Withdrawal of U.S. Forces from S. Korea Demanded
Pyongyang, January 22 (KCNA) -- The South Headquarters of the National Alliance for the Country's Reunification reportedly issued a statement on Jan. 15 in demand of the pullback of the U.S. forces from south Korea.
Recalling that a GI present in south Korea committed a sexual assault upon a woman passerby after beating her on Jan. 14, the statement said U.S. soldiers' crimes including murder, rape and assault were committed every hour and every day.
GIs' crimes are committed habitually and as a matter of course because the U.S. forces are present in south Korea, it said, declaring: We will never pardon their crimes.
The preparatory committee for building the 15th south Korean Federation of University Student Councils in a statement on Jan. 18 bitterly denounced the U.S. forces which have imposed the pains of division upon the Koreans and, as if it were not enough, are ruthlessly trampling upon even the basic rights and life of the people in this land, incurring deep-seated resentment from them.
We will force the U.S. troops to pay for all their acts of violence, the statement said, declaring they must get out of this land at an early date, clearly seeing the strong will of the Korean nation to fight the U.S.
S. Korean Authorities Urged to Attach Importance to Nation
Pyongyang, January 22 (KCNA) -- If the south Korean authorities truly want the peace and reunification of the country, they should have the steadfast stand of attaching importance to the nation and the independent viewpoint, lift the "sanctions" against fellow countrymen, halt arms buildup and joint military exercises and immediately opt for reconciliation and cooperation.
Ro Tu Chol, vice-premier of the DPRK Cabinet, said this in a statement on Jan. 21 in support of the joint statement of the political parties, government and organizations of the DPRK.
The authorities of the north and the south have heavy duties to carry out the three tasks of the movement for national reunification so as to add brilliance to the June 15 era of reunification, he said, and continued:
The inter-Korean relations have underwent ups and downs though they had made astonishing progress amidst the cheers of all the fellow countrymen since the publication of the historic June 15 joint declaration. This is chiefly because the south Korean authorities have not done what they should do as wanted and required by the nation.
The south Korean authorities should have a transparent view and proper approach towards the nation, to begin with, and refrain from encroaching upon its interests and endangering its security.
The south Korean authorities' involvement in the acts of blocking the advance of the June 15 era of reunification and stifling the fellow countrymen are unjustifiable and they are nothing but indelible crimes against the nation.
The south Korean authorities should immediately dismantle the legal and institutional mechanisms aimed at antagonizing fellow countrymen and seeking confrontation and refrain from cracking down on the activities to introduce the reality of the DPRK through Internet and arresting and persecuting the pro-reunification patriots by faking up the non-existent "spy ring cases."
The people in south Korea should check and foil the plot of the anti-reunification treacherous forces to grab power again for the purpose of stemming the trend of the June 15 era of reunification, bringing the era back to that of the Cold War and confrontation and pursuing a war.
The vice-premier called upon the south Korean authorities to positively respond to the ardent call made by the political parties, government and organizations of the DPRK in their joint statement reflecting the will of all the fellow countrymen for reunification and their patriotic desire.
Songun Policy Praised as Weapon for Human Cause of Independence
Pyongyang, January 22 (KCNA) -- The Songun policy serves as the most powerful weapon for successfully accelerating the human cause of independence.
Rodong Sinmun Monday says this in a signed article.
The Songun policy is a sure guarantee for independence of each country and nation and their prosperity and development, the article notes, and goes on:
The imperialist reactionaries seek to deprive the people of their independent rights and shackle them to the fetters of colonial slavery. Under this situation, arms of justice should be upheld to defend each country and realize its people's independence. The popular masses' independence is guaranteed by the arms. Strong military power is a military foundation of an independent and sovereign state. Without military strength, is it impossible to protect the sovereignty of a country and a nation. Songun helps boost military capability to meet pressure and challenge of the imperialist reactionaries. Independence can never be protected in words and prosperity and development of a country cannot be achieved by solicitation. Military strength is the most powerful guarantee for sovereignty of each country and nation and their prosperity and development.
