It is high time that all Koreans in the north and the south conducted a merciless and vigorous struggle to deal a crushing blow to the aggressors and sycophantic traitors swimming against the trend of the times toward the reunification, by giving full play to their strong will and mental power.

The key to the national reunification is a nationwide struggle to put an end to the U.S. occupation of south Korea and its policy of confrontation and war against the DPRK and the treacherous moves of the south Korean authorities servile to it.
