Pyongyang, April 4 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Monday runs a bylined article on the lapse of 63 years since the April 3 Popular Uprising on Jeju Island to drive the aggressors out of south Korea, put an end to the pro-U.S. sycophantic traitorous rule and achieve national reunification. The article says: People of Jeju Island rose in the popular uprising against the U.S. colonial enslavement policy toward south Korea and its moves to split the Korean nation and achieve the independent and peaceful reunification of the country, fully displaying the indomitable fighting spirit and patriotism. Though 63 years have passed since the uprising, the wishes of the south Korean people for independence and reunification have not come true. The uprisers' spirit of resistance is still alive in south Korea. The south Korean people are further intensifying their struggle to put an end to the occupation and domination by the U.S., the architect of the split of the Korean nation and the root cause of all its misfortunes and sufferings, and achieve the independent reunification of the country by the concerted efforts of the Koreans in the north and the south. It is impossible to realize the desire of the south Korean people for new politics, new system and new life as long as the U.S. maintains its system for dominating south Korea. This is a bitter lesson drawn by them through the experience of their distress-torn life. All the Koreans in the north, the south and overseas should wage a more dynamic struggle against the anti-reunification forces at home and abroad who deny the north-south declarations, hamstring the efforts to implement them and swim against the trend of the times for dialogue and peace. The south Korean people are sure to emerge victorious in their patriotic cause to drive out the foreign forces and achieve national reunification by carrying forward the indomitable patriotic spirit of the participants in the uprising. |