The desire of humankind to lead a happy life in a free and peaceful world has not yet been realized due to the imperialist reactionaries' moves, whereby danger of war is being created in different regions including Asia, Africa and Latin America and the independent rights of sovereign states violated. So, Songun is the only way for saving the above-said situation and realizing the human cause of independence.
Songun is the way of staunch struggle making it possible to fight against imperialism with toughest stand. The Korean people have triumphantly advanced always along the road of socialism thanks to the most powerful and superior Songun policy.
The forces for independence against imperialism, the progressive humankind, should firmly take arms to cope with any moves of the imperialists. Military strength is decisive of ensuring the human cause of independence in the present times when a life-and-death confrontation is taking place with arms. Songun helps provide a solid foundation for strengthening the driving force for the human cause of independence and steadily enhance its role. Rosy future of humankind is ensured by Songun.
GI's Sexual Abuse of Old Woman of S. Korea Assailed
Pyongyang, January 22 (KCNA) -- A soldier of the U.S. forces in south Korea was reported to have sexually abused a 67 years-old woman. This is the most monstrous crime unimaginable in human society. Rodong Sinmun Monday observes this in a signed commentary.
The U.S. forces in south Korea are infected with an abnormal sexual desire and sexual abuses are part of their daily routine, the commentary notes, and goes on:
You south Koreans should open everything to us and unconditionally obey us as "we protect" you. This is the view and contention the U.S. imperialists' domination over south Korea implanted into the minds of the aggressor forces and criminals.
It is due to the shackling alliance between the U.S. and south Korea and the way of thinking of the occupation forces enjoying extraterritorial rights that there occurred in an unbroken chain such inhumane atrocities as evidenced by the fact that a soldier of the aggressor troops slapped a former lawmaker of south Korea on the face in broad daylight, an armored car drove over young schoolgirls to death and a GI raped an old woman.
There is a problem which should not be overlooked as far as GI crimes are concerned. The pro-U.S. right-wing conservative forces in south Korea including the Grand National Party (GNP) protect such group of criminals as their ancestral tablet.
The south Korean people can expect neither genuine human rights nor social progress as long as the U.S. imperialists' policy of occupation of south Korea persists and the pro-U.S. conservative forces including the GNP are allowed to run wild, backed by them.
The fact that the above-said old woman was sexually abused by a GI brought the same disgrace and misfortune to the nation as the murder of the schoolgirls by the armored vehicle.
Japan's Foolish Bid for Permanent Membership of UNSC Ridiculed
Pyongyang, January 22 (KCNA) -- The European junket of Prime Minister of the land of Japs Abe aimed at soliciting support for Japan's bid for permanent membership of the UNSC proved to be failed diplomacy and a "tour for recreation." Rodong Sinmun Monday observes this in a signed commentary. It goes on:
Abe had talks with the British prime minister and held a joint press conference but the world public did not mention them but showed interest only in criticizing and ridiculing him. This was a deserved treatment accorded to the land of Japs, political dwarfs.
This country remains unrepentant of its crime-woven past. It is, however, eyeing even a responsible post at the United Nations with its head held high, contending that money is everything. Who on earth would treat such country cordially?
As the proverb "It is like beating the air" goes, permanent membership of the UNSC is hardly obtainable for the island country as it remains distrusted by the international community for having refused to draw a lesson from its crime-woven past.
A guilty party is obliged to make due apology and compensation for any wrong doing. This is an elementary practice and morality to prevail not only in the relationship between individuals but between countries.
It is an unavoidable legal and moral responsibility for the land of Japs to honestly apologize and compensate for the crimes it committed against the Korean and other Asians in the past.
There can be no the present apart from the past.
