Single-hearted unity of Korea based on Juche idea
Pyongyang, June 4 (KCNA) -- Andria Velonandro Anselme, chairman of the Malagasy National Committee for the Study of the Juche Idea, said that the single-hearted unity of Korea is most solid and powerful because all the Korean people are rallied around the great leader Kim Jong Il as firm as an iron wall on the basis of the great Juche idea.
He, who participated in the 15th board meeting of the International Institute of the Juche Idea in Pyongyang in April, went on:
The single-hearted unity of Korea is characterized by the leader and people forming an integral whole.
The tradition of the single-hearted unity was established already in the early days of the Juche revolution and the tradition had been squarely carried forward with historic development and has reached a topmost level.

Villagers of Maehyang-ri protest against investigation results
Pyongyang, June 4 (KCNA) -- Villagers around the U.S. air force firing range in Maehyang-ri, Hwasong county, Kyonggi Province, South Korea, on Thursday strongly protested against the announcement of the results of investigation into damage by the South Korea-U.S. "joint investigation team," said a Seoul-based radio.
They said their serious damage had been sustained for 50 years, not caused only by a single bombing exercise on May 8 and the announcement of the investigation results can never be accepted.
As soon as the investigation results were announced, the measure committee of people's damage staged a demonstration with the attendance of over 150 students and members of citizens organisations at the front gate of the firing range, demanding the closure of the firing range.
The committee declared that it will occupy the firing range together with more than 10,000 citizens and students on June 6 if the U.S. air force launches another firing exercise.
Meanwhile, the South Korea-U.S. "joint investigation team," announcing the preposterous investigation results that the bombing exercise in the firing range is not related to people's injuries, pronounced that the U.S. forces command resumes firing exercises in the controversial firing range on June 2.
U.S. imperialism is sworn enemy of Korean people
Pyongyang, June 4 (KCNA) -- The U.S., the provoker of the Korean war of aggression, are the sworn enemy of the Korean people who divided Korea into two parts with the 38th parallel as the demarcation line.
When the Japanese imperialists' defeat in the Pacific War became clear, the U.S. began working out a new operation scenario for post-war aggression of the Asian continent and chose the Korean peninsula as their military bridgehead.
After the surrender of the Japanese imperialists the U.S. imperialists proposed that the "disarmament" of the defeated Japanese army should be carried out by the U.S. forces in the area south of the 38th parallel and by the Soviet army in the area north of it under the pretext that the former had two forms of supreme command over their army at that time.
The Japan proper and the southern part of the Korean peninsula, that was the area south of the 38th parallel were under the control of the troops under the general headquarters of the Japanese imperial army and its northern part, that was the area north of the 38th parallel, Manchuria and Sakhalin under the control of the Kwantung army.
Unfortunately, this parallel bisected the peninsula into two equal parts of which the U.S. took advantage to achieve their design for aggression.
They officially announced this proposal as "general order no. 1" of the allied forces command, thus drawing the cursed line of division called the 38th parallel on this land.
This was also mentioned in "Doosan World Encyclopaedia" published by the Doosan Business Group of South Korea in 1996.
Disclosing that Dean Rusk who became secretary of state later was among those who were directly involved in drawing the line, the encyclopaedia noted that "the 38th parallel was chosen according to the U.S. government proposal."
After the line was fixed it served as a train to ignite the destructive war against the Korean people and the U.S. thus emerged as the sworn enemy of the Korean nation.
U.S. mobile photo exhibition projected
Pyongyang, June 4 (KCNA) -- The U.S. decided to open a mobile photo exhibition at the "Macarthur memorial" in Norfolk, Virginia State, on June 25, the half centenary of the Korean War of aggression provoked by them, according to a press report from Seoul.
This is nothing but a despicable farce intended to powder the ugly faces of the U.S. aggressors who started the Korean War 50 years back and cover up their crimes committed during the war.
The planned mobile photo exhibition is part of the false propaganda campaign launched by them, much upset by the unending disclosure of their crimes perpetrated during the Korean War.
They also intend to stage this kind of photo exhibition which attracts nobody's attention in two years to come. This is a clear indication that how desperately they are working to tone down the public condemnation of their crimes.
