The death penalty if you go against the Kim family!
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is always in the news for various reasons. Because the country has been identified as a 'degenerate state' without regard to international laws and norms. Everyone is waiting, then what will Kim do? Even if Kim doesn't get a chance to sit at the same table with the world's superpowers, Kim wants to prove to the world that he cannot be ignored no matter what he does.
Far from freedom of speech, the basic needs of the people are also in the hands of this family. Since independence from Japan in 1945, three men have been U. The Kim family continues the dictatorship in Korea. And there are allegations that North Korea has been enslaved for years. Family dictatorship has been going on in North Korea for the past few decades. Three generations of the Kim family have held supreme power for centuries.
North Korea's first and 'eternal' president Kim Il-sung, grandfather of the current head of state Kim, came to power. He was then succeeded by his grandfather's son, Kim's father, Kim Jong-il. And after the death of his father on December 17, 2011, Kim Jong Un came to power. Criticism against the government in the country does not spare from top officials to their own relatives. And for Christians, the country is a burning prison. Any Christian found anywhere in the country was shot dead. Criticizing the government or expressing an oppositional attitude is punishable by death or imprisonment.
Kim Jong Un sits in unfettered power as the third member of the dictatorial Kim dynasty. He is also believed to have killed his brother. Older half-brother Kim Jong-nam broke with the dynasty when he was overlooked for the succession and later became a CIA informant. The step brother was also murdered in a very dramatic manner on charges of treason. Even those who are involved in these murders are involved in events that they do not know until they are caught.
North Korea is one of the poorest countries in the world, but Kim has made the country a nuclear power in a short time. Ignoring the threat of other powerful countries, he has conducted one after another sophisticated missile tests. Kim has brought women to the fore by breaking some patriarchal traditions. He gave his wife Ri Sol Joo the status of first lady for the first time.
The party's executive council appointed younger sister Kim Yo Jong as a member of the Politburo. Kim Jong Un is like a god to North Korean citizens. However, it is not clear whether it was due to compulsion or fear. Kim has several precedents for punishing critics of the government, sometimes by throwing them into the mouths of hungry dogs, sometimes by cannonballs, and sometimes by shooting them from the front. In 'brutal' the ruler executed over three hundred nobles. Until the country's army chief, General Ri Yong-gil, was blown up by cannon fire.
In 2014, he killed his uncle Jung Sang Thaek by leaving a pack of starving dogs on charges of anti-government activities. Kim spared none of Jang's blood relations. Innocent children were not spared. Kim executed Defense Minister Hyon Yong-chul by anti-aircraft cannon fire for falling asleep at a military function. Ignoring the threat of death and imprisonment, two North Korean citizens recently opened their mouths to the international media BBC. According to their sources, 'Kim took money from people. Kim used his head to extort money like a bloodsucker according to most citizens.'
According to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (OCHA), 70 percent of the country's citizens depend on government food programs. They get 300 grams of food for three meals a day. 41 percent of North Korean citizens suffer from malnutrition. About 1.8 million citizens are food insecure. There is a directive that no one can be named 'Kim Jong-un' in North Korea. In addition, the same prohibition is in effect for grandfather Il-sang's name. No one can even celebrate Kim's father's and grandfather's birthdays.
The story of the Kim family is all over the country's school and college textbooks. There is a description of the greatness of 'Wonder Boy' Kim Jong Un. The question on many minds today is whether its purpose is to instill unquestioning loyalty in the next generation through fear.