It is an impudent, reckless and ridiculous act for the land of Japs to try to hold a responsible post at the UN though it has neither fulfilled its commitment to redress its past crimes nor shaken off its ill-fame of being a war criminal state. The authorities in the land of Japs should bear in mind that they can hardly obtain any post unless it is trusted by the international community. The more impudently they behave, failing to fulfill any commitment, the bitterer shame they will suffer under the eyes of the world.
Rodong Sinmun Calls for Great National Unity
Pyongyang, January 22 (KCNA) -- Great national unity is the mode of existence of the Korean nation and the propelling force in the accomplishment of the cause of reunification, declares Rodong Sinmun Monday.
Noting that the issue of national reunification is, in essence, an issue of rejoining the cut blood vessels of the nation and achieving national unity as one nation, the author of the article says:
The key to pushing the movement for national reunification to victory lies in achieving the great unity of the whole nation, the driving force of national reunification.
The achievement of the unity of the whole nation stands out as an issue of greater importance in view of the situation of the country's reunification this year when the Koreans should add shine to the era of June 15 reunification and usher in the heyday of independent reunification.
Now the U.S. imperialists have gone to an extremely provocative and reckless stage in their war moves against the DPRK. It is none other than the U.S. imperialists who are bringing dark clouds of confrontation and war over the Korean Peninsula under the pretext of fictitious "threat" from the DPRK and it is again them who are egging the ultra-right conservative forces including the "Grand National Party" on to set off the counter wind of fascism and anti-reunification. The GNP traitors, with the backing of the U.S, imperialists, are making last-ditch efforts to drive back the June 15 era of reunification to the era of confrontation. This being the situation, the cause of independent reunification promoted by the Korean nation itself is facing a grave challenge and snag.
The reality shows that the advance of the June 15 era of reunification is accompanied by a life-and-death confrontation with separatist forces within and without standing in its way. And it teaches us again the truth that great national unity is the great foundation of national reunification.
The joint New Year editorial put forward the achievement of great national unity as one of the three tasks to be fulfilled by all the compatriots. This is entirely natural and realistic indication proceeding from the lawful demand of the developing reunification movement of the Korean nation.
To usher in the heyday of the cause of independent reunification this year, all the fellow countrymen should turn out energetically in achieving great national unity as required by the joint editorial.
Distance Education Center Established in DPRK
Pyongyang, January 22 (KCNA) -- A distance education center has been set up at Kim Chaek University of Technology in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
The center will give distance lectures for those in all parts of the country.
The software room for distance education has succeeded in developing new software "Risang" (ideal), thus laying a foundation to give distance education in a unique way.
The center has already conducted test distance lectures to universities in Pyongyang and local areas so as to apply it to all areas across the country.
The distance education system, with the main stress not on lecturers but on the auditors, provides conveniences to the auditors--students, site technicians, scientists and technicians.
The teaching program is worked out in compliance with the hope and request of auditors.
The center gives two kinds of lessons, actual and extra through computer. During the actual lesson, a teacher gives a lecture and, after the lecture, receives questions from students and gives answers to them.
If there are too many questions for the teacher to give answers within the set-time, the answers to the remaining question will be sent by e-mail.
In the extra-lesson, one can read the teaching program of any subject through the website at any time.
The distance education makes it possible for the auditors to receive lectures from competent teachers without visiting the university, read necessary data at any moment and have their questions answered immediately.
The distance education system, which is applicable to families, to say nothing of institutions and factories, will make a positive contribution to boost the standard of knowledge of working people in accordance with the requirement of the IT era.
Giving Importance to Munitions Industry, Vital Demand
Pyongyang, January 22 (KCNA) -- Primary efforts should be concentrated on the development of munitions industry for steady consolidation of the material foundations of our military capabilities, says the joint New Year editorial.
Without the help of strong military power, one can neither safeguard the sovereignty and right to existence of the country and nation and socialism nor build a great, prosperous and powerful nation.
