U.S. Military Presence in S. Korea Is Root Cause of Misfortune: Rodong Sinmun
Pyongyang, September 9 (KCNA) -- It is 72 years since the U.S. military occupation of south Korea.

The U.S. aggressor forces' occupation of south Korea was a brigandish act of aggression which wantonly trampled down the desire the Korean nation and violated requirements of international law, says Rodong Sinmun Saturday in an article.

The article goes on:

Terrible, indeed, are misfortune and pain being suffered by the Korean nation due to the occupation.

Nevertheless, the south Korean puppet regime oft-repeats "relations of alliance" with the U.S. and works hard to stand against the compatriots in the north to the last, allowing the aggressor troops to stay indefinitely in south Korea. Recently, it fawns up its U.S. master and begs for "strengthened alliance", frightened by the successive toughest measures taken by the DPRK against the U.S. The puppet regime more frequently stage war drills against the DPRK in league with the U.S. aggressor forces only to do harm to the dignity of the nation and its interests and threat peace and security on the Korean peninsula.

It is the lesson taught by history that neither peace of the country nor its independent reunification can be achieved unless the U.S. aggressor troops mercilessly violating the dignity of the south Korean people and keen on provoking a nuclear are driven out from south Korea.

All Koreans in the north and the south and abroad should stage a bolder struggle to get the imperialist aggressor troops withdrawn from south Korea under the uplifted banner of national independence and reunification, and thus protect peace on the peninsula and achieve the historic cause of national reunification as early as possible.
