Rodong Sinmun says all Koreans in the north and the south and abroad should turn out as one in the struggle to smash the challenge and obstructive moves of the separatist forces at home and abroad, with the same mettle and spirit as were displayed by the patriotic forerunners, and achieve the country's reunification, the supreme desire of the nation.

It goes on:

The anti-reunification confrontational maneuvers of the U.S. and its vassal south Korean warmongers are a stumbling block to the national reconciliation and unity and reunification of the country.

The reality shows that all Koreans in the north and the south and overseas are urgently required to courageously turn out in a nationwide struggle for resolutely smashing the frantic challenge of the separatist forces at home and abroad and opening up a turning phase for the national reunification under the banner of national independence.

The entire Korean nation at home and abroad should intensify the struggle for putting an end to the U.S. imperialists' presence in south Korea that has lasted for decades.

They must mete out a merciless punishment to the anti-reunification pro-U.S. lackeys who are keen on nothing but pro-U.S and submission, challenging the national unity and the cause of reunification.

They should also thoroughly smash the reinvasion moves of the Japanese reactionaries becoming undisguised day by day and the dangerous maneuvers of south Korean lackeys following the Japanese reactionaries.

Minju Joson calls for opening up a new phase of independent reunification this year through the nationwide struggle with the pride and honor of having the peerlessly great men of Mt Paektu as the sun of the nation and the lodestar of national reunification.