As the aggressive ambition of the U.S.-led imperialists remains unchanged and the enemies persist in the moves against the DPRK, paying importance to the munitions industry in the country arises as a vital demand governing the dignity and destiny of the country and nation.
Since the Korean war the U.S. imperialists have committed grave anti-DPRK provocations such as the spy ship "Pueblo", a large-sized spy plane "EC-121" and "Panmunjom" incidents one after another and frenziedly staged reckless joint war exercises including "Team Spirit", "RSOI" and "Foal Eagle".
At the outset of the year they held a madcap air striking exercise against the DPRK with the mobilization of "B-52" strategic bombers capable of loading eight nuclear bombs.
The U.S. imperialists, twaddling about talks and negotiations, are making naked and intensifying their wild ambition to invade the DPRK.
To cope with this, the Korean people have rendered great efforts to increasing the defence capabilities and secured a powerful war deterrent to defeat any foes under the banner of Songun.
Ours is a mighty munitions industry which manufactures modern offensive and defence means, unique powerful military, combat and technical equipment as we wish so as to realize the modernization of the whole army, arming of the entire people and fortification of the whole country on a high level.
The country will consistently hold fast to the stand of giving importance to the military affairs and the munitions.
Long Journey for National Liberation Covered by Three Great Men
Pyongyang, January 22 (KCNA) -- Eighty-two years have passed since President Kim Il Sung embarked on the road of 250-mile Journey for National Liberation.
Today the Korean people with deep emotion are looking back on the long way from Mangyongdae, Mangyongdae District of Pyongyang, to Badaogou of the northeastern area of China via South Phyongan and Jagang Provinces, which was covered by three great men of the Mangyongdae family.
True to the intention of father Kim Hyong Jik that Koreans should know their country well, the President attended school in Mangyongdae. One day in January Juche 14 (1925), he received the news that his father was arrested by the Japanese imperialist police again.
He embarked on the road of 250-mile journey on January 22 with a firm determination to wage a life and death struggle against the enemy of his father and family and the Korean nation.
The 250-mile Journey for National Liberation trodden by him was a historic road to herald the dawn of national resurrection for the ruined country and open up a new era for the people's cause of independence.
The President achieved the victory of the Korean revolution and the liberation of the country.
His cause is being carried forward by Kim Jong Il who finds himself in the long journey of Songun to usher in the rosy future of a great, prosperous and powerful socialist country.
On January 16, 1998 during the trying days of the "Arduous March" and the forced march, he visited Kanggye City crossing the rugged Myongmun Pass in order to overcome the difficulties of the revolution with Jagang Province as a model.
The province is associated with the lofty traces left by Kim Hyong Jik at the dawn of history and by the President during his 250-mile journeys for learning and national liberation.
The great, prosperous and powerful country of Juche will be certainly built under the wise Songun revolutionary leadership of Kim Jong Il who covered the 250-mile road to carry the lofty cause of the President into bloom.
U.S. New Dangerous Military Moves under Fire
Pyongyang, January 22 (KCNA) -- The U.S. recently deployed a wing of F-117 Stealth fighter bombers and support personnel in south Korea.
It is a disturbing military move that the U.S. transferred formations of F-117 Stealth fighter bombers to the Korean Peninsula from its mainland and decided to deploy them in south Korea on a long-term basis at a time when a series of talks for the settlement of the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula are high on the agenda.
The U.S. introduced the above-said type fighter bombers into south Korea in 1993, 1996, 2003 and so on when it sparked off crisis on the peninsula.
F-117s were reported to have been deployed in south Korea in accordance with the U.S. air force's rotating deployment plan as they are capable of intruding deep into the air above their targets, untracked by the "enemy radar network" and striking its key facilities.
It is beyond doubt that the deployment of the above-said fighter bombers is not a simple military exercise but part of the moves to carry out the long-term strategy of the U.S. armed forces given the fact that their wing is expected to take part in RSOI slated to be held by the U.S. forces and the south Korean army in March.
