Al Hassan Mamman Muhammad, chairman of the Nigerian National Committee for the Study of the Juche Idea, said the situation on the Korean Peninsula is inching close to the brink of a war due to the mad-cap joint military drills of the U.S. and the south Korean bellicose forces.

The sky, ground and seas of south Korea are littered with latest nuclear war hardware and means of the U.S., the chairman noted, adding:

The U.S. is to wholly blame for this alarming situation on the peninsula as it has introduced latest war hardware into south Korea and its vicinity.

Followers of the Juche idea in Nigeria and the world peace-loving people strongly denounce these war moves of the U.S. and south Korea.

We extend invariable support and solidarity to the Korean people in their final sacred action.

Robert Charvin, vice-chairman of the France-Korea Friendship Association, said the DPRK solemnly declared its will to take military counter-measures against the escalating military provocations of the U.S. and its allies.

The progressives and peace-loving forces in the world are expressing serious concern over the U.S. war moves against the DPRK and urging the U.S. to immediately halt the risky nuclear war maneuvers and promptly opt for concluding a peace treaty with the DPRK.

The friends of the DPRK and progressive lawyers fully support struggle of the Korean people.
