U.S. Forces' Withdrawal from S. Korea Urged

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, September 23 (KCNA) -- The struggle for the withdrawal of the U.S. forces from south Korea is a just and patriotic struggle to ensure peace of the country and accomplish the cause of national reunification by the efforts of the nation itself, says Rodong Sinmun Thursday in a signed article. Had it not been for the U.S. armed occupation of south Korea, the Korean nation would have built a reunified power in this land long ago and made a progress, the article says, and goes on:
    For the U.S. imperialists' occupation of south Korea, the Korean nation already suffered the scourge of a war and is exposed to the threat of another war today. The U.S. imperialists' occupation of south Korea and their moves to invade the DPRK have jeopardized the peace of the country and the security of the nation and thrown ordeals and barriers in the way of the cause of Korea's reunification.
    The U.S. imperialist aggression forces should be driven out of south Korea as they are harassing peace on the Korean peninsula and putting a major stumbling block in the way of its reunification. Only then can the security of the peninsula be ensured and a peaceful atmosphere be created for its reunification.
    It is the exercise of its legal right by the Korean nation to demand the withdrawal of the U.S. aggression forces from south Korea. No one can take issue with this right.
    Keeping its forces in south Korea, the U.S. has violated the sovereignty of the Korean nation and it is still maintaining its forces in south Korea in disregard of the stipulation of the Korean Armistice Agreement calling for their withdrawal from south Korea and the resolution of the UN General Assembly.
    The U.S is still riding high and mighty in disregard of international law to gratify its own aggressive interests, paying no heed to the interests of the Korean nation. Its occupation policy in south Korea can be scuttled only through a coordinated struggle of the Korean nation.
    When the 70 million Koreans turn out they can certainly emerge the victor in the confrontation with the U.S. and greet a new era in national history in which they would become independent, reunified and prosperous, free from outside forces.
    Everyone who has the blood and soul of the Korean nation should fully discharge his or her responsibility and role in the patriotic struggle to make 2005 the year of the withdrawal of the U.S. force from south Korea.