The U.S. is contemplating deploying F-22A Raptor Stealth fighter, a prototype fighter in the 21st century, in the U.S. air base in Kadena, Japan, at the beginning of February in the wake of having brought the wing of F-117 Stealth fighter bombers into south Korea to be ready for an actual battle.
The commander of the U.S. air force in the Pacific said that such type fighters would provide the U.S. forces in the Pacific with greater options.
The U.S. recent introduction into south Korea of its war hardware that earned an ill fame in wars of aggression including the Gulfs War is a grave military action running counter to the efforts to seek a peaceful settlement of the nuclear issue and bring peace to the Korean Peninsula.
The U.S. behavior threatening its dialogue partner with its ultra modern war means, while asserting it attaches importance to the talks, is nothing but brazen-faced double-dealing tactics. Dialogue and military actions can never go together.
The U.S. talks a lot about "dialogue" and "negotiations" at the negotiating table but, in actuality, persists in their moves to strangle the DPRK by force of arms. This is a blatant challenge to the process to have genuine dialogue and peace.
It is a strategic aim of the U.S. to test the combat capacity of Stealth fighter bombers on the Korean Peninsula in a bid to make the appearance of the U.S. air force in East Asia an established fact and contain big powers in the region.
The U.S. should stop its military actions to disturb the peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and other parts of the world and immediately withdraw the Stealth fighter bombers from south Korea.
S. Korean Authorities' Suppression of Pro-Reunification Figures under Fire
Pyongyang, January 22 (KCNA) -- The south Korean authorities should immediately stop the action of deterring south Koreans from connecting with DPRK Internet homepages and the suppression of pro-reunification patriotic figures. A spokesman for the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland made this demand in a statement Monday.
The statement said:
Of late the south Korean authorities prevented south Koreans from directly logging on the DPRK Internet homepages and shamelessly cracked down upon even those south Koreans who posted articles supporting the Songun policy on Internet.
Such acts are fascist actions against democracy and human rights as they infringe upon the freedom of speech and expression and the right to enjoy the civilization provided by the IT age and, at the same time, traitorous acts of inciting the north-south confrontation.
It is self-evident that it would be quite impossible to achieve national reconciliation, unity and reunification if they antagonize their dialogue partner and remain reluctant to exchange information with their fellow countrymen in the north.
What should not be overlooked is that the brutal suppression of those pro-reunification patriotic figures who posted articles on Internet has become more frequent than ever before in south Korea and even "spy ring cases" are faked up there.
The reality goes to prove that the south Korean authorities are in actuality set to stem the trend of the June 15 era of reunification and bring the inter-Korean relations back to those of confrontation despite their talk about "improvement" of the relations with the north.
Japanese Reactionaries' Suppression of Chongryon Lambasted
Pyongyang, January 22 (KCNA) -- The Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in a statement on Jan. 17 strongly demanded that the Japanese authorities unconditionally and immediately stop provocations against Koreans in Japan and the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon), their patriotic organization.
It is as clear as noonday that such provocations of Japan's reactionary forces have been committed with the connivance and backing of its present ruling quarters upset by the DPRK's increased defence capability and defence of sovereignty, the statement said, and stressed:
The reckless actions of the Japanese reactionaries to revive militarism are seriously affecting the improvement of the DPRK-Japan relations and the stability of the Asia-Pacific region.
We fully support the wise and just policy of the DPRK to ensure the peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region.
Japanese Reactionaries' Campaign against DPRK and Chongryon under Fire
Pyongyang, January 22 (KCNA) -- The Party for Peace and Unity of Russia sent a letter to the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon) on Jan. 15 in support of the struggle of Chongryon valiantly standing up against the moves of the reactionaries in the land of Japs against the DPRK and Chongryon.
