My heart breaks for the North Korean people but if the world isn’t firm with North Korea’a tyrant rulers things will never get better.
I agree, but it is heartwretching knowing they are starving once again....here’s another report. Perhaps the people will find courage and finally revolt. You notice that even this feed is going to Kim’s army first and foremost.
“North Korea is disguising Chinese livestock feed into normal grain since late January, supplying them firstly to soldiers according to a source in Yanggang Province.
As the Chinese livestock feed, mixed of unripe rice and sand, is on the market in bulk at lower prices, the exchange rate of the North Korean currency and grain prices have dropped.
North Korean trade officials have been trying to exchange medicinal herb, scrap iron and ore for food, but Chinese merchants have rejected the nonpaying offer.
However, sweeping natural disasters increased bad crops not fit for sale, influencing China to sell the unripe rice to North Korea at a cheap price.
“The North also requested that the animal picture, which shows that animal feed is contained, is removed from the sack,” said another source from the province. “You can’t tell whether it’s for human or animals by looking at the cover.”
