Pyongyang, February 29 (KCNA) -- The conservative group of south Korea is enthusiastic about escalating confrontation with the DPRK. Shortly ago, traitor Hwang Kyo An said it is greatly regretful and bitterly resentful that the north watches for every chance to invade the south and shows two faces of dialogue and provocation. The "United Future Party", combination of the conservatives, complaining about ever more serious security crisis, set the military preparedness against someone's threat and principled policy towards the north as its general election commitments in its wicked propaganda for confrontation with the DPRK. This is a hysteric act of the heinous confrontational maniacs engrossed in hostility towards the fellow countrymen. What matters is that such a confrontational racket has become more frantic ahead of the election of the "National Assemblymen". The status quo clearly proves once again that the conservative group remains unchanged in...

Future of planet The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is performing miracles and winning victories in the face of difficulties and trials. The justice and truth are being trampled down by the power of the imperialism on the planet. But the DPRK is hastening the future with its own creative way, making its way under the banner of independence. Miraculous creation and legendary made by the DPRK became the most amazing miracle and event of the 21st century. What is the key of creation that the DPRK, small in territory and population, has worked above-said miracles under the maximum sanctions, blockade and pressure of the hostile elements? Because the DPRK has the Supreme Leader  Kim Jong Un,  defender of the justice and truth, who is leading the DPRK along the ever-victorious path with his outstanding political ability. He is the symbol of DPRK’s mightiness and rosy future.   The DPRK people are making giant strides towards the road the Supreme Leade...

Every sin brings its punishment with it. On Feb. 19, ex-south Korean president Lee Myung-bak was convicted. The court  overruled the original judgment  of fifteen year’s imprisonment and announced seventeen year’s imprisonment. Lee  claimed his  innocence denying all suspicion at last  pleading . He argued about justice impudently as the suspect who has been sentenced to penal servitude for fifteen years on charge of fraudulence at the first hearing since he abused his position of assemblyman, Seoul mayor and president, the ruling Democratic Party said on Feb.19. The crime of Lee is unfathomable as he destroyed democracy and played on the people by abusing his power, it noted. On the same day, the progressive organizations in South Gyeongsang Province welcomed the detention of Lee . Lee made a great fortune and evaded taxes by abusing the presidency. But he  remained  consistent in lie and excuse, far from making an apology. We, with...

Stop military drill! On Jan.21,  the  south Korean Defense Ministry expressed through a report that the south Korean-US joint military exercises will be carried out this year on the same scale as last year.   The south Korean people from all social strata raise their voices that the joint military maneuvers only increase escalation of tension and danger of war instead of peace on the Korean Peninsula. On Feb. 19, over eighty-three civic organizations including labor, women, human rights and religion called a press conference in Seoul to demand suspension of the military drill. The military drill aggravates sour inter-Korean ties and north Korea-US relationship and military tension in the Korean Peninsula and northeast Asia would hinder peace process of the Korean Peninsula, the organizations pointed out. Dialogue is incompatible with military maneuver. It is high time for south, north Korea and the US to make efforts to create favorable conditions fo...

Of late, the US is becoming all the more pronounced in its moves to put pressure upon north Korea militarily. The US is intensifying the aerial reconnaissance against north Korea with its reconnaissance planes.  It has reinforced nuclear-powered Theodore Roosevelt task force in Guam, deployed stealth F-22s at the US air base in Yokota, Japan and newly deployed an armored brigade in the US mainland to south Korea. On the other hand, it is going to deploy newly-made nuclear warhead to be loaded onto strategic striking means to be introduced into the Korean Peninsula in case of contingency. It has pushed ahead to deploy medium-range ballistic missiles in Asia-pacific region and has plan to launch military exercise for removing mass destruction weapons.  The south Korean authorities are reading face of the US, failing to utter even a word of protest to the US which is going to drive the situation of the Korean Peninsula to the brink of war. It is disgusting sycophantic ac...