Expressing deep concern over the evermore escalated suppression and hostility and human rights abuses by the Japanese authorities against Chongryon and Koreans in Japan, the letter expressed full support and solidarity for Chongryon in its struggle to defend the rights and interests of Koreans in Japan.
Nelson Chavez, international secretary of the October 8 Revolutionary Movement of Brazil, in a message sent to Chongryon on Jan. 12 said that Japan, far from making an honest apology for the unimaginable and shocking atrocities committed by the Japanese imperialists against the Korean people in the past, is getting so wicked as to commit serious provocations against the DPRK and intensify their suppression of Korean nationals in Japan.
Terming such actions of the Japanese authorities an irresponsible behavior intended to disturb the peace on the Korean Peninsula and incite hostility, the message stressed that the October 8 Revolutionary Movement of Brazil would work hard to pressurize the Japanese authorities to stop at once their moves against Chongryon.
Japanese Reactionaries' Suppression of Chongryon Blasted
Pyongyang, January 22 (KCNA) -- The reactionaries of the land of Japs are getting evermore frantic in their suppression of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon) and Koreans in Japan from the outset of the year.
A spokesman for the Central Committee of the Union of Agricultural Workers of Korea in a statement on Jan. 22 said: On behalf of all the agricultural workers we vehemently condemn the reactionaries of the land of Japs for resorting to the adventurous and premeditated brutal suppression of Chongryon and Koreans in Japan, pursuant to the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK.
Last year, too, these reactionaries worked with bloodshot eyes to isolate and stifle Chongryon politically and financially as evidenced by the actions taken by them to put embargo on the humanitarian shipping service of "Mangyongbong-92", restrict the entry and departure of officials of Chongryon and Koreans in Japan from the land and conduct search operations against Chongryon-related facilities and withdraw the steps to reduce or exempt the payment of taxes on fixed properties.
It is only the cursed land of Japs in the world that has rejected for no reason foreigners permanently residing there and their overseas compatriots' organizations representing their rights and interests and is so keen to isolate and stifle them.
All the Korean agricultural workers are greatly enraged by such repressive campaign of the reactionaries of the island country adding to their crimes instead of apologizing and compensating for the massacres and plunder committed by it in the past.
The army and people of the DPRK are fully ready to mercilessly wipe out those who infringe upon its dignity as they have augmented the national power in every way under the great banner of Songun.
For Spanish-speaking people
Kim Jong Il dirige sobre terreno la Central Juventud No. 4 de Thaechon
Pyongyang, 22 de enero (ATCC) -- El Dirigente Kim Jong Il, Secretario General del Partido del Trabajo de Corea y Presidente del Comite de Defensa Nacional de la Republica Popular Democratica de Corea, dirigio sobre el terreno la recien construida Central Hidroelectrica Juventud No. 4 de Thaechon.
Tras escuchar explicaciones ante el panorama de la planta, el Dirigente recorrio el interior y el exterior de ella enterandose en detalles de la construccion y de la generacion electrica.
Al ver el dique construido en el extenso rio Taeryong, el gran lago artificial y los compartimientos de generadores electricos y de distribucion electrica, se mostro muy complacido de que los constructores hayan levantado esta magnifica creacion a ser registrada en la historia.
Este exito asombroso manifiesta orgullosamente el poderio de la invencible cohesion entre nuestro ejercito y pueblo, unidos firmemente en torno al partido y el lider, y de la potencialidad de la economia nacional independiente, sentencio.
Afirmo que significa tambien otra gran victoria de nuestro pueblo en su lucha por hacer brillar el socialismo al estilo coreano centrado en las masas populares frustrando tajantemente las maquinaciones de aislamiento y hostigamiento de los imperialistas.
Hojeando la coleccion de obras literarias creadas por los jovenes brigadistas "El rio Taeryong transmite", escucho muchas historias bonitas surgidas durante la construccion.
