Genuine Peace Rests on Strong Power

With the Gaza crisis dragging on for one year, the world media have recently released data on losses in Gaza.

As of October 7, 41,825 were killed and 96,910 were injured while the number of refugees reached 1.9 million.

125 schools and educational institutions were demolished and 336 buildings were partially destroyed due to the indiscriminate bombing.

What is more tragic is that these dreadful figures will not stop here.

The international community aspiring to a peaceful and righteous world is raising its voice of strong denunciation. Various countermeasures are taken by international organizations in their own way.

Yet all of them are by no means strong enough to stop Israel’s atrocious massacre being committed in demonstration of its absolute superiority in power.

Today, the humanitarian crisis in the region is spilling over into other areas beyond the Gaza Strip.

The reality is another proof that appeals from the international community or help from outside forces whatsoever can neither protect nor reclaim the right to existence of a sovereign state and peaceful life of its people.

Peace can only be brought by each and every country’s self-defensive capability. This is the serious lesson learnt from the crisis in the Gaza Strip.

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, in his historic speech delivered in September on the occasion of the DPRK founding anniversary, declared that strong power leads to genuine peace and an absolute guarantee for the country’s development. He clarified that the DPRK’s military muscle will develop in an accelerated and continued way, and we will not set a limit to its attainment.

This is how the peace is maintained on the Korean peninsula where the world’s worst-ever confrontation lasts for more than half a century between socialism and imperialism and between revolution and counter-revolution.

The world will witness with envy and admiration, in the days to come, the eternal dignity of the DPRK and the happiness of her people that are flourishing thanks to the leadership of the great leader.

Statements Issued by Overseas Koreans' Organizations
Pyongyang, October 18 (KCNA) -- Overseas Koreans' organizations issued press statements and statements to condemn the scum of the ROK for their serious provocation of violating the sovereignty of the DPRK.

Cha Sang Bo, vice-chairman of the General Association of Koreans in China (GAKC), in a press statement on October 14 said that the GAKC and all the Koreans in China are filled with the surging anger and revenge upon the puppet ROK scum's thrice-cursed reckless act of infiltrating drones into the sky over the capital city of the DPRK to scatter the dirty political agitation rubbish.

The Yoon Suk Yeol puppet clans should not run amuck, clearly mindful that the provocation against the DPRK is a suicidal act of cutting off their windpipes with their own hands, the vice-chairman said, adding that if the puppet ROK lets drones carrying dirty political agitation rubbish fly into the sacred sky over the homeland again, disregarding the DPRK's patience and warning, they will be doomed to miserable death.

Kim Kyong Ryol, vice-chairman of the Central Association of Korean Nationals in Russia, in a press statement said that the provocative act of the dolts unaware of their miserable position is aimed at tarnishing the image of the DPRK at any cost and maintaining their regime as good as dead.

The Social Confederation of Koreans in Far East of Russia in a statement said that the puppet ROK clans are trying to evade the responsibility through all sorts of sophisms after committing a rogue-like act without hesitation by infiltrating into the sky over the DPRK. The group of gangsters taking no account of international law clearly showed that they are the wreckers of peace, the statement noted.

The International Social Confederation of Koreans in a statement on October 13 bitterly denounced the puppet ROK clans' reckless political and military provocation against the DPRK, and strongly demanded that they make an apology before the whole world. -0-

Press Statement of Kim Yo Jong, Vice Department Director of C.C., WPK
Pyongyang, October 18 (KCNA) -- The following is the press statement of Kim Yo Jong, vice department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, titled "Do not spout absurd remarks":

We cannot but call the clan of the ROK as a really weird one.

The head of the information office of its Joint Chiefs of Staff, at a regular news briefing on Thursday, talked about "copyright" all of a sudden while grumbling about the measure taken by us to completely block the roads and railways connected to the ROK near the southern border of the DPRK physically.

He asserted that one of the three photos of explosion released by KCNA was the one taken by the ROK and we disregarded the copyright by using it without permission.

The ROK seemingly doesn't know what the blasting carried by us means and what imminent severe security crisis it faces, ignorant of the essence of the current situation. No wonder, it has gone as foolish as to hype a "rumor about photo," something completely irrelevant to the matter.

Dancing to that tune, media and so-called experts are busy with a detailed analysis, talking about "camera angle" and "shape of smoke".

They have nothing to do more significant, haven't they?

Their behavior makes even a cat laugh.

I would like to inform those idiots of the fact that the photo is a screenshot from one of the video clips released by NBC, Fox News, Reuters and other foreign media.

We cannot take a photo at that angle. So we used that photo, finding that it met our intention, being visually good and excellent in composition.

Is it problematic?

Hasn't the ROK used the photos and video clips released by KCNA when airing the news about us?

Then a question arises as to whether the ROK thought about a violation of international law and copyright when reporting the news about us with our photos and video clips.

It is their unreasonable criterion that nothing matters when they do so but when we do it, it is a violation of international law and copyright. I would like to make them unable to say anything more at once.

According to our initial investigation, Yonhap News, Kyunghyang Daily News and other media of the puppet ROK all abused the two photos of explosion opened to public by us for their news report.

It seems that it is necessary to probe into whether our approval was secured in the ROK where international law is allegedly well observed.

This is just chicanery peculiar to the ROK, the country without a parallel in the world in abusing international law, international standard, principle and generally accepted value for their benefits and hurting others.

Its Joint Chiefs of Staff in charge of defending security of its country should properly investigate the grave violation of the sovereignty and security of our Republic first, instead of disgracing itself by engaging in such a deed unbecoming to its position as photo assessment.

They will be watched until they refrain from dodging and feigning ignorance.

Explicitly speaking once again, we are clearly aware that the ROK has severely violated our sovereignty.

Curiosity arises as to how much they will get for shirking responsibility and letting out nonsense.

They are, indeed, weird ones. -0-
