The uprising was a heroic resistance to stand against the U.S. colonial domination over south Korea and military fascist dictatorship and realize the desire for independence, democracy and reunification.

Rodong Sinmun on Sunday says in a commentary:

The Korean people are looking back upon the heroic struggle and brilliant feats of the uprisers who recorded a page in the history of the just struggle of the south Korean people. And they are expressing the surging resentment at the U.S. and the south Korean puppet military gangsters who covered the whole of Kwangju City with blood and corpses of uprisers and innocent people.

The aspiration and desire of the people for independence, democracy and reunification are being trampled down in south Korea ruled by the descendants of the "yusin" dictatorship.

As the ferry Sewol disaster showed, south Korea is turning into a veritable hell in which the working people cannot live at ease even a moment due to the unpopular rule of the Park Geun Hye group.

If the moves of the Park group are allowed, the south Korean people will undergo bigger humiliation and meet greater disgrace by the foreign forces. And the second and third ferry Sewol disaster will occur and the people will suffer bigger misfortune under the shuddering fascist dictatorship and the treacherous unpopular rule.

Only when the south Korean people rise up as one in the massive anti-"government" resistance by inheriting the spirit of the Kwangju resistance uprisers, can they smash the U.S. colonial domination and the Park Geun Hye group's treacherous rule and realize their desire for independence, democracy and reunification.

The people of all social strata in south Korea should resolutely punish the puppet group swimming against the era and the people's mindset and committing monstrous crimes against the nation.