Las creaciones monumentales consideradas como patrimonios eternos de la patria aparecieron a costa de sangre y sudor de los jovenes de la epoca del Partido del Trabajo de Corea, dijo el Dirigente y anadio que la causa revolucionaria de Corea, iniciada por los precursores, continua sin vacilacion alguna gracias al gran contingente de los jovenes, destacamento mas vigoroso que se encarga de la defensa de la patria y de la construccion del socialismo.
Destaco que dar prioridad a la produccion electrica es uno de los mas importantes problemas para lograr el desarrollo vertiginoso de la economia nacional e indico las tareas al respecto.
Senalo que en lo adelante tambien se debe seguir concentrando la fuerza en la edificacion en gran medida de las centrales hidroelectricas, porque esto es la optima via para satisfacer la creciente demanda sobre la electricidad en nuestro pais que cuenta con abundantes recursos fluviales.
Para normalizar en alto nivel la generacion electrica en muchas plantas erguidas recientemente en distintas localidades del pais, -indico-, hay que mejorar constantemente la administracion tecnica y de equipos y aplicar activamente tecnologias avanzadas.
Es importante como la produccion la prevencion del despilfarro de la electricidad, dijo y subrayo la necesidad de elevar la eficiencia del sistema de transmision electrica para disminuir la derivacion.
Bien conscientes de su gran responsabilidad que les toca en la construccion de una potencia economica, los funcionarios de la rama deben organizar con esmero las labores economicas y resolver decisivamente la escasez de electricidad, apunto el Dirigente.
Le acompanaron el secretario responsable del PTC en la Provincia de Phyong-an del Norte, Kim Phyong Hae, y el jefe de departamento del CC del PTC, Pak Nam Gi.
Vicepremier demanda a Sur de Corea dar preponderancia a la nacion
Pyongyang, 22 de enero (ATCC) -- Si las autoridades surcoreanas quieren de veras la paz y la reunificacion del pais, deben mantener con firmeza el principio de dar preponderancia a la nacion y la posicion independiente y pasar inmediatamente a la reconciliacion y cooperacion tras poner fin a la "sancion", el aumento armamentista y al simulacro conjunto contra sus coterraneos.
Opino el vicepremier de la Republica Popular Democratica de Corea, Ro Tu Chol, en una declaracion publicada la vispera en senal de apoyo a la declaracion conjunta de los partidos politicos, el gobierno y las organizaciones de la RPDC.
Son muy importantes los deberes que corresponden a las autoridades del Norte y el Sur de Corea para glorificar la epoca de reunificacion iniciada el 15 de junio mediante la materializacion de las tres tareas del movimiento por la reunificacion de la patria, dijo Ro y continuo:
Debido a las autoridades surcoreanas que incumplen lo que les toca desoyendo la demanda de la nacion, tropezaron con serias vicisitudes las relaciones entre el Norte y el Sur de Corea que luego de publicada la historica Declaracion Conjunta del 15 de Junio, se desarrollaban milagrosamente con el visto bueno de todos los coreanos.
Ellas deben respetar a la nacion tomando una vision correcta de esta y no incurrir en acciones que perjudiquen los intereses y la seguridad nacionales. Sera nunca justificable y expiable si ellas toman parte en los actos destinados a frenar el avance de la epoca de la reunificacion iniciada el 15 de Junio y hostigar a los coterraneos.
Deben abolir inmediatamente los aparatos legales e institucionales que hostilizan a los compatriotas y persiguen la confrontacion y poner fin a la represion a quienes publicaron y propagaron por via de Internet la realidad del Norte y a la detencion y acoso a los patriotas pro-reunificacion inventando fantasmales casos de "redes espias".
Hay que frustrar en el Sur el complot de nueva toma del poder de las fuerzas anti-reunificacion y vendepatrias quienes quieren revertir la corriente de la citada epoca de reunificacion a la de confrontacion de la Guerra Fria y provocar la guerra.
