North Korea-Kimpossible !

Kim Jong Un , is he a megalomaniac? A ruthless dictator ?  A Madman ? 

Several Myths, theories and weird information have flooded the internet on this man,not all are authentic.

North Korea might be the last Bastion of the dictators considering Cuba has made a lot of reforms. The weird, Bizzare rules and horrifying Human rights abuses sometimes border on the realm of absurdity.

Such is the sycophancy that the country's calendar starts from the day Kim's family became the supreme leaders of the country and all dates before that has been deleted! 

When the second world war ended the country was liberated by Japanese. US and Russia failed to unify the nation was divided on the 38 th parallel. The north went to USSR and the south went to US. North was named as North Korea and US gave South to democratic south Korea.

Kim Jong un took over the reins in 2011 and has practiced the cult of personality like his father. He has absolute control of the country and has subsequently executed many military and government officials. Myths have surrounded his repression,his brutal assassinations and Demigod status among his followers. He also got his half brother killed by lady assassins at Kuala Lumpur airport.

Kim Jong Un studied In Switzerland graduated with flying colours. His friends confess that he was very shy and was awkward with girls.

His love for volley ball and Jackie chan films are well documented, LA lakers and Chicago bulls being his favourite teams. 

He even had Volley Ball star Dennis Rodman as a state guest In North Korea in 2013. Rodman Had some kind words to describe Kim.(Refer pic below)

He is supposed  to be  keen Sports enthusiast and likes North Korea to make a mark on the international scene.

In order to improve his image on the international scene he has started many Construction projects and wants North korea to be a tourist destination. It may seem a  distant dream as getting visa to North Korea is the toughest in the world. NK has travel access only from China by train and Air Koryo-NK's national airline

Some independent Journalists have been granted access to NK, have said it was an orchestrated tour with Govt agents tailing them all the time.

One American Journalist from Reporters without borders describes the experience as    "surreal" a state organized PR exercise. Anti-American sentiments are forced into the psyche of children as enemy No1. Such is the hatred among the people that even wearing Jeans is not allowed in NK, as jeans is a symbol American imperialism!

 

Kim orchestrated a huge Nuclear progamme that had NK test nuclear weapons in 2013, 2016 and 2018. According to an estimate NK has around 60 nuclear weapons , some even capable of striking the US.

US president trump described him as ''Rocket man on a suicide mission"and put sanctions on NK. 

The soured relations between US and NK thawed when south Korea brokered a meeting between North Korea and US.

They met in Singapore and discussed Nuclear disarmament among other topics. 

It is believed that he has not shown much reciprocation to the new US government .

According to reliable reports Internet is not available for the people of NK and some Government offices only have them with official permission. Very few people have access to  Mobile phones and international calls are prohibited.

Kim Jong un is supposed to have numerous palaces and private Yatch, Multiple cars and A private jet. In a country where the per-capita income is among the worst in the world and people are among the most malnourished, the leader is basking in luxury.

Some of the bizarre diktats are, people are only allowed to have certain hairstyles approved by the Government. Anybody violating this would be severely punished!

 Approved Hairstyles by Government

Some defectors and Lucky people who have escaped North Korea have described the presence of concentration camps,meting out severe punishment and starvation for anti-government activities. Some describe these as brutal as Nazi camps with some of the most horrific tortures.

UN has already recommended Kim for crimes against humanity for Torture,mass murders and summary executions.

We may never see the end of the  torture or repression endured by the people of North Korea in the near future as we hear Kim has already handed over partial power to his sister, Kim Yo Jong.

Kim's recent diplomacy with several world leaders and his inclination to sign nuclear non proliferation agreement has shown that he might be negotiated with good world leadership.

we can only hope and pray a dark chapter in the history can be erased and people of north Korea can taste freedom.
