy toward the provokers who threaten peace. It is foolish of the U.S. military and the bellicose Kim Young Sam regime to hurt the DPRK with "strength."