Concluyo Ro exhortando a los gobernantes surcoreanos a responder activamente al llamamiento de la declaracion conjunta arriba mencionada en que estan plasmados la voluntad de reunificacion y el patriotismo de todos los coreanos.
Rodong Sinmun denuncia violacion a anciana surcoreana por yanqui
Pyongyang, 22 de enero (ATCC) -- El diario Rodong Sinmun inserto en su edicion de este lunes un comentario individual denunciando a un soldado de las tropas yanquis ocupantes del Sur de Corea quien violo a una anciana de casi 70 anos de edad.
Este incidente deviene la barbaridad de pesima calana nunca imaginable en la sociedad humana, adelanta el comentarista y prosigue:
Los uniformados yanquis en suelo surcoreano estan caidos en males tan perversos como abuso sexual que forma parte de su vida cotidiana.
Vosotros debeis ofrecernos lo todo y obedecernos incondicionalmente porque nosotros os "protegemos", he aqui la concepcion y la conciencia delictivas de las tropas norteamericanas ocupantes del territorio surcoreano.
Como producto de la desigual "alianza" Sur de Corea-Estados Unidos y el modo de pensar extraterritorial de las tropas ocupantes, se reportan sucesivamente los delitos antieticos cometidos por estas tales como la bofetada a plena luz del dia a un ex "parlamentario" surcoreano, el atropello con carros blindados a las dos alumnas y la violacion a la septuagenaria anciana.
Sin embargo, el "Gran Partido Nacional" y otras fuerzas conservadoras ultraderechistas proyanquis tratan con todos los honores a los uniformados yanquis.
Mientras sigue vigente la politica norteamericana de ocupacion del Sur de Corea y andan libremente esas fuerzas vendepatrias surcoreanas que la toman por su vida, no se puede pensar en los verdaderos derechos humanos de los surcoreanos ni el progreso social.
La violacion sexual a la anciana surcoreana es una afrenta nacional igual al caso de dos alumnas atropelladas por un carro blindado de tropas norteamericanas.
Rodong Sinmun desaprueba a Japon como miembro permanente del CS
Pyongyang, 22 de enero (ATCC) -- El periodico Rodong Sinmun publico este lunes un comentario individual calificando de fracasada y de un "simple viaje de reposo" la reciente gira por Europa que realizo el premier del pais japi, Abe, a fin de recabar el apoyo a sus esfuerzos por ocupar el puesto del pais miembro permanente del Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU.
La opinion publica internacional solo estaba interesada en censurar y burlarse de Abe mostrandose indiferente al dialogo de este con su homologo britanico y la conferencia de prensa conjunta, lo que fue un tratamiento merecido al enano politico (pais japi).
Nadie ve con buenos ojos al pais isleno que en vez reflexionar de su pasado criminal, anda antojado de ese cargo tan importante de la ONU pensando que todo es posible con el dinero.
Viene como anillo al dedo un refran coreano "No te atrevas a lo que nunca puedas hacer" para el pais japi que no quiere sacar lecciones de su ignominioso pasado.
Pedir perdon y recompensar los crimenes deviene la mas elemental costumbre y moral en las relaciones tanto interpersonales como interestatales.
Por lo tanto, el pais japi tiene la responsabilidad juridica y moral de expiar sus crimenes cometidos en el pasado contra el pueblo coreano y los otros asiaticos.
No puede haber el presente al margen del pasado.
Resulta ridiculo que Japon tratara de ocupar un puesto del miembro permanente del Consejo de Seguridad sin cumplir su deber de liquidacion del pasado criminal y salir de su deshonrosa posicion del pais criminal de guerra.
Las autoridades japonesas deben darse clara cuenta de que no podran hacer nada antes de ser confiadas por la sociedad internacional. Si ellas siguen incurriendo en acciones enajenadas de su obligacion moral, quedaran mas avergonzadas en el escenario internacional.
