The Ethiopian National Committee for the Study of Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism in a statement on March 17 denounced the U.S. and south Korean warmongers for openly revealing the aggressive nature of their joint military exercises.

The statement said:

We fully support the special statement issued by the government, political parties and organizations of the DPRK that it will mercilessly wipe out the worst provocateurs who challenged the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK.

The provocateurs are sadly mistaken if they think the so-called special operation can work on the DPRK in which all the service personnel and people are closely united around their leader.

The U.S. should immediately stop its dangerous war drills pushing the situation on the Korean peninsula to the point of explosion.

Ibrahim Mantu, member of the Credit Committee of the People's Democratic Party of Nigeria and chairman of the Nigeria-Korea Friendship Association, said in his statement on March 18:

I fully support the special statement of the government, political parties and organizations of the DPRK that clarified the unshakable will of the service personnel and people of the DPRK to deal merciless sledge hammer blows at the provocateurs daring hurt the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK.

I extend firm solidarity to the Korean people who have turned out as one in the struggle for devotedly defending their leader.