The US Department of Defense earmarked a billion US$ of budget for missile defense of 2021 in a bid to enhance its capability and operation of the THAAD that has been deployed in south Korea and different parts of the world.   The US disassembled THAAD launch pad in North Gyeongsang Province and remodeled its firing system with remote control. It deployed some launch pads in north areas and is going to expand operation sphere of THAAD and operate interception system of Patriot with remote control through radar of THAAD.   The US notified the south Korean authorities about it and has bulldozed south Korea into paying expenses for THAAD. The south Korean authorities are taking a humiliating attitude. It is a dangerous military maneuver driving the situation of the Korean Peninsula and other regions to extreme phase and a grave challenge to the Korean nation opposing deployment of THAAD.   The facts betray once again the true colors of the US and its fol...

Commentary of AINDF Spokesman Broad segments of south Korean people are  launch ing  a campaign for boycotting  Japanese  goods  started from July of last year in protest against  Japan’s retaliatory measures. It is an eruption of pent-up wrath and anger of the people at Japan which denies the hideous unethical crimes it committed against the Korean nation and persistently refuses to make apology and reparation. The Japanese imperialists forcibly took more than 8.4 million young and middle-aged Koreans to battle fields for aggression and slave labor sites. They abducted 200 000 Korean women, forcing them into sexual slavery. The Japanese reactionaries are a group of barbarian ignorant of morality and courtesy and the sworn enemy of the Korean nation. The south Korean people of different strata should demonstrate the spirit and mettle of the Korean nation who values truth and dislikes  injustice. The AINDF, together with the people of var...

Some days ago,  Hwang Gyo-ahn,  t he ex-representative  of the  Liberty Korea Party, is being accused by the south Korean people from all walks of life as he spoke that some event was happened in 1980, pointing at the May 18 Gwangju popular resistance at a restaurant in Seoul. The some event, Hwang recalled, is the May 18 Gwangju popular uprising against Chun Doo-hwan military fascist rule. Hwang distorted the May 18 Gwangju popular uprising as a “riot” when Chun said at that time. This year marks the 40th anniversary of May 18 popular uprising. We are shocked by historical awareness of Hwang, the Ruling Democratic Party condemned. Hwang should apologize since he insulted the Gwangju popular uprising and he denied democracy, the Bareun Party stressed. Hwang has a poor knowledge of the May 18 resistance, he should make a sincere apology to the spirit of the departed and Gwangju residents, it is quite absurd  that Hwang, who is unaware of history of so...

Commentary of AINDF spokesman The south Korean authorities are revealing its sinister attempt to take part in the US-led combined military drill in a foreign nation. They are going to take part in the combined military exercises to be conducted in American mainland as well as in Australia, the Philippines, Thailand and Mongolia this year and also in alien countries in 2021 and 2022. It is an open hostility against north Korea and intolerable pro-US sycophantic attitude and warlike acts as the south Korean authorities intend to increase the number of its participation and scale. They have talked about “dialog” and “peace” so far. Their lip-service is full of deception and it’s clear as noonday that who deteriorates inter-Korean relations and disturbs peace of the Korean Peninsula.  It’s no doubt that the military authorities are warmongers enjoying war gamble.  It’s miserable that the south Korean troops are being used as a tool for strategy of world hegemony and cannon...

The Liberty Unification Party was  formed  ahead of general election of south Korea. In a word, the LUP is nothing but a traitorous group dreaming of revival of conservatism and deep-rooted evils. Kim Moon-soo, who was elected as the head of the LUP, is a political philistine and heinous confrontation seeker against north Korea. Once he had been involved in labor and student movements. But as he had unsteady faith, he joined the ultra-rightist conservative party “Liberty Korea Party” and was  stigmatized  as a traitor from his fellows and south Korean people from all walks of life. The aim that he formed the LUP is an expression of his greed to grab a seat of national assembly. When Park Geun-hye was impeached, Kim took part in a rally of ultra- rightist conservatism to say Park is a woman of spotless integrity and demanded her release, wearing a tearful face. He belittled the September Pyongyang Joint Declaration and agreement of inter-Korean militar...

