Pyongyang, June 11 (KCNA) -- The June 10 Independence Movement waged by the Korean people against Japan was an eruption of their pent-up grudge and resentment against the Japanese imperialists' ferocious colonial rule over Korea and a massive patriotic struggle to get back the territory of the country occupied by the latter and achieve the sovereignty of the nation, says Rodong Sinmun Thursday in a signed article carried on the occasion of the 83rd anniversary of the movement.
Through the movement the Korean people displayed their indomitable will and patriotic stamina to achieve independence and sovereignty without fail, disclosed the Japanese imperialists' barbarity and the deceptive and crafty nature of their "cultural rule" and dealt telling blows at their colonial rule, it notes, and goes on:
Decades have passed since the movement but the southern half of Korea is still trampled underfoot by foreign armed forces. This has prevented the national sovereignty from being achieved nationwide.
The reality goes to clearly prove that it is impossible to expect reconciliation and unity of the nation and independent reunification of the country nor is it possible to escape war disaster as long as foreign forces' moves for aggression are connived at and the Lee group, following them, is allowed to remain in force.
Koreans who love the country and the nation and value its dignity and sovereignty should join the ranks of people out in the nationwide struggle for independence against outsiders. It is necessary to check and foil the scenario for establishing the "triangular military alliance" involving the U.S., Japan and south Korea and the reckless racket kicked up by the belligerent forces at home and abroad to ignite a war of aggression against the DPRK and resolutely smash the Japanese reactionaries' wild ambition to stage a comeback to Korea.
