Rodong Sinmun Sunday says this in a bylined article.

The whole south Korea is the U.S. imperialists' colony, the article notes, and goes on:

South Korea is totally dependent on the U.S. in politics, economy, military affairs and all other fields and its ruling quarters are following the U.S. policy in every step and moving at the instructions and under the backstage manipulation of the U.S.

South Koreans' desire for democracy was ruthlessly dampened by the U.S. moves to maintain colonial rule in south Korea, which is being derided as the world biggest barren land of human rights.

The puppet regime is keen on dictatorship and suppression in a bid to cook people's goose for independence, democracy and reunification while serving the U.S. in its policy for colonial domination.

The puppet ruling quarters are maintaining their pro-American dictatorial regime under the patronage of the U.S., violating the people's democratic freedom and rights. This is being led to an action for reviving "yusin" dictatorship under the present regime.

All facts go to prove that human rights can never be ensured without sovereignty.

Outsiders' domination can not go with the independent rights of the popular masses.

South Koreans' democratic rights can never be guaranteed under the U.S. colonial rule.