Withdraw Right Now! On Feb. 7, the Busan movement headquarters called  a  press conference in Busan, carrying placards written with “The US 7 th  Fleet, leave lagoon Paekwoon right now!”. Blue Ridge  has made port to take part in south Korea-US military drill to be conducted on March every year. How should we see its entrance of the port on March this year? Don’t disturb peace and unification on the Korean Peninsula and remove  Blue Ridge  at once!, they raised their voices.     It’s only deception although it has advertised it as a friendly visit.  Blue Ridge  has put into port to take part in the joint military exercise on March and August every year. It’s very clear why it put into lagoon Paekwoon this time when the joint military drill is scheduled. We demand  Blue Ridge  to leave now and warn the US armed force that they would face a sharp protest of the people in Busan as soon as they land in Busan, they asser...

Commentary of AINDF spokesman South Korean people of all social strata and progressive organizations are carrying on a sustained struggle in demand of acquittal of students who have been in prison on charge of surprise demonstration in the US embassy in Seoul.   Some days ago, a meeting was held outside the Seoul detention house with attendance of hundreds of members of the organizations under the sponsorship of the Progressive Federation of University Students. They asserted that the surprise demonstration was the righteous action declaring the dignity of the south Korean people to the US which regards south Korea as a tributary.   However, the south Korean authorities have taken the students into custody until now. The south Korean authorities have criminalized the public indignation at the modern-version government-general which regards south Korea as a colony and coerces the overseas dispatch. It is a disgrace and betrayal to the public sentiment.  ...

                            Overawed by the US pressure, the south Korean authorities decided dispatch of the south Korean troops, which are on duty at the Gulf of Aden, to the Strait of Hormuz.   It is intolerable as it is a pro-US sycophancy and anti-national act to offer the south Korean youth to the US for the bullet-shields. Broad segments of south Korean people are strongly denouncing the decision of dispatch to the Strait of Hormuz, branding it as participation in a war of imperialism and unconditional submission to the US. The south Korean authorities are making a string of poor excuses, however, it is a sophistry to appease the enraged people and justify their humiliating attitude toward the US. It is a foolish delusion that the south Korean authorities harbor idea that the US would lower the defense sharing cost in return for the troop dispatch.   The abject plight of the so...

Release at once! A few days ago, a meeting was held in demand of release of students outside a detention house in Seoul . Participated in the meeting were the members of the Youth People’s Party, the Solidarity for People’s Sovereignty and students. The issue of defense cost sharing shows lopsided relationship between south Korea and the US. Let’s fight together to put an end to the unequal relationship with US. The People’s Party will stand in the van to release the patriotic students, the representative of the Youth People’s Party said. There are no reasons to put four students behind the bars. The protest of the students made us know what the US really is for the south Korean people and encouraged us, the chairman of association for supporting conscientious  prisoners  noted. The nationwide anti-US struggle will be more vigorous and the resistance for liquidation of conservatism will be intensified on a full scale. Let’s turn the situation better to re...

Sordid threat The US military in south Korea have threatened the south Korean employees that they would be on unpaid leave of absence from April 1 as the negotiation for south Korea–US defense cost sharing proved failure. In other words, in case of the negotiation for five billion US$ of defense expenses fail to reach settlement, it would exact increased expenses from south Korea at any cost. In connection with this, the People’s Party claimed that it’s shameless deception before threat on Jan. 29. They are threatening  the  livelihood of the south Korean employees, as it has failed to raise the expenses, the spokesman for the People’s Party condemned through a commentary. The US troops in south Korea have floating money worth over one billion US$. It is disgusting that they are exhorting expenses from south Korea, he said. The more people defend the national sovereignty, the more the US aggressive nature and greed for exploitation would be revealed, the spokes...
